    Hey all,

    I thought I'd resurrect this thread from last summer, as I wanted to wait to do it until I was further ahead in my planning and then couldn't remember until now what it was called!

    1. Wedding date? 26/05/2012

    2. Wedding theme or colour scheme? Theme: Early 1960s/Mad Men. Colours: midnight blue and silver.

    3. Thing you have splashed out most on: Aside from the venue... a second wedding dress! Eek!

    4. Best bargain? Gorgeous '60s-inspired Alfred Sung bridesmaid dresses from the States (half the UK price), brought over by my lovely American workmate.

    5. Stupidest thing you decided that you had to have (before getting engaged) and now don't care about? I never really thought about wedding details until I got engaged.

    6. Venue? Oops, my OH said I should delete this bit!

    7. Engagement ring? Princess-cut solitaire diamond set in white gold.

    8. Describe your partner in 5 words: Cheeky, funny, handsome, clever, practical.

    9.First Dance song? 'All I Want Is You' by Barry Louis Polisar.

    10. Biggest panic moment so far? Most things have panicked me at one stage or another! Biggest one is probably the dress.

    11.Biggest Bride/Groomzilla moment? When my four bridesmaids all wanted to wear the same dress style (I wanted them in different-but-complementary styles.) I went Defcon 3 on their asses and got my way!

    12. Worst fear about the wedding day Tripping up and flashing my hold-me-in pants!

    13. Number of guests? 88 in the day, another 20-30 in the evening.

    14. The one person who has helped you more than anyone during the planning: My fantastic sister.

    15. Flavour of cake: We're having a cupcake tower with two different flavours: White chocolate orange and Mint choc chip!

    16. Rate your own :money: MSEness out of 10: 6 – I have MSE intentions but sometimes can't resist spending a little more...

    17. How long will you have been together on your wedding day? 9.5 years.

    18. Favourite TV or Movie wedding? Muriel's Wedding – the whole movie!

    19. Piece of advice you would give anyone who is planning their wedding: Be patient with your OH. He will probably not show the same high levels of excitement as you, but that's just boys for you! It doesn't mean he's not excited to be your hubby. :)

    Marriage is not a word it is... The beginning of something amazing.
