We're actually going to do it!

[80anthea]

So after months of talking about it, he has told me in February we are going ring shopping and we've said that we will be married by the end of 2014 Between us in the past year w e have managed to save the money for it and I've just told my daughter who won't stop jumping round the room!!!!!!

Aiming for an August or October wedding in Virginia, going to actually start planning this weekend over skype. Eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk

Planning a transatlantic wedding is going to be an interesting experience to say the least.

Thanks everyone, it's always been a talking point but it feels like we've moved past talking into actual action stage. The main planning is going to be the plane tickets for me and my daughter, if anyone else wants to come they can sort themselves out, as we'll have a party back here in the uk when we are finally together here.

Then the paperwork side of things as well is a little daunting but I'm sure with a bit of time and effort we'll get there.

As for the actual day and ceremony, it's going to be very small, his mom has said she'll help as much as she can and kind of act as my stateside planner. Which is good because as many great characteristics my SO has, organisational skills are very low down on his list!

Yey! Congratulations!

Congrats! We'll definitely need pictures once you get the ring and, of course, of the wedding!

[80anthea]

Don't worry there will be lots of photos

I am actually quite surprised at myself just how excited I am by this, I'm really not a huge advocate of marriage and having had one disastrous experience hasn't helped but I genuinely feel like a teenager again..... I've even found myself looking at wedding boards on pinterest

Anyway. ... the important stuff whilst he's at work. I've decided I don't want a white or ivory dress, the colour really doesn't suit me plus I want something different. I'm thinking blue/turquoise. ...


this is my current favourite.

[Ejoriah]

That is a beautiful dress! And congratulations also
