Calling all Summer 2010 brides!

silverprincess

Hi guys,

I'm newly engaged (last week!) and thought I'd say hello. So far, we've ordered my engagement ring (get in in 2 weeks - yay!) and decided on (probably) autumn 2010 wedding...

Oh - and I brought a wedding planner :-)

Any advice appreciated!

Be careful cos tulips wilt easily esp. in the heat (if you are going for real flowers)



Although the appointment itself must be within a year you can book the appointment earlier (i.e. I can book an appointment now to see the registrar on 10/8) . And our register office allows you to book the wedding date once you have made the appointment - the appointment doesn't have to have taken place when you book. Thought this might be an important distinction for people itching to sort things out!

Planning on fake flowers to get around that very problem!

Plus at our registrar office we cant do anything until a year before.

She has reccomended I be the first there on the 27th august this year so that I can book the wedding. I then at the same time book us in to give our notice

Panicking on that one as we have to book the venue asap, but cant book the actual ceremony for another 2 months! If we cant get our time at the registrar we could be in trouble...
