I've just heard Robbie's 'old before I die' on the radio, it's the first time I've heard it in absolute yonks. It reminded me of the massive poster i had of him on my wall - Who were your poster Pin-Up's as a kid? On my walls I had..... Robbie (of...

Well it's only taken 5 months but I've finally chosen an engagement ring! The diamond is going to be reset in white gold to match my engagement necklace and will be a size smaller Excuse my manly looking hands! What does your ring look like? Dawn....

My darling daughter has her national twirling competition in a few weeks time and on the last night we always do a fancy dress theme for the party. I've mostly got away with it in the past - one year, we were all given a colour and I got black - we...

So, it was suggested in my previous thread that I should do my 3month flash today. I was going to wait until I had a picture of me in my dress but...as I'm feeling a little down...and it might cheer me up...here goes!! First of all, the venue - the...

The OH and I have a cake appointment tomorrow, we have a rough idea of what we'd like :] What's everyone's cakes like?

Feels like we haven't had a generic photo thread in a while. This was going to be 'photo of the week', but mine was taken last Sunday so I would have had to disqualify myself on a technicality. Inspired by Modern Family's opening credits, infinity...

Ok, so I'm leaving one out as that one is solely for my OH, but here's the other three!! Just got to get them printed now and get the one framed ? So, not bad for an old, short, fat bird eh!!!

I can't stop staring at my engagement ring and I was wondering if I was the only one that does this? Lol I thought I'd start this thread as I always love seeing other people's styles of ring they have & any stories behind them ? so here goes with...

she's presented me with a dilemma! This is my second wedding and also OH's so we neither expected nor asked either of our parents to help out financially. In fact, as some of you know, I have been planning and paying for the wedding mostly by myself...

This is OH's suit which I absolutely love : They are however, a lot more purply than red and now I'm unsure what to do about waistcoats We had planned to have something like this: but I have a feeling they won't go together. So we could have just...

Is anyone else getting married in September 2014? How far are you with your plans for the day? Abi

Have any of you found that sorting out odd bits and pieces seems to take up a lot of your time?! Today I've searched for and found braces for the ushers, my son who is giving me away and the pageboys; Looked for and finally found ivory shirts for the...
