Well me and my partner had provisionally booked our wedding for 21st September 2012 but after long discussions we have decided to change the date to 3rd March 2013 exactly 5 years to the date we first met. The reason we have changed is because i am due to qualify as a mental health nurse in September this year and are worried incase i do not get a job straight away due to the NHS changes. So we think we are doing the right thing , this way it will enable us to have a few extra things we would like if i do get a job and if i don't we will have what we have already planned. I am feeling slightly disappointed but hey ho things will turn out for the best i know.

Not an easy decision to come to, but personally, I think it's the right one. My H2B was going to propose when I took him to Madrid for his b'day last April, but we never got there cos of the Iceland Volcano. He was out of work at the time and money was really right. So he waited until we went to Amsterdam for 'yay, you got a new job' celebration and popped the question then. I was so pleased that he didn't propose whilst out of work. There was no way I would have felt comfortable planning a wedding and certainly spending any money towards it without knowing that he had a job. I can totally understand how you feel, but I think it is the right decision - and it gives you longer to save up too! x
Vegas baby!

Don't get me wrong my partner works and has a decent wage but it wouldn't feel right him paying for everything (we won't be having a contrabution from my family, long story). I am sure we have made the right decision too but still feel disappointed i have to wait an extra 5 months.

dont be disappointed about waiting that extra time. i originally should be getting wed 30 april 11 (exactly 10yrs to the day we met) but after h2b had change in financial circumstances we had to put our wedding back to oct and there was 12 months where we truly thought we would have to cancel completely, but in jan this year after long talks we decided to downsize, scrap civil ceremony and use register office and go ahead with a more intimate wedding day but full reception in the evening. i am not disappointed with these decisions at all. i am just completely ecstatic that i will be marrying the guy i love as much as i love my grandad and thats looaaaaddddss xx

That is the other decision we could have made, downsize. But me and andy have both had 2 really bad relationships and when we met each other we thought all my christmas' came at once and still do nearly 3 years later we are soul mates :).
Yeah it is soo much better to just put it back a few months, it isnt that bad i booked mine 24months in advance and it gave me more chance to look at different things and really look at everything x

I think it is a good choice. Plus if you dont get a job in a hospital in mental health. I know there are care homes shouting out for people as i am doing it and we need loads of staff
Cant wait to to marry Martyn
Wishes the wedding would come faster
XxX

ive learnt after what we have been through especially in the beginning of relationship and the last 12 months that i dont care whose there or not or how much it costs, i just want to make that lifelong commitment to my best friend, soul mate, lover and in-house comedian xx

That's not a bad decision at all hun, it's a sensible decision - imagine how stressed you'd be if you didnt get a job right away... better to give yourself time. It's a cliche but true - you're going to be together the rest of your lives so a few extra months of waiting to marry is nothing! x
