I was married before, but my family in-law did everything. I got my dress and accessories, Bought BM material and designed the dresses and flower girls dresses. They were made abroad where we were getting married. Once I got there, I found they had booked everything from venue, food, guest list etc... I felt like I was also a guest because I didn't know what was happening next. That marriage turned out to be lope sided too!

Now i'm wiser and in in true love with a man with my own heart who understands me...I am planning every detail and involving my family and friends and now realise how much the planning means to a bride. i am trully enjoying everything and savouring preps. My family's input is the best as we are building the foundations of our marriage. For example, my brother is playing me into the church ceremony, my sister is singing etc
How is yours going?

Funny you say that - I've been married before and I really can't remember going into as much detail and thought about the organisation the first time as I am this time. Maybe because I'm paying for it all this time, I'm thinking more about what I do and don't want.....

Financially speaking Kev is paying for everything but I do buy the little things each month so he doesn't see the full cost of everything. I usually source the suppliers, ideas and products and then ask Kev what he thinks and which he likes. We then make the decision together of what we are having. Kev has sorted the cars and all the music out as he is great at picking out really suitable songs for us and I couldn't have done a better job myself. I do ask my MOH and MIL what they think of things etc as I want them to feel involved but they are really good and are not forcing their ideas down my throat. I have to admit though that the MIL does come up with things that I would have never have thought about which is why I love to ask her what she thinks.

Lee said to me as soon as we got engaged 'i like what you like....the only thing i want to have a say on is the food'
so he's let me crack on with it all............i dont decide anything for certain until i ask him though.....and can usually tell his honest opinion by the face he pulls lol !
My family are helping out with various bits and bobs and have said they are there when ever i need them, but they know how OCD i am about things and have let me get on with it lol

this is my 2nd wedding too and i am doing everything myself! no one has butted or anything 1st time round i was young and stupid! xx

I am pretty much organising our whole wedding myself, with input of course from H2B. We havent received offers of help from family yet, not that I expect help anyway. The way I see it is, it's our wedding therefore we pay for it. I have worked out a budget and a savings plan each month. It's going to be hard but worth it to have the day we really want

When i was planning our wedding for September i had hardly any input as i was doing as my grandparents wanted especially when it came to who was walking me down the aisle, the people who were invited or should i say not invited and when i showed them a picture of the cake i wanted well lets just say fireworks appeared!

Any whoo this time as i'm now planning my wedding again but for next year in june nobody apart from myself and hubby 2 b will be having any input as we aren't telling anybody we are still getting wed and most certainly will not be saying when it is :D xx
