Im getting Married this year!!

Hello.

Thought i would say a little hello and introduce myself. I have been looking at this board for a few weeks and been a MSE'er for a while.

Boyfriend proposed in November after almost 8 years together and we have set the date for next September.

I live in the Southampton Area and these are the things i have sorted so far.

Venue
Register
Date

Feel like i might be a bit behind but was giving myself untill the new year to really get into it!!

The advice on this board is brilliant, please keep up the good work!!!

    Civil ceremony at reception at Elmers Court near to the New Forest.

    http://www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk/elmerscourt/weddings/

    70 people during ceremony and 130 in the evening, rough numbers.

    Sit down three course meal.

    Got two colour schemes in mind at the moment. Hot Pink Or Turquiose.
    Want a really bold colour to stand out as i want a white dress.

    You?
