The invitations to the day do got posted last week and we recieved our first acceptance card from Donna, Bill and Spencer! Yeay! Since then we have recieved a few more, its so exciting to go home on a night and see what the postman has brought us! The evening invitations will be sent out in a few weeks!
We went to a lovely little jewellers in Burton on Saturday too and the lady in there was very helpfull. We have to go back in a few months (apparently we are too eager!).

With so much happening lately, I thought I better pop on here and let you all know about it.
Well the countdown has well and truely begun with less than four months to go now. The boys and girls outfits have been ordered, the music has been organised and the invites for the day have been sent out. Sally and I had a great day on Saturday doing all things weddingy while the boys occupied themselves. We discussed everything and managed to get a lot organised. We have a few dates coming up for the girls to have a dress fitting too.
We have finally booked our honeymoon and we are both very much looking forward to it. We are spending a week in Whinfell Forest Centre Parks and then a week in a luxury 5 star cottage in Lancashire. Also this Saturday we are off to go look at wedding rings, how exciting!
I will try and update with more news now things are happening more. Speak to you all soon, lots of love.

Photographer
I know its been a while since the last post but to be honest not a lot happened for a while! Well, my Wedding Co-ordinator (Sally) and I kicked off the wedding plans the other week. We arranged to see a few photographers and some of their work was beautiful, and after discussing it we have settled on the one we want and paid our deposit!
Our disco has also been booked, we just need to come up with some really good tunes now, any suggestions welcome, just leave me a comment!
Next month we have plans to go see the florists and some dress shopping. I know, you thought I said I found the one, well, now I'm not so sure! So we are off to try a load on and have some fun!
Nothing else to report for now, will have to get some save the date cards done and posted out, but that will come in time!
Lots of love,
Michelle & Ben

I found the one!
Well I have gone and done it, found the dress I am having. Well I say dress, we can't afford the whole dress so we will be buying the corset and then my lovely mum will be making me a skirt to match! I'm so excited. A hand made, one off, specially designed and made for me corset from Corset Couture in Manchester, look at their website here.
And in the mean time look what my clever friend Trish did with this blog. It looks so much prettier than my attempt! Thank you so much Trish!
OK so the next thing on our list of things to do is to book the photographer and I think we might have found one. Need to meet up with him at some point and see.
Speak soon!
Love

Venue is booked!
Sorry its been a while, we kind of got busy with other stuff.
Well, we have done it, me and Sally went to look at a couple of places and we found the place. The plans have all changed since my last post. Whitby would have been lovely but it would have taken too much organising, lots of venues and transport to arrage and it just seemed too much.
So we decided to get married in Burton upon Trent about 5 minutes from where we live. It is a beautiful building, really grand and the rooms are just gorgeous. Its Ramada Jarvis Newton Park if you want to google it and have a nosey! Also the date has been confirmed as 10th October 2009, so put it in your diary!
Anyway, as you can see I still haven't figured out how to make this blog look a little fancier, but I have asked my lovely scrapping friends to see if any of them can help me out.
Watch this space!

Welcome
Hello and welcome to our wedding blog. We are planning on keeping you all up to date with everything wedding based here. Please, pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea, put your feet up and leave us a few messages!
Our initial feelings are that its going to be in September 2009. Plenty of time to organise the masses and save up a little. An autumn wedding, lots of rich colours. We are thinking perhaps that it might also be in Whitby. This means that both sets of family and friends will need to travel, however with Whitby being a very popular seaside resort there are a number of places to stay, ranging from B&B's to 4 Star Hotels.
Anyway thats it for now. We will probably change our minds lots, about lots of things in the next few months. The serious planning part of it will not get underway until April/May time. In that time we should be able to figure out how to customise this blog to our theme!
Take Care
