The Proposal...
...was wonderful, and took place on the 21st December. I'll keep the details fairly private, but safe to say I felt really special and surprised, which was lovely.
Immediate feeling post engagement? Panic! We'd talked about having a Winter wedding before, but with the engagement a reality, we more or less said - why not this year? I am, by nature, such a planner and love details, but putting a month and date on it felt suddenly overwhelming. I have to admit to feeling daunted by the task of planning a real wedding. Like every girl on the internet, I have a secret Wedding board on Pinterest (don't give me the shifty eyes, you know you have one) and I've got absolutely no motivation to go through it (although I'll show you a snippet below). What I have found is that everyone is very kind and willing to help, but it can be all the more confusing when it comes to decision making. Too much stress! Which rhymes with...
I think I may have already found my dress. If that's not an oh my gosh moment I don't know what is. It's beautiful, but I initially worried that I'd done it all far too quickly and hadn't seen enough or picked something more me. Can any fellow brides-to-be or newly weds please give me advice on dealing with W day stress as a whole? I'm a nervous wreck!
Looking forward to the next...! If you got engaged recently and you're a fellow blogger, please join in with #WeddingWednesday! I'm so looking forward to reading new blogs and stories.

Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI get married in August. I've been fairly relaxed about the whole thing so far, it took me almost a year or searching to finally find the dress so if you've fallen for one already GO FOR IT! Now that it's THIS year and I need to get my act together it's starting to stress me out... :O
Main advice...Everyone will have an opinion on EVERYTHING. Even down to "ugh you have to walk on grass at that venue" (there's actually a path and they're not even coming!) You will never please everybody so go with your gut instinct and do what feels right for the two of you!

That is amazing dear. I am also getting married this year and that is why I am looking for the cheap wedding related stuff. After searching a lot I have reserved one of the best wedding event space in my area.
