I'm finally planning my wedding! journal - Page 2

I honestly wish we had the option of doing that, but because we're having such a late ceremony we just decided to go all out and invite everyone to both parts. It was 116 people at the last count

Hope it goes well talking to the family x

Oh wow! I had around 150-160 on the list if we invited everyone to the wedding

Why are you having a late ceremony?

EmmyReece · Mar 21st, 2012, 11:36 AM

We've got people who will be doing 3 hour journeys to get to us, so wanted to give them plenty of time. Plus my mum is disabled so she needs to be given enough time to do her afternoon meds etc

Yikes 150 - 160, I thought I had a lot at 116

Oh I see

It's really nice of you to think of others

Yeah, I really didn't think it would add up to so many but Mark has a big family and his co-workers are family too etc... Mine is so tiny compared to his!

It's shocking when you get started adding up everyone

Do you have an idea of when you'd like to get married if the date is available?

Stalking

I love the pink/green/country/lace theme... it's exactly what I'm going for! I'm having pale green bridesmaid dresses/men's ties, pink hydrangeas for our flowers and I think I will probably end up going for a lace wedding dress.

We're having a small ceremony and wedding breakfast followed by a bigger evening reception. We'll have about 35 - 40 during the day and then 80 in the evening.

I was thinking the May long weekend, as people would have time off work and could make it a trip if they wanted, but I was also told a lot of people would probably not come as they would have other plans

So I am not 100% sure yet. I don't want June, too many birthdays and anniversaries, July is my bday and Marks sisters wedding anniversary, August is too hot here for an outside wedding and september is more anniversaries and birthdays lol....

That sounds nice, like a brunch thing? What time is your wedding ceremony?

We haven't booked it yet, but the ceremony will probably be at 1 with the reception at 3/4... I don't know why but in the UK people call it in a wedding breakfast, it's basically a 3 course meal after the ceremony.

Helllllllo! Feels like forever since we last 'spoke' so definitely stalking you! Im loving the ideas so far! Were having family and close friends to ceremony and everyone to the reception x
