99My OH and I are feminists. I often feel guilty therefore by the fact we didn't do away with the engagement ring tradition. We just went along with the 'man buys woman diamond' thing without even...
I have been a lurker on this forum for a while, and am very happy to say that my boyfriend is now my fiance after proposing to me in Italy at the weekend. He bought a fairly cheap ring to propose...
I have a few items for sale from our dark blue, pale pink and white wedding in 2015. I can supply pictures and more detail/measurements if anyone is interested. Paper lanterns, to hang from a ceiling,...
It's been a little while since I've used this forum so I'm just checking it's not against the rules to try to sell some of our wedding decorations on here. I've been doing a clear out and still have...
In a week's time it will be exactly six months since our wedding and although we have a trailer, we don't have our video from our VOG. The contract says nothing about how long it takes but I remember...
This is my first post for a while, being an OM and all, but i wondered whether you hitchers could help. My husband and I are going to a wedding in Italy in less than 3 weeks and i have nothing to...
Https://vimeo.com/129437779 Can't stop watching it! Brings back such good memories. I hope the final video is a bit more of our guests though and not just the two of us.
For anyone who's interested... http://memoriesandemotions.co.uk/hayley-and-martins-baltic-mill-wedding/
If pretty much any party EXCEPT Conservatives get in after the election, it is likely that the archaic laws we currently have will be changed such that humanist celebrants will be allowed to legally...
So, be warned, this is LONG. So much so I will post it in bits, with lots of obligatory flashes. This wedding features arrival of both bride and groom on a bike, an iconic venue in Newcastle, a...
Yesterday was amazing. Will try to write a full scale report when we return from our mini-moon but will flash this for now, not the best quality as it is from my aunt's phone.
We are still waiting for our official photos but intend to use at least one on our thank you cards. Dont want to leave it too late as my friend gets married at the end of may and I dont want to steal...
Well, today is my wedding day! I woke up at 3am with the stereotypical tingle on my bottom lip. Slapped on zovirax and hoped for the best. Now I've got up and it hasn't worked so have a blistery lip...
Pretty much sorted for the big day on Friday now, except we are mostly providing our own music and we are putting some playlists together now. Please could you look at the timings/list of likely music...
Another pp! Have sorted the music now and picked up my dress today (which fits perfectly, thank god!) So now there is nothing to do. We are decorating the room on Thursday afternoon, but honestly I...
At what point do we put music on? Our guests are arriving from 7 but our first dance isn't until 8ish. Surely we don't just have silence from 7-8? Do people dance before 'the first dance'? I've been...
My chief bridemsmaid/maid of honour has shown no interest in my wedding from day one. She is my oldest and most valued friend, and to be honest I have let it get to me and I've been quite upset about...
PP but seeing as pammy did it.. I also had my last day at work yesterday. The head announced it in staff briefing and said 'today she is leaving us as Ms Bennett, and next term she will be joining us...
So with one week to go I am feeling pretty organised and not stressing too much. But I was saying to a few people at work that I like the idea someone else on the forum mentioned about having a scent...
Woke up this morning full of cold, just in time for my hen weekend! I'm never ill! Hope my immune system shifts it before I have to leave for Liverpool after work tomorrow :-(
We paid £3240 back in February last year to secure our venue, this was the room hire, then we are due to pay the balance for food and drink in the next couple of weeks. Wedding is 5 weeks tomorrow. My...
Might it be fun to find out if there are any venue twins in the forum? Mine is Baltic Mill, Gateshead... Next?
Some of you may remember that I was having makeup woes as a woman in Debenhams who works for Mac, as well as a few hitchers, had advised against wearing estee lauder double wear foundation due to...
No nice way of putting this, I am scheduled to start menstruating on the Saturday of my hen weekend in March. We have a spa booked for the Sunday. Then in April I am scheduled to start menstruating...
Ok so I started a thread not so long ago about my makeup trial which went really well but she used estee lauder double wear foundation which I thought was fine (I wear makeup regularly but wouldn't...
This is a bit of an embarrassing problem, I am so rubbish at fastening suspenders to stockings/hold ups! I have never got the hang of it and very rarely wear them, only on special occasions. I am...
This is inspired by another thread about what products to use when DIYing bridal makeup, but based on some of the comments I'm now worried that my MUA is maybe not using the best stuff, so I'm after a...
We need around 10 tall (approx 60cm high) vases to stick some fake cherry blossom branches in for our ceremony. I'd rather buy than hire as having done some research I wouldnt be saving that much and...
Inspired by the various planning threads circulating at the moment. Thought it was only fair to let others have a nosey at my plans as I have with others! Enjoy. Venue, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary...
We are having a Humanist wedding and I know a Humanist celebrant through work who has really generously offered to do it for free. I'd like to get her a thank you present but have no idea what to get!...
So pleased with the result. I'm only flashing my hair as I want to remain as anonymous as possible incase anyone I know sees it. She's also lovely and made the effort to get to know me and my mum. She...
