Here was thinking I had all the time in the world till my wedding on 23/08/08 and now you've said 'only 5 months' and 'you havent got long' and i've started to panic! Better get cracking this weekend I think!

My date is 11th August and have finally started pulling things together in the last couple of weeks despite having booked the venue in September.

There are lots of things you can't do too early anyway and you'll have less time to be indecisive about things. It would be really frightening to add up all the time I've spent looking for the perfect whatever and worrying about if its ok.

I'm happy to help as well.

I've been married before and experience does come in useful. I planned everything last time in 6 months. I've had nearly a year this time but haven't been doing things constantly have been going in fits and bursts!

I've picked up loads from here and we are all happy to help. If there's anything you want to know just ask. I'm sure someone can come up with something.

Wow, you and I are getting married on the same day! Congrats to both of us LOL.

Your photographer sounds like a great deal.

I love the idea of the Zimbabwean food. My brother had a western main meal and then an Indian buffet at night, it went down a storm.
