Well I realised there wasn't a thread for us August 2014 brides (only the main 2014 thread) so thought I would start one so we could all keep tabs on how we are getting on! I am getting married on the 30th August 2014 and so far have booked/made/bought:
-the church -the reception venue -the photographer -got the bridesmaids jewellery -got my shoes -started making invites -started making bridesmaids headpieces -made wine charms
So who else here is marrying August 2014 and how far are you in your planning? xxx
Got together 14.02.2008
Got engaged 31.12.2010
Will become a Mrs on 30.08.2014 xxxxxx

probably but we can space out decisions still at the minute so that doesn't matter. do you know where your honeymoon might be?
CommentAuthorSianyCaitlin
We were actually thinking of Lapland or somewhere like that. We both prefer the cold & we went to Gran Canaria last year, we're going to Paris this april so thought we'd go for something colder. It's not 100% yet, we might see somewhere we like more! What about you?

lol very unique cake then Siany I meant to be letting H2B plan the honeymoon but I think we are going to tour Italy because we can't decide where we want to go most and he really wants to go to Pompei.
I want to taste Mrs Richardson's cake... hungry
CommentAuthorvodkachick
i was gonna let H2B sort honeymoon but i have been looking and i quite like the idea of Cuba, prices out in about april for next year so gonna talk nicely to my boss to c if she will let me book it as soon as brochures out so that would be another thing on my list that i can tick off.
Cake lady booked ....2 layers one fruit one sponge (i dont like fruit cake) but dunno wot design etc yet
CommentAuthorKellyN29
I'm really thinking of not having fruit cake after hearing all the different flavours out there...can't decide.
I will have to tell H2B brochures come out soon :)

My MIL2B wants to fruit cake, but i dont like it lol.

Ahhh yes Mrs Richardson, I remember you saying now! How did the cake tasting go?
Kelly, I' told H2B last night that as I chose the venue (& put the deposit down before he'd even viewed it!) that it's only fair if he picks the honeymoon, so he's happy with that :) although there was some talk of going up mountains, so now I'm not so sure!! Lol.
We're not having fruit cake either, I hate it! Lol

I will be getting married in 2014 but not yet set a date or even started looking or booking anything. Getting a bit worried now as most of you have done so much more than what I have. Need to sit down with my partner and set a date to start I think. X
Can't wait for my happy ever after
CommentAuthorSianyCaitlin
The future Mrs K - eeek, you've done more than me & our date is 5 days before yours, raaaaa, I need to pull my finger out lol. Your wedding date is the day after my birthday :)
Charmainey - Don't panic, there's still plenty of time, set a date first then work out your budget & start from there :) xx

It was alright, she was a bit skeptical about marrying us as i have been married before, but she understands that this is the only time that i am going to be getting married again. So she agreed to the wedding.
I think i would have cried if they wouldnt let me have the wedding.

But i can be a control freak at times lol. my h2b seems so calm about it all and i just want to get it all sorted we have decided one thing though and that's the colour scheme but still not set a date. going dress shopping well looking and seeing what type i like more and hoping that will help things get a wiggle on so we can make a date and then who will be coming and stuff. xx

Wow lots of you are so organised! We got engaged in November and are planning on getting married in August 2014, im still knocking ideas about at the moment but by the looks of you guys i need to get my bum in gear and get some stuff done!! xx
CommentAuthorDanielleH98
We're getting married on the 2nd August and all we've sorted is the church and reception will hopefully get photographer and flowers sorted soon as I think they get booked up quite quickly. I keep thinking its ages away and have loads of time but in sure time will disappear! X
