I know - we're the only 2 in October so far...we decided on our date because it will be our 10 year anniversery of getting together! I'm so excited even though it's 15 months away LOL!

We'll have to keep catching up to see how far we have got along - What have you got started so far?

Thats how we decided on our date too,it has been our unofficial anniversary for years and we thought it would be perfect to keep the same date as our anniversary after we were married too.So romantic to be married on the 18th anniversary of the day we met.Still over a year to go and still so excited I can hardly concentrate on anything else.

Hello!

I am getting married 12th September 2009 in Warwickshire!

Not done too much yet, booked church, reception, photographer and have just found my cakemaker.

I am currently working on videographer (how expensive :eek:) and a band or DJ. Have no idea what to do about cars as I haven't seen any I like!

Ahargh! It be mostly why we chose the date, me hearties!!!

*giggle*

Seriously flirting with a Pirate themed wedding vs our current late 40's/50's inspired hopefully somewhat chic do. We can't work out what we want more (read: Dave thinks that we might look back and regret a Pirate Wedding and I can't quite make up my mind!!!)

Recieved an email of the person who's making my dress, so I'm not as worried now, although I didn't really understand it as I guess the guy doesn't speak much English, guess it serves me right for trying to get a bargain on a dress from Hong Kong lol

How's everyone's planning coming along?

hello!!!
My date is 14th march 2009 in warwickshire, getting extremely excited now as going dress shopping for first time on saturday in coventry and leamington! I am also getting slightly disturbed at the quotes coming through for photographers and wedding cars - am beginning to think i missed a trick in choosing a career path, photographers must make a packet!!!

Anyone in the warks area got advice on good services or bargains etc they have found? will post back after the weekend if i find any good bargains whilst dress shopping

I think it's romantic too! I think my mum was made up because we still wanted to get married after 10 years LOL

Been and visited another venue today, and am seeing one more on Sat...getting much better at saying I don't want the full wedding package and places seem to be quite flexible because we're getting married on a Friday in October.

I hope I can make a decision this weekend....finding an affordable venue is keeping me awake at night! I agree, shelovestobuystuff, I can't think about anything else at the momment!
