Hi all, got engaged New Years Eve, planning on getting married Sat 28th May (venues permitting)

Currently sending off for details of venues etc

Its all very daunting, dont really know where to start!!

Try this free website- weddingplanner.co.uk. It has a check list of things to do and in what order...i've found it quite useful and it can sen dyou an email once per week saying what you have left to do or what's ovrdue..

Somedays I'm feeling quite positive about stuff. Somedays (like yesterrday) I'm feeling very stressed thinking we can't find what we are looking for.

I have just been reading all the other posts about buying dresses and got a little comment

I bought my dress nearly a year ago, since then i have lost nearly 3 stone and guess what the dress doesnt fit - this has be soooo upsetting for me but luckly thought i have spoken to Lindaatno9 on this forum who i have since visted and she said it can be altered.

All i would say is looking back i probally bought my dress too soon so just hold out till you are happy with your size/shape

Hi Everyone!!

Getting married 25th May 2011 in Zakynthos!! Its all booked, and we have a wedding planner so the only thing we have to do are the buying of the wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, suits and rings and our holiday over there!
Got my dress in October last year, which is really really early,I know but I love it soooo much, its perfect for a beach wedding!! Got a size bigger, just incase but it can be altered easily!
Doing bridesmaid dress from the high street hopefully this season, to keep costs down, and to get something in chiffon as it will be hot.....
OH hasn't decided what he wants to wear, he's joking that he'll turn up in speedos!!
Booking the time over there soon, hoping to get three weeks!!

Has anyone else got their wedding dress as early as I did??

Good luck everyone, big hugs XX

Hi all,

Just thougt I'd update on progress.....

Booked Venue and Registrar today (origionally wanted Sat 28th May but now gone for Sunday 29th after venue was already booked). On the plus it means that we don't have to have the minimum numbers that apply for the Saturday which would have meant that it was possibly ruled out.

Very happy now, feel like I can relax for a while even though I know there is soo much to do (especially as soo many of you seem to be soo organised)

Any ideas for honeymoon.... will need to be 5 nights as we are both teachers so it's back to work the following week, ideally somewhere warm ish and not too touristy but still with things to do if thats at all possible?????

Hi people,

Getting married 21st May 2011, and haven't done a darn thing yet!
Obviously everyone is in different areas, but anyone going for a marquee? I really want my wedding outside, and my best friends and BM seems to think May time is always pretty good weather. We're getting married in Bath.
Gonna have a capri marquee, and then if its pouring I guess I'll just have to put the sides down.
Anyone been to a marquee wedding in pouring rain? God, just wish there was reliable weather in England!
