Hi, I'm Laura, I got engaged on the 18th October 2013 and was originally wanting May 2015, ended up with 11th October 2014. I have all the main things booked, venue got my dress bridesmaid dresses groom and male party suits ordered, cake, registrar so it's now just a case of the exciting yet slightly easy to go over the top 'added touches' such as table decorations.
Theme for our wedding is beautiful yet economical if there's such a thing. We're not not having things but being careful of how much they cost and if we are able to save a few £££ then we will do so. I'm so fortunate that h2b uncle is a amazing photographer and will be helping us with this.
Eeeeeekkkk I still get giddy and say it whenever I can "I'm getting married"!!

CommentAuthorPhoenixRayne
Hi There, I have been engaged for a few years now to my best friend and one in a million. We have never been actively thinking about sorting out 'the big day' as we are happy getting on with life etc but now we want to sort out our wedding. Our main thought is that it will be for us and not for anyone else. We aren't interested in family and friends getting upset over who is and isn't invited or that the menu isn't to their tastes. In fact, we are interested in having a tiny wedding with only a few people with us (probably no more than I can count on my fingers).
I have never been a girly girl, never dreamed of weddings or white dresses so don't even know where to start! This could be interesting.... and a steep learning curve :-)
CommentAuthorNatalieD552
Hi there I'm Natalie me and my oh got engaged on New Year's Eve 2012 I started planning our special day and worked out costs ect:- I then discovered I was pg with baby no4 I am wondering if you fellow brides could give me some tips on saving for the big day with having children and not breaking the bank whilst planning I'm not looking to be completely tight on budget but will need to save where I can
Many thanks to all you lovely brides and brides 2 be Xx
CommentAuthorAmyC1969
Hi everyone, I'm Amy. I got engaged 29th March for mine and my fiancé's 4 year anniversary. We're starting to save and look at venues (Cooling Castle Barn and The Tudor Barn in Eltham). We're hoping to set a date for 2016 (if saving allows). Any guidance and tips will be greatly appreciated.
CommentAuthorAmyMichelle
Hello everyone, I'm Amy. On the 27th of this month it will be mine and my partners 10 year anniversary. We got engaged April 2013, on our 9 year anniversary. Originally we'd discussed planning the wedding for the 10 year mark unfortunately he's been very ill this year and needed a few operations (had the last one yesterday!) We're now hoping to get married April 2015, we'll be 27 years old, celebrating our 11th anniversary with our three children who will be aged 7, 5 and 4 then. I can't wait! We have a teeny tiny budget and an even smaller invite list but I'm still hoping to plan a beautiful, fun day!
(Ps- people often ask why we've waited so long, I've wanted to be married for years but more than that I wanted our children to be old enough to play a part and remember the day with us)
CommentAuthorWhovianbride
Welcome everyone, Amymichelle, I'm the same, I've waited for extra time mainly so our daughter will be old enough to remember it and take part in the day. My fmil offered to help pay towards the wedding for us to bring it forward but don't want to.

Hi :)
I joined not long after I got engaged (2/12/13) but have really just been following the posts on Facebook but now that we have a venue and a date, 24/09/2016!!!!, I figured it's time to start talking to other brides and getting some advice. Based just outside Glasgow and planning a loosely themed 1920s wedding so any help is welcome!

Hi all, my oh and I were engaged in January 14 while on holiday in Thailand. We have now set a date and just recently booked our venue - 09/07/2016! Very excited and planning on booking a photographer and evening entertainment ASAP too, to ensure that we get the ones we want and avoid any disappointment. Any advice and tips would be appreciated. I am currently considering making all of my own stationery, so again any pointers I would love to hear from you :-)

Hi all, I'm Ariana (otherwise known as Magpie, hence "MagpieBride"!)
I got engaged to my gorgeous boyfriend of 7 years on the 3rd of April, which was also my 27th birthday! We're planning for a Summer 2016, Medieval-themed, wedding at Ruthin Castle in Wales - fell in love with it when we visited on a short break back in February. So many details to work out, so glad I found this site! :)

We have set a date!! :) a year later than I had wanted but such is life eh? Plenty more time to plan & takes the pressure off. Deposit will be put on venue by end of month & then spend a year shopping around for bargains!

CommentAuthorMaryannM69
Hi everyone! I'm newly engaged-April fools day this year! I want to start planning straight away but not getting married til 2016. On a tight budget as I'd imagine most are but don't want to compromise on my wedding day so planning on doing a lot myself, I.e invites, table plans, bouquets, favours and even my cake(seeing as I'm a cake maker!). Can't wait to start booking things xx
CommentAuthorAlanaMcC
It's a lovely place down that end Fitch! I like your thinking having everything under one roof!
