    hello everyone
    my name is pinkado, and, im engaged, i am super excited, but as most girls have already planned there wedding a million times before there asked, i never did, i always though i would never get married, so i never planned, yet here i am, and we have a date to!!, a year from now and two months, so 445 days to go, and im already lost on what needs doing.
    but, i have lots of time to learn, so, well...here goes...
    got the date, now i think the next move is location, so then i send out cards, and i just wanna hide under my bed now, lol
    i am on a small budget, and i want it to be wonderful, like a fairy tale, so, heres hoping i can do it
    im over the moon excited, :)
    so hi everyone, expect alot of questions in the comming months im sure, lol

    Welcome, I also had never had an idea about what my Wedding would be like so can relate to that and the questions that everyone asks lol!!

    I was even asked if I would have a white dress and if so what shade of white!! That was enough to confuse me but now its all a bit easier so enjoy your engagement and things will fall into place especially now you have registered at UK Bride.

    I never planned a single thing before being asked, as like you, never really put any thought into getting married!!

    start with your guest list, then it will be easier for you to find a suitable venue -- that's definatley the place to start!

    There's a thread knocking about called the brides chexklist, I shall try to find it and bump it, if it hasn't been done so already, the only problem with that thread is it's got an unbelievable amount of information in and it looks very daunting lol. It may also help to have a look at one or two of the wedding diary threads, most of us have one, it helps to keep our planning organised :)

    Congrats and happy planning :)

    Planning your wedding is such a magical time; you're going to love it. Get the venues sorted first, and you'll probably need a rough idea of your ideal number of guests for that. Then you can do the things that book up in advance, like car and entertainment. I'm finding that big things first is best, then the details.

    Congratulations on your engagement.
    Dont be scared, wedding planning is great (although slightly stressful at times)
    Start with a budget in mind too, that will shape quite a bit. Think of what kind of wedding you want (big/small, relaxed/formal)
    Guest list, subject to change at the early stages and don't feel obliged to invite people because Aunt Jo's neighbours brother once said Hi to you.
    I wish you the very best for your planning, you certainly can't do better than UKBride for advice support and pure bride chat xx

    Iv been engaged just over a month now and we have may 31st as our date,
    Im really enjoying it so far- dates are sorted and the service- and lots of little bits like cutlery for buffet and personalised napkins ( ive lost the plot i think!)

    Main concern will be the last few months i think and fitting it all together! :)

    Enjoy it- youll be fine x

    Welcome to the site and congratulations. I'm exactly the same as you so don't worry. I never thought i would find the man of my dreams and get married so i never even looked at a wedding dress before. We got engaged in March of this year and have just put a deposit down on a venue for 5th July next year giving us 14 months too.

    We have a small budget and making alot of things ourself. This site is amazing for getting ideas and hints and tips so anything you think of search it on here. I am finding things very daunting and thinking i don't have alot of time to sort things out but it will slowly come together i hope.

    Good luck hun and remember anything is possible when you look in the right places.

    Gem xx
