ok so I'm not the only one with a 3 year engagement did time fly for u??? I mean 2015 feels like ages away!!! arghhh

stalking your plans look great so organized i havent even realy made a list of things to do just thinking of things as i go lol x

Thank you ladies! Comotion89 - time has gone really quickly actually, I can't believe I've been engaged for 1.5 years! I'm glad we've had a long engagement though cause it's given us a long time to think about what we want for our wedding. It's taken us 1.5 years to decide on our venue!

There's not been much progress recently on the wedding front. We've been busy getting ready for the arrival of our baby boy who is due in 4 days!! I have emailed our ceremony venue and local registrar though to find out how to book, once they reply I will be paying deposits and setting the date!

We've had a look around at some wedding rings and now have a rough idea of what we want. These are the 2 we like at the minute...

My engagement ring has diamonds channel set in the shoulders so I would like a wedding ring with channel set diamonds, like this one:

Or this one:

I'll try them both one once I've had my baby and my fingers aren't so swollen!

Craig wants a 5mm palladium ring and he really likes the "brushed affect" rings. He tried this one on in the shop and really liked it:

I've not posted for a few weeks cause I've been busy having a baby!!

Jacob was born on the 2nd May 2012 (9 days late!) weighing a whopping 10lb 6oz! The birth didn't really go to plan and I ended up going to theatre for forceps and an episiostomy as Jacob's head and then shoulders got stuck! It was totally worth it though, I love him so much, being a Mummy is the most amazing thing! I'll post some photos for you all to see another day.

More good news - we have set a date! I've paid the deposit and booked the registrar for the 7th September 2013! I just need to phone the ceremony and reception venues to confirm our bookings and pay the deposits. I might try and do that tomorrow
