Wasn't love at first sight, however I had this feeling that i had to get to know him more, I felt compelled almost. Strange feeling and hard to explain. He was/is so easy to talk to, have very similar personalities and quirks. Then it just seemed to all click into place and we fell madly in love, and here we are

At first we were very conscious of people judging us or commenting on how quickly we got together, but people that really know us agree we're a perfect match

Ahhh! Sounds like you're a great match. To make it clear I wasn't judging - I do believe in love at first sight for some people!

2. Wedding theme or colour scheme? Ivory and Hunter green with yellow roses (I love yellow roses and they hold a special meaning for me)

3. Thing you have splashed out most on? Other than the reception package it's a 50/50 split between our photographer or our wedding rings as we both went for platinum to match my engagement ring

4. Best bargain? My wedding dress - Centrepieces. Found some laterns in a local gift shop and as they were end of line she did me an AMAZING deal for the ones she had left

5. Stupidest thing you decided that you had to have (before getting engaged) and now don't care about? Nothing I can think of - We've been together a while so I think we were both on a similar page with how we wanted teh wedding to be

6. Venue? Whirlowbrook Hall in Sheffield, Gorgeous character building set in parkland close to where I live

7. Engagement ring? Simple Diamnond set in a platinum band chosen by my OH (It's called a mastercut simplicity for anyone really nosey!)

8. Describe your partner in 5 words... Perfectly balances me out!

9.First Dance song?Baby I love your way by Big Mountain(don't ask - long term standing joke) Our wedding band are going to put a nice twist to it though

10. Biggest panic moment so far? Bridesmaid dresses. My sister is one of my bridesmaids but she's tiny! (size 6 with size 3 feet) That and worrying my bridesmaids will look betterthan me in the photos

11.Biggest Bride/Groomzilla moment? Having a cake argument with my Mum. We knew what cake we wanted and that the design wouldn't travel as it would hav eto be assembled on site. Had to insist that we chose the cake maker as it's not simple and I don't think the woman she had in mind could have done it.

12. Worst fear about the wedding day? People not turning up for the evening do/ the best man or my mum getting !!!!ed and making a prat out of themselves

13. Number of guests? 72 (pretty much all family bar a couple of very close friends we grew up with. Family only would have still been 67!!!)

14. The one person who has helped you more than anyone during the planning? The Groom! He's been amazing, helpful and also let me have my creatiuve moments but hasn't let me get carried away. He's also come up with some stonking ideas for things!

15. Flavour of cake - not decided. Probably lemon sponge and a chocolate spnge (tier cake!)

16. Rate your own MSEness out of 10 - 6/10 We've handmade a few things, looked out for bargains etc but there are some things we decided it was worth spending the extra money on and we have overbudgeted on everything so it's nice to be able to afford them!

17. How long will you have been together on your wedding day? 7 years to the day!!

18. Favourite TV or Movie wedding? Don't think I have one tbh!

19. Piece of advice you would give anyone who is planning their wedding - Make it YOUR day! It might cause some issues with people around you at the time but it's a lot better than looking back and thinking " I wish we had/hadn't listened to xxxxxx cos I think our way would have ben nicer" It's about you two. Remember a wedding is not a marriage.
