[polo_princess]

Ok well Aug/Sept/Oct .. technically August isnt Autumn, but is close enough!!

Hands up who's getting married then? How are the plans coming along? Share a little bit about your wedding and your idea's

Thought it'd be nice for people who are getting married roughly around the same time to compare notes, share idea's and plans

And us

10th October 2010 in Brighton

Hired the entire boutique hotel for exclusive use for all our guests to stay and chill out.

4pm Ceremony followed by champagne and canapes for 1 hour and then to the Michelin Star restaurant for a 5 course meal.

Evening will be a cocktail party type event with no more guests arriving so just 40 throughout. No disco, band etc, just us milling and chatting and an awesome iPod play list that Boyo is working on now! And a little surprise that no one knows about

We wanted a really special, laid back, informal "us" day for our nearest and dearest so kept it small and spent the money on making it something to remember.

Mini-moon to Cornwall as Missy will only be around 10-12 weeks old so 10 days at an amazing place there and the Honeymoon will be the following February.

My Dress is all sorted, as are my accessories...just need to make sure it still fits now!

Boyos suit has been made and is ready and at home and is awesome.

We both need shoes, he also needs his shirt and tie.

Invites ordered and being made now, favours sorted, cakes sorted, Choccywoccydoodah won out in the end, menu is being left to the awesome chef at the venue who we are meeting with at the end of the month, flowers are sorted, rings are sorted, hair and make up trial booked and photographer sorted.

Keeping everything simple and stress free and as un-fussy as possible as that is what we like!

So yeah, we are pretty much there
