Hey lovelies,

After being engaged for so long now & seeing people get engaged & married during the time of my engagement, it was starting to feel like we’d never get married but I don’t want to spend the rest of our days just being Richards fiancée, I want to be his wife.

They say planning a wedding is one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do in your life, along with buying a house……lets see??

Although this will be my second time, the 1st time round, I was very young & my tastes & priorities have changed somewhat since then. I’ll also be able to wear exactly the dress I want to, the 1st time, the dress I wore, although, amazing & the best one in the shop, once it was found, I wasn’t allowed to look at any others because my mother insisted that was the one I was wearing.

Me & Richard have decided that we need to start actually planning our wedding, we’ve been engaged for over 6 years now & I want to marry him, now more than ever, life’s to short to not do what you truly want to do.

Here’s the things Me & Richard have decided on so far

We’ve decided that we want to get married in a church.
We want a Spring or Summer wedding because although my favourite season is Autumn or (for weddings especially) Winter (I mean……imagine a christmas wedding, somewhere with an open fire, all the christmas decorations up, a turkey dinner for the sit down meal & a delicious hog roast for the evening food???), I want the kiddlies to have something to do (to most adults, weddings are a time to socialise with family & friends you may not have seen for a while, have a well deserved drink or 2, relax & soak up the romantic atmosphere but for most children, they’re boring), so we need warmer weather for the outside because we love the idea of outdoor games.
We know we need to find somewhere for the reception that isn’t to far away from our church, that has usable outdoor space (that they’re not to precious about) & it has to either come with accommodation or have some very close by.
I kind of know what type of dress I want, it’s completely different to what I thought I’d want when we 1st got engaged but I won’t be sharing that you until after the wedding (sorry).

During the planning process, our plans could change at the drop of a hat due to personal reasons (which I may go into at a later date) & could cause us to bring forward the date of the wedding rapidly.
