partners needs was it had to be between the end of the premiership and the start
of the world cup, and the venue needs to have a tv just in case.

:hello: I'm a June 2010 bride!

My preferred date was 26th June but we're saving by going on a Friday (18th) but still to be signed for!

* We've chosen the reception venue
* We're awaiting to see if we can get married in church - should recieve form for Reverend tomorrow to see if he'll approve re OH's divorce
* Chosen colour scheme (gold & white/cream)
* Chosen 1 bridesmaid & 1 pageboy so far.
* Decided a honeymoon to Australia but haven't looked into it yet.
* Mother of Bride refusing to allow 'save the date' cards to go out :mad:

End of March 2010 (well it's sort of summer!!!) - not the best choice for wedding date but oh's dad works away at sea so we're limited to blocks he'll be in the country for.

Booked and paid for venue (just registry office),
Booked reception venue, mother's on the case for caterers and has the village !!!!! (community association) briefed on colour scheme to decorate the hall,
Guest list organized, in spreadsheet (waiting on OH to get a couple of his side's addresses),
Best man lined up
Believe mother's on the hunt for a vintage car for us to go to and from ceremony in
Hotel's booked to stay near the venue for a few days (parents paying)
Photos are being done by lil bro as his wedding present - he's got a lot of high-end digi camera kit and is actually a very talented little photojournalist (would never say this to his face) so they should be good, his girlfriend's making the cake - have requested chocolate not fruit as there's always something in fruit cake that people dislike... trying to persuade her a cake topper with us and the three-legged cat would be cool but don't know if that'll work!
Invites are made, written and going out this week (soon as oh gets back from tracking me down a printer cartridge since mine's ran out halfway through doing the info sheets with directions, taxi numbers, local hotels on)
Still no idea about what I'm wearing (hard to find something as a size 26), no idea with rings (struggling to find something reasonably priced to fit around my engagement ring, not sure if we're having favours or anything (I quite fancy the idea of retro sweetie 10p mixup type things to be honest - but more than 10p these days... mutter mutter... inflation... 60p for a Wispa... used to be 10p bought you enough sweets to get cavities for life in my day... SUGARED ALMONDS ARE BANNED).

I've delegated most of this to my mother who's having fun having a pet "project" to work on. I've basically done the invites (designed, printed and hand-embossed the interiors for pre-bought exteriors my mother picked up for £3 for 10) and that's that.

OH is still adamant he wants to play Road to Hell at the ceremony... NOT... GOING... TO... HAPPEN. He's a soppy nowt who loves the Lion King so I'm kind of tempted to have Can you feel the love tonight from that to be honest - but haven't broached that chat with him for a long while.
