2015 bride-to-be chat thread

Theme wise I think we are goit to have a vintagey fun fair theme. Originally we had found a perfect venue and they said yes to hiring a carousel, but their website says no further bookings atm due to unforeseen circumstances.

Also my mom bought me a wedding dress over the holidays! ! I was at home in Canada for Christmas and we went dress shopping for a bit of fun and I fell in love. I may not be home again until after we are married so I think my mom really wanted to go shoppt together/buy my dress. I need to loose a stone to fit into it perfectly which is totally doable!

talked to my mom yesterday, about putting the deposit on the venue. My parents are going to make the deposit so OH and I are not stuck paying interest on our credit card for a year. YAY! Thanks mom and dad!

So a few things to mark off our list: Finalizing date, booking reception site (will more than likely do ceremony onsite also), and put down deposit to hold reception site!! WOOHOOO.

Its amazing out much more real it feels now that we have a place to have the wedding, even OH said 'its more real now that we have booked"

hmmm...Aiden, I'm not sure what about using chocolate names like: Hershey, Snickers, milky way...or candy names like again Hershey, gobstoppers, etc....

A carnival theme is cool, what colors are you going to use with that? Imagine all the fun names you can come up with for the tables too!

Oooooo exciting! Not sure if I can persuade OH to go to one, do you have to pay to get in? X

 

[Bartness]

There is one on Feb. 9th where I live. I wont be going though, as OH refuses to go to any of them, and my mom is working that weekend (I also have to work, but would have taken half a day off to go). Im a bit bummed but oh well.

Holy crap! That is one AMAZING venue! seriously, jealous here!

Nothing wrong with having your wedding on a weekday! OH and I booked ours for Friday June 26, 2015...we didn't even check on availability of Saturdays we wanted a Friday

 

[Bartness]

Venue is officially booked for June 26th, 2015!!!!!

we got free chair covers added on too (thanks to my parents neighbors!)

And they have up lighting and its fairly cheap, so we will be booking that here soon too!

 

[maryp0ppins]

Hi all! :wave: We're getting married on March 15th, 2015! We planned for Oct. 2014 but OH lost his job then we found out we were having twins! So needless to say we didn't have the money to save for our wedding since we needed it elsewhere. It's also our 4 year anniversary so we get to keep our anniversary!

 

[Marima]

Hey girls. I'll join you. I got proposed 22.07.14 and we think that the big day will be in July 2015. So now I get to start planning the whole thing

Hi :wave:

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

How's everyones plans going? 2014 is going so fast. Will soon be our year

 

[Marima]

We just started planning but for sure I know the church, where cerermony will be held. I already have some ideas about my dress. At first I thought of letting my mom sew a dress for me but now I think that the same dress I want, is for sale in AliExpress and has such a good price, that at first I try ordering from there. And if that doesn't succeed, then I can let my mom sew me that dress.
At the moment we're trying to get the guest list settled. Most arguable about that is children - I really don't want them in my wedding. I want to enjoy my ceremony, not to listen babies crying. And I want my friends and relatives to enjoy the party and dance, not to deal with their children. My OH thinks the same but he fears the most that there will be a lot of relatives offenced. I really don't care about it because after all it's our wedding day but have to calm him down somehow.
So how have you planned your wedding? Are children welcomed and if not then how do you plan on annoucing that?
