One month today. Squeee!!!!! So how's your planning going? What's left to do? Nervous yet? Biggest jobs left for us is rolling up 100 cones for confetti, everything else is either prepared ready to print, or booked/planned - all we need now is to pay...

Found this video which I thought was interesting, about a groom that spent a year planning a wedding in secret, and everything and everyone was organised but kept quiet from the bride. She thought she was going to a retirement party, but arrived, was...

I know it's the guests responsibility to bring confetti to a wedding but we thought we ought to supply some, just in case people don't remember or don't grasp they need to bring some. We have the confetti, some basic biodegradeable paper stuff and...

Was browsing Facebook this morning and noticed that one of my long-term friends in the US, who was actually the one that encouraged me to make 'first contact' which resulted in me being here, got engaged yesterday. They've set the date for 2nd...

Is it just me seeing Zoosk adverts at the top of the Hitched page occasionally, with details of loads of local singles just waiting to meet me? I can't help but wonder if it's not quite hitting its target demographic...?

No doubt most of you will be aware of the troubles in Tottenham following a police shooting on Thursday which has spread throughout London over the weekend. As it seems to be affecting more and more of London (including the area where I live) I...

Did you realise it was six weeks today? Do I hear a collective "squeeeeee" there? How's your planning going? Anything big left to do? We've been out today to get some small plastic bags and spent the afternoon measuring out our table crystals and...

A common discussion around here is what to get the men at your wedding as gifts. We had a huge problem until some googling came up with something we hadn't thought of - a personalised toolkit. Compact and useful, it's not likely to end up languishing...

Where's the time going??? It's fifty days today till our big day. Not much still to do, thankfully, except paying bills... but in 50 days and about 2 hours time I'll have a Mrs

Sigh... what would you do? Obviously, I'm going to need to get a haircut a couple of weeks before the wedding. Nothing fancy, straightforward trim and tidy up as always. However, I have two options. Firstly, there's a guys hairdressers round the...

Just curious really what - if anything - people are doing to remember or honour lost friends or relatives during their big day. I'll be using a quote from my grandfather's memoirs about his wedding (you've probably seen me post it before) during my...

Stuck with a little dilemma I thought I'd throw out to the collective wisdom. Quick background, my parents separated about 15 years ago. My father remarried about 10 years ago, my mother however has not been so lucky although she met a great guy...

Well, we planned some months ago that, on our holiday this week, we'd sort out putting the favours together. Just as well, as it's been a dreadful few days of weather and it doesn't look like it's going to change in the near future. I don't mind...

We've just received our first wedding gift, a cheque from someone who is unable to come, written out to "Mr and Mrs". Obviously we can't set up a joint account yet because "Mrs" does not yet exist, and won't do until after our big day in a few months...

Anyone notice the "Ends staurday" on the Berketex advert that comes up at the top of the screen? It always makes me smile when I see things like that in what should be professionally produced advertising, because it doesn't make me feel so bad when I...

Ok, so we've got the top table sorted, but now have five tables seating up to 12 people for the wedding breakfast. It's not a formal sit down meal, but a barbecue served in the garden so we don't know how many people will want to sit down rather than...
