Planning Thread 1

[northernflasher]

So here it is, totally an afterthought as I didnt have time to sleep or eat in the run up to the wedding, I was still putting finishing touches to favours the day before the wedding sitting on my balcony at the resort!

 

Firstly Thank You all so much for your invaluable advice, inspiration and support. This would all have been so much harder without this forum and without all of you.

I apologise and give you my upmost thanks if you recognise your templates here without a credit. I've deleted all the originals so I dont know who to thank! Please speak up if you recognise anything so I can add a credit which can help other brides in the future.

 

Here goes....

Engagement: 2nd March 2008.

We met in March 2000 whilst working as cruise-ship photographers for Royal Caribbean.

David took me away on a Caribbean cruise to celebrate my 30th birthday and went down on bended knee on a secluded rock cove in St Kitts on my 30th Birthday. He had planned the whole thing for months and chose the ring himself which is perfect.

We decided that seeing as we spent so much time together in Mexico during those first few months of our relationship that it would be the perfect place to get married, plus neither of us are very traditional and working as wedding photographers here in the UK we wanted something totally different for our wedding.

We picked the 26th March 2010 as its exactly 10 years to the day that we first met.

 

Wedding Rings:

My engagement ring was picked by David and is exactly what I would have chosen for myself, what can I say, the boy knows me...

My wedding ring is actually a half eternity ring that I totally fell in love with right after our engagement and just had to have.

His is a gorgeous titanium and sterling silver inlaid band.

 

Grooms suit and Best man outfit, Grooms 11 year old son. We couldnt find matching shirts for the two of them anywhere so we ended up getting white and dyeing them and the handkerchiefs with dylon china blue dye:
