And now the hard work starts

We've done it, we've booked a venue and date, 30 August 2009. I know it is a long way off, but now we have start the hard work:

Guest lists, photographers, stationery, dresses, rings, managing the step families...

I am looking forward to the cake tasting sessions though!

Both our families were over the moon when we told them the dates, especially the Grand parents.

I have even chosen my best man, he kept on asking if I was joking and seemed genuinely excited!

We have decided to keep to a tight budget, that will allow us to put as much money into travelling for the honeymoon. Although, how many people can say they will be married by a film star!

We have a meeting with a photographer that we liked the look of at the Haynes Motor Museum Wedding Fayre a couple of months ago - she even hand delivered her portfolio to us on CD!

I'll let you know how it goes later...

Getting started

This is the first post of a - hopefully - long blogging future.

Yippee!

I'll give you a potted history of me, I was born in the South East of England, and went to Uni in Glamorgan, Wales, to study Humanities. I then went travelling around the world on the QE2, hence the picture, going to many wonderful places and many wonderful parties!

I have now settled in leafy Somerset and, following stints at South Somerset District Council and Watershed PR, started wirking in the Marketing team at Somerset College in Taunton.

I am engaged to a wonderful Somerset lass and we plan to get married in 2010, we picked the year as it would be easy to remember the anniversaries...


So there it is, you know all about me. I will keep you updated on the wedding plans, and any other thoughts that randomly pop into my head. But I do ask for your patience as I am fairly new to this blogging malarky!
