    Laura - same date as us :D

    Don't panic - things can get done far quicker than you think. We only got engaged on 30th August and in six weeks we've booked venue and registrar, photographer, DJ, cake person and flowers person. We didn't have availability problems with any of our suppliers - unless you want a really popular venue nothing needs booking two years in advance as some people would have you believe. :)

    Local wedding fairs are great - we found our cake and flowers at one the other week.

    27th June,

    Venue - deposit paid
    Registrar - booked but not paid deposit yet
    Colour scheme planned.

    ..... arghhhhh

    Photographer emailed who looks nice, but no dress or suits, no best man, no dj, no honey moon decided upon. Catering was set by the venue and that almost seems a blessing now looking at all the things we have not got.
