My wedding Journal - finally, photos pg 35

[Scamp]

Hey,
I'm going to do a wedding journal, keep track of everything!

A little about us.
I'm Vici, 21 and my o.h is Mike 33. We've been together for ages (is it really bad that I can't remember how long?! I'll ask Mike later, he'll know ) We live in Cheshire and have been ttc for a year and 11 months so far with one loss. We have 3 dogs called Scamp, Tash and Princess.
I've never really been fussed about getting married before Mike but I love him so so much and I want to be his wife! (So cheesy! )
I've been saying for a few months that I want to get married so last night he said we can go get a ring today. I'm meeting him outside work at 3.
Not exactly the most romantic way but I'm not bothered, never been one for mushy stuff anyway
Hopefully the wedding will be December some time. Gives us just under a year to plan

I will post a picture of the ring later

Not sure what else to say. I will add more another time probably

Mind if I stalk?!

 

[Scamp]

Thank you
Of course you can hun

Have you seen my 12 month plan? Do you think I've missed anything?

[twiggy56]

erm...all the official stuff?

Like meeting with an available registrar, humanist, minister whatever...?

Also giving notice of your marriage!

 

[Scamp]

The registrar comes with the venue I think, we just need to ring before we book to check someone is available on the day, but I don't know what all the other stuff is Hehe might have to look into it, thanks x
