CONGRATULATIONS LM
HOW ARE YOUR WEDDING CAKES?
Thanks everyone!
Things have moved at an amazing speed in the week and two days (and counting!) since we got engaged. On Saturday I was having a girlie day in Edinburgh with Villemo, and was planning to just have a look in some bridal shops. Just to start getting an idea of what options there are for dresses. I didn't even have money to actually buy one, but........ One shop had an amazing sale on...... And I tried on some dresses....... And accidentally bought one! Well, how could I not, with nearly £900 discount????
Then on Sunday, my gorgeous fiance and I were taking his mum to see a lovely Edwardian mansion house, with gorgeous gardens etc, and then accidentally happened to make a provisional booking for next year.....
And next week I have an appointment to see a lady at a hotel to look at a function suite and discuss catering...... At this rate I'll have organised everything for my wedding a year in advance!
OOOH I say... fab news!
I hope you'll both be very happy!!!

I tried to find an appropriate Norwegian phrase on line, but the only thing I could find was:
"Denne herren vil betale for alt"
But just in case that isn't appropriate, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!!!
Really? Well, actually this isn't surprising, with everything there is to organise and plan! Never quite realised how much planning and preparation goes into a wedding until I started on the whole circus myself. And I've discovered already that the best way to upset people, is to get married. I wonder how many people I'll upset or offend (either because they won't be invited to the wedding as it'll be a very small do, or because I don't agree with their ideas or advice.......) in the coming year.
So, if "This gentleman will pay for everything", does that mean I'll send the bill to you? Hooray!
So when's your big day? And what has been the biggest problem for you in the wedding preparations?
April next year. And so far the biggest problem has been getting the works on the flat done and out of the way
Actually, there haven't been any major problems for us. I joined a wedding forum a while back, and some of the problems that happen are quite beyond belief – things like someone’s mother saying she won’t come to the wedding if the bride won’t have particular nieces and nephews as flower girls/pageboys, or parents completely taking over the guest list it invite all their friends so the bride and groom hardly know anyone at their own wedding…
Only tip so far – arrange everything yourselves, and pay for everything yourselves! Seems to be working for us so far. Happy planning
congrats hun
good luck

I got engaged beginning of June this year and the wedding's set for October 24th this year.
You'll read lots about how long you need to get thing organised but it can be done sooner.
Probably the biggest "OMG - you've only got 3 months" feedback was from dress shops. Still (as you've realised ) that's not the case if you buy a sample or, in some cases, there's dresses that can arrive quicker (which is what I've done)
I think that if you want a certain date, a certain venue, a certain dress etc it is harder to organise really quickly, but if you're more flexible (which can help with costs as well) than you'll be fine
At the end of the day you have to think about why you're getting married - is it for the pomp and circumstance or is it about the person you're saying your vows to...
Exactly!! I think too many people lose sight of why they're actually getting married, and only focus on the wedding day. Of course I want it to be special, but at the end of the day it's not about the guests and the party, but about US and our love and our commitment and future together!
