    Hi everyone,
    I got engaged Christmas day to my partner of 3 years, we have no children together but both have a daughter each from a previous relationship! Who were both incredibly excited when Rob popped the question Christmas day (Hes been telling me the past 3 years he will never get married again after his 1st one went so sour! And i truly believed him!), He asked my Dad and granddad in the summer My granddad sadly lost his battle with cancer 6 weeks before Rob asked me unfortunately ='( x
    I've Obviously never been married before I've never even been part of organizing a wedding Before i have 20 months until my wedding! and i have NO IDEA what the hell i'm doing! So my Little sister recommended i join this site... So here i am....
    Oh and i also have 8 days to arrange an engagement party!!!!


    The day dresms come true....

    Hi Sandra!

    Welcome & congratulations !! Feel free to add me as a friend. How lovely that he asked first, my H2B asked my mum before asking me as I don't see my dad that much! Have you started any planning yet?? You'll find lots of useful tips etc on here.

    Good luck with the engagement party !! xx

    Welcome! My h2b asked my mam and dad first, which was lovely.

    Congratulations! How lovely to do it on Christmas day too.

    I was in the same boat, my h2b said he'd never get married - he's always been a lifelong bachelor and, at 37 (when we got together) had only been in one serious relationship, so I always thought it'd never happen. I'd resigned myself to the fact and would have wanted to spend the rest of my life with him regardless, and now, seven years down the line he's proposed and is loving planning our wedding!

    It's a fab site, and the ladies on the forum are lovely, happy planning!

    Xx

    Hi Sandra I too got engaged on Christmas Day. My h2b & I will be together 5 years in may, we have no children together but he has 3 from his 1st marriage. Feel free to add me as a friend too. What date have you decided on? I've nothing booked yet but I'm thinking January 2015 (cheaper in jan). Your really lucky to have a free reception! Hope you enjoy your planning. I've priced loads but booked nothing yet but cannot wait to start booking!!

    Thankyou Laura took him 6months of overtime and sneaking about to get it! And i almost caught him as i was Christmas shopping with my nan and bumped into him about 5 mins after he'd picked it up from jewelers!! Few mins sooner the surprise would of been ruined!
