Would love a videographer but just can't afford it :( Going to ask certain people to video key moments for us like walking down the aisle, cutting the cake, first dance so least we will have a few mini ones :)x

I'm still not sure. OH isn't sure either... I don't know if we should pay that much money for something neither of us is sure about?! Like you Baker2Be I'd thought about asking people to film certain parts of the day like walking down the aisle, the speeches, the first dance... It's such a lot of money I just don't know if it's necessary. Particularly because we'd like to have a '2nd honeymoon' late 2016/early 2017 and that money would be a big help towards that.

Got a lot of thinking to do. I change my mind like the weather!!!!

I'm in the same position as you Flossie. We went from definite no now I'm like .. Should we? But oh made a good point that we need to pay the church more to have the wedding filmed too so it isn't just the cost of the videographer

It's definitely a no just for a 3 minute video lol, you will have photos you can share on fb and you will be £700 better off, that £700 could be half of the cost of a second honeymoon! xx

That's true. £700 is a lot for that much recording

Ours is an extra £50 if we want the highlights video. Not sure if we will get it or not. Our videographer can play images on earlier in the day on a big screen during the wedding breakfast

Sorry Becci! lol xx

I hate making decisions :( don't want to regret it but don't want to buy it and not watch it!

You wouldn't want me to Flossie haha! I've known vibration plates more steady than my hands lol!

Haha!

I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for this Nikki girl - she may never return to ukbride after her thread! Everyone's comments are absolutely spot on though

I am too insecure to have a video made. Would just cringe watching myself!!!!

Yeah I feel sorry for him too xx

I mean i can be hard work, not going to deny that in the slightest but a proposal is a proposal at the end of the day.. He didn't want to get married but has done everything for her. Sad really - maybes everyone's comments will soften her a bit

They're a really nice idea :)

They're nice - haven't even thought about presents!!!!

It's difficult because that's just her feelings but still to have not got over it 2 years down the line seems a bit excessive and the fact that he didn't want to get married but did it for her AND spent an absolute whack on the ring goes to show how much he cares. I get the impression her relationship is a points scoring one with her friends and she just wants others to be jealous of her which I guess a lot of people are like that!

My oh was going to do a stereotypical Christmas / new year engagement but saw everyone posting their engagements on the book and thankfully decided against it but I wouldn't have thought any less of the proposal because of the time / place etc and without being nasty I can't see any £2500 ring being that awful!

I haven't either Lindsey but these ladies super organisation keeps making me think I need to kick start my thinking. Plus the fact that two weeks ago there was a year til our wedding now there's two weeks until there's only 11 months til the wedding and we still need to design and make all the invites, order of service, favours, decide how we're decorating the centrepieces, sort hair and makeup and flowers, suits etc

It's the stationery but that's got me on edge the suits are easy and the flowers should be easy enough, we've chosen the bridesmaid dresses just need to order them

We've not got much left to do tbh, I want most things done by christmas so in the new year we just have suppliers and honeymoon to worry about paying off, and hopefully everything should be relatively stress-free!!

I have designed our invitations but they will be amended slightly I'm sure, so need to sit down and finalise them and then actually print and make them and send them out. I want to also make signs to put around the venue such as one for the photo booth, one asking to sign our guest book, one asking guests to take pics etc. We need to do our table plan but we know what we are going to do, so it's just a case of buying the bits. Oh also need to make the table numbers but that's a 30 minute job.

We have a few gifts left to buy for parents, best man, bridesmaids & FG and a few bits for the groomsmens outfits such as ties, tie clips and belts.. they're buying their own shirts and shoes but OH is going to choose which ones he'd like. OH also needs shoes and a shirt and accessories. I need to get my accessories such as hair comb and jewellery.

We had a sit down the other night and spoke and vows/music choices etc. Nothing is cemented yet but we have an idea... just need to finalise all those bits.

Still need to get my FG's dress but waiting until nearer the time for obvious reasons... and alterations will need to be made to some of the BM dresses, but again waiting until nearer the time again for obvious reasons!

I think that's pretty much most of it!!!

We still need to get rings, grooms men suits, fg dress/shoes, chair covers, sort food for marquee.

I'm making our table numbers, and table plan

And finish gifts for everyone

Ah I need to buy our sweeties for our favour jars too but won't do that until a few weeks before the wedding so they are still fresh. I am excited about making the favours up, will be exciting being so close to the wedding!

Need to sort out a second hen back home too xx

I'm leaving my hen to the bms and my mum because I can't decide what I want so a surprise is the next best thing. Think me and the bridal party are going on holiday about a month before the wedding to get natural tans and chill out I just need to pluck up the courage to ask my boss for another week off 7 weeks before our 3 week honeymoon .. And after being off on the sick for 4 weeks I darent ask!

The fact our weddings are practically the last ones in this thread Sarah is either going to motivate us to be super organised or depress us because we'll have everything done super early because we'll be so eager to get cracking with the rest of the ladies leaving us nothing to get excited over closer to the day lol

See I want to be super organised but mum keeps telling me I don't need to do things yet. Grr. Might just go crazy and order the gifts anyway.. If rather spend a little and often than all at the same time .. Then I want to buy my favours jars but that would be far to in advance.

Maybe once we've designed the invites and started making them I'll feel a bit better!

Since mums still admant on going to the marathon on Sunday I might drag oh to a wedding fair at the local castle to see if there's any florists there to get rough Prices. I just want to plan :( lol

Go for it Becci, I genuinely do not think it is too early for you at all to start getting bits and bobs sorted! xx
