Benn lurking here for a while and haven't as yet spotted a thread for those of us who are getting married next year.
Thought it would be nice to share ideas and thoughts about it all, including when we are getting married etc.

ok i will start:
Wedding date: 1st May 2010
Wedding venue: St Michaels church Breaston, Derbyshire
Reception venue: Risley Hall, Risley, Derbyshire
Bridesmaids: 4 flower girls plus 1 maid of honour (4 of our neices and my sister)
Pageboys: 1 pageboy (our nephew)
Colour scheme: red, gold, cream and ivory (i wanted blue but couldn't get blue wedding dress)
Dress: Alfred Angelo design 1516
Flower girl and maid of honour dresses: alfred angelo
Wedding theme: hearts, bicycles and music.
At the moment i am looking for shoes and a seamstress. It's a bit of a nightmare for me because i cant find any that are not too high and not pointed.
We can't decide what invites to go for as they all seem a little expensive

Sheep, congratulations!
You are in England? yes? My parents are on vacation there as we speak.
By page, do you mean a little boy carrying the train (that's what I call pages), or do you mean what we here would call a ring bearer?

Is it a done deal on the wedding dress? it's just that there *are* places in your area (at least ONE) that do blue wedding dresses.

Hi Manda, yes the dress is currently hanging in the spare bedroom as i got it for a bargain.
Had a look at quite few different wedding dress shops but and this was the only dress that looked nice on me.

Sheep, I think you misunderstood my question. I was asking about your page boy. Here in the U.S. page boys and ring bearers are two different things so I was wondering if your page boy was carrying the train or bearing the ring. So, since I like weddings in general, and care about yours in particular, I was just curious to know what the page boy in your wedding was doing.

My hubby, and I were going to renew our vows for our 10th anniversary (2010). We were planning a ceremony, reception, etc. The whole package. However, we have had a family tragedy recentlly. Hubby, and I will probablly postpone untill 2011, and do it on our 11th anniversary. We have talked to the church, and our top 3 reception choices, and let them all know. At least it's more time to plan?

Sorry
Ok our pageboy with be carrying our rings on a cushion, and maybe helping with seating arrangements for our guests or handing out hymm books (he will be nearly 10 but is very mature for his age)

Congratulations myhusbandswfe on your renewal of your vows. Really sorry to hear about your family tragedy. Am not sure what it's like in America but to get the venue and date we wanted we had to book it in 2008 (nearly 2 years in advance by the time we get married) which is totally mental.
Am going to sit down with h2b this week and discuss final numbers for invites etc. It's quite hard to get him to decide on who can come and who can't because he doesn't want to leave anyone out. Me on the otherhand is quite ruthless and can cut people off the list if needs be.

Thank you on both counts. As to when to book, it depends on the location, and the time of day, and the day of the week, and the time of the year. The month in which we originally got married was a low(er) demand month so it was/is easier to book.

Sorry i haven't been in for a bit what with work and social things going off i have only just had about enough time to check my emails. oneofhisjewels yes am in the east midlands, never heard of the legend of the seeker.
Wedding plans are going ok making an appointment with one of our customers tomorrow to sort out suit hire (and hopefully get a bargin in the process). Am off to look for wedding shoes on Saturday while Mark goes youth hosteling with his friends. Sunday it's lunch with Chris the vicar who is marrying us and Fiona his wife to discuss the wedding etc.
A week on Saturday we are off to draw some hearts in the sand at a beach near my Aunt and Uncle's house for the wedding invites.
Things are slowly starting to come together, am managing to get fit ready for the wedding which means an hour in the gym. It's kind of funny really becasue every morning i wake up and the first 3 things i think about are the gym, trying on my dress and then Mark (my h2b) lol

Sorry to hear about your cake, but glad that you were able to work something else out.
Hubby, and I did decide to postpone until 2011. It wasn't an easy decision, and neither of us are thrilled about it, but we feel that it's for the best. Oh well. More time to save up for it, and plan for it right?

Here in the U.S. (Mostly the south), there is a tradition of having a second "Groom's" cake. It's typically geared towards the groom's taste and interest, and contrasts the "Bride/wedding cake". For example, if the wedding cake is a white traditional cake, the groom's cake might be a chocolate cake with like a football jersey on it or something (that the groom likes).
Maybe you can go for a three tier cake, and then get a smaller 2nd cake (not as fancy) - with the flavoring of your choice.
At our wedding we had a traditional three tiered cake (white cake w/ raspberry filling), and then we also had baby cheesecake bites that we had ordered from a cheesecake shop. We still hear about the cheesecake! lol.
As for me....the wedding was 3 1/2 months ago, and I finally got the dress box to store it in. However, the dress has been hanging in our bedroom since we've been married and I'm having a real hard time getting myself to put it in the box. I love to lay in bed w/ DH and look at it and remember the day. Perhaps I'll wait until the wedding photos come in.

PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS! 
First Photo of Baby...
. Mark's aunt was due to make our cake but she forgot the date and has booked to go to Australia instead. She is very upset about it but what can you do? 
I hate fruit cake, but Mark thinks it will go further so who am i to argue. The lady seems to think we wil need 3 tiers but Mark wants four as he loves cake lol.
