Now that I only have 2 and a bit months to go, I'd quite like to revisit my answers, if you will all indulge me!
White_Sapphire wrote: »Ooh, I like! :T Still early days for me, but here goes:
1. Wedding date?
1st September 2012
2. Wedding theme or colour scheme?
Slightly vintage, purple, turquoise and orange
3. Thing you have splashed out most on?
The venue. Actually, that's pretty much the only thing we've spent money on so far!
The thing we've spent the most on is the food and drink, but in terms of going 'stuff it, I want to indulge' it's probably my hairpiece, recently ordered for £52. I wasn't going to spend any more than £30 on it!
4. Best bargain?
MoH's dress pattern, at half-price.
My necklace, bought for £10 at a vintage fayre. A stunning piece of opal and crystal gorgeousness!
5. Stupidest thing you decided that you had to have (before getting engaged) and now dont care about?
Perfect aesthetics, and a massive expensive venue. I have not always been MSE...
6. Venue?
Lord Mayor of Bristol's official residence
7. Engagement ring?
White sapphire in an asymmetric yellow gold setting.
8. Describe your partner in 5 words
Selfless, loving and damn sexy
That still applies!!
9.First Dance song?
No idea yet
Nope, still not decided - not doing too well really, am I??
10. Biggest panic moment so far?
"Aaaarrrggghhh! Why can't I save any money?????" on a fairly regular basis
That we would have to cancel our venues and find somewhere cheaper as the budget was spiralling out of control. We managed to get things back on track though.
11.Biggest Bride/Groomzilla moment?
A brief and private foot-stomping fit at people getting engaged after us but getting married before.
Having to fly to our Honeymoon via Sleazyjet. I was adamant we would use a proper airline for once! Still, we're getting to the airport via 1st class on the train, so I can cope!
12. Worst fear about the wedding day
That something dreadful, like a car crash, will befall H2B on his way to the wedding.
Weirdly, it's gone to more superficial fears, like my dress being ruined, a la the last-ever episode of Vicar of Dibley!
13. Number of guests?
Around 85 for the day, 130 for the evening
80 for the day, 90-100 for the evening
14. The one person who has helped you more than anyone during the planning
H2B.
...and my mum! H2B and I make the decisions, Mum helps us implement them. We have other willing helpers, but my mum is the main one.
15. Flavour of cake
Probably one tier each of fruit, chocolate and lemon
Definitely one tier each of fruit, chocolate, and courgette and lemon cake (yes I know it sounds weird, but don't judge till you taste it - it's gorgeous!!)
16. Rate your own :money: MSEness out of 10
6-ish, but getting better
...maybe 6 1/2?
17. How long will you have been together on your wedding day?
6 years, 2 months and 23 days!
18. Favourite TV or Movie wedding?
Keira Knightley's character's in Love Actually
Now changed to Geraldine and Harry's in the last episode of Vicar of Dibley - more down to earth!
19. Piece of advice you would give anyone who is planning their wedding
Take full advantage of the talents of friends and family, and make sure your wedding reflects you two, not what everyone else thinks a wedding 'should' be.
Stuff what anyone who thinks they 'know' how weddings 'should be' says; your wedding is about the the couple and those they choose to include.
