Sounds great! What kind of ring does he want then? I'd highly recommend the jewellery quarter in Birmingham if anyone is close enough to take a trip that way, I found lots of places were much cheaper than the high st shops around here, & there's a lot more choice. Just be careful to bypass the really, really expensive shops! (I started looking in the window of a couple & noticed most items were £1000+, so we quickly moved on!)

Gorgeous rings Pern! I love the diamonds you have in yours, it'll be very sparkly!

The OH and I are getting our rings from the Jewellery Quarter; his friend at work used to work there and knows a few contacts so we've got the brochure and we're just taking bits we like from each.

Just a word of advice from my mum; apparently the engraving on the outside will rub off eventually, she had something engraved on her ring and it rubbed off after 10 years.

Pern - lovely rings! They are gorgeous.
Rahven - how exciting, we are also going to the USA and went to the travel agents yesterday! Very exciting!

Thanks for the advice on the invites. The church is around 10 minutes away from where everyone lives but I will include details about the pub at the end of the road (after checking he opens on a Sat pm!). I would think people will come to the ceremony then go home as it isn't that far. Any ideas on how to word it without sounding like come to our ceremony then clear off and amuse yourself?!!!

Chose my wedding ring yesterday - just OH to choose his now. Getting busy here with going back to work on Monday and starting new job x

Ahh fair enough Becs that's a bit different I guess. Perhaps it'd make it clearer if you swapped them round? i.e. come see us get married then we'd love to see you later on at the reception, sort of thing?

Where are you planning on going in the US, and was the travel agent helpful? We've been looking online at all of our honeymoon stuff

Might do rahven thanks.
We are going to Florida, flying to Orlando doing disney then off down the coast, doing universal at the end.
I'm a bit of a travel geek so didn't find travel agent helpful but just gave us a guide on what we could be paying (Vs my own research!)

He wants one in a style called Mokume Gane (it looks like wood grain) but we could only find an engraved imitation pattern locally. Not even thought about Birmingham and it's way closer than Canterbury!
I keep quizzing OH about honeymoon - we've discussed going on a cruise round the Med for a week, and also mentioned going somewhere before the cruise for a couple of days, but he keeps saying to ask him when he's less tired!

Oooh Becca I'd love to go to Universal Studios!

Hello! i have been so busy the last couple of months i havent had time to get on and read any of the forums! just caught up with this one though and sounds like everyones doing really well with planning, lots of lovely dresses! I think im doing ok, this is how far i've got:
*Venues booked - im getting married in a old building thats now run as a small musium but also does weddings and then having my reception at a nearby old hotel, im a bit into my history!
*Got my car booked - its a 1916 ford in original condition, wanted the oldest car i could find and i think i got it!
*Dress arranged - im having it made by a lady that made my sisters so know it will be lovely as shes very good.
*Got appointment to give notice in october
*Photographer is booked - actually price includes 2 and lots of other things
*Meeting with chef in October to discuss what food we would like

Going to look at rings this saturday and begining to look into suits and hopefully start on invites soon to, also going to try vistaprint. Can anyone think of anything else i should be doing now?

Also how many people are having chair covers? my venue has red chairs with gold frames which will clash with my theme (purple and silver) so im not sure what to do about it as they can be expensive i think. Any ideas welcome!!

For us, it's exactly but I meant for the June girls in general it's nine months!

So fast, especially as I'm back to work next week and moving soon so no more planning until November at the earliest, eek! Think I've done everything that needs doing so far!

becca0417

How exciting Gem hope the move goes well!
Also back to work and starting new job next week so won't be on here as much (or maybe I will !)
