Every girl dreams of the day she get’s married.... the princess dress, the romance..
But, the fuss along the way, which people forget to mention, is the emailing and calling people in your lunch break, hounding people to get back to you and the price of wedding magazines to get any hints and ideas.
Hopefully this blog will make a little easier for brides planning their big day. Everything I learn along the way will go on here so keep checking back.
My partner Gareth and I have been together for three years. We got engaged in Barbados and it was all very romantic. He took me for dinner on a beach table, which I thought was a bit romantic for him and roused my suspicions, and there were plenty of tears after he produced the ring over dessert.
I looked forward to planning the big day even going so far as buying some mags whilst still there. That enthusiasm wore off when I started to realise that all the things I liked were already booked a year in advance!
The point when I decided I needed to knuckle down to some planning was when my caterer said who is your DJ - ‘pass’, florist - ‘pass’, photographer - ‘pass.’ It was time to get my act together.
As it stands, I have a church venue and food. I had always wanted to get married at home after watching Steve Martin’s Father of the Bride but didn't think it was possible, so provisionally booked Knowsley Hall.
Not everyone has a J-lo from The Wedding Planner on hand to do it, so hopefully this blog will help....a little.
Mahoods have said we can have a marquee in the garden and so the saga continues.... watch this space.
