Date you got Engaged: Around December 2004
Where did you get engaged: We'd talked about it a bit, and I'd chosen the ring and bought it together - I'd assumed he'd wait until Christmas but when we got home he came into the kitchen, I had tea towel in one hand, dish cloth in the other, and OH so romantic he just said, holding the ring "you gonna marry me then?" LOVELY! How long were you together before getting engaged?: About 18 months What's your wedding date?: 4th April 2009 - only set the date last Summer (07) though! Where you getting married? At my home village Church, St Beuno, Aberffraw. Colour Scheme: "Chocolate and cream" (my dress is ivory, bridesmaids will be in chocolate brown) Wedding Theme: No real theme, just sticking to colours 
No. of Bridesmaids (incl CBM & FG): Two adult BM's (one CBM) and one flower girl (our daughter) No. of Groomsmen: H2B will have his best man, then there'll be our two boys as page boys, and there will be my brother - but it's likely he'll be the one walking with me down the aisle. Your Chosen Dress: Maggie Sottero Madrid in ivory Shoes: ATM, free shoes I'm getting with the dress (from US) will have to see if they fit when they come! Where you going on Honeymoon? We have a few places we're interested in, Kenya was looking promising, but with it being rainy season at the time there and all the fighting I think we might opt for Egypt. Go for 10 days, stay at Sharm El Sheikh and do lots of day trips, including a flight to Cairo to see the pyramids! When? It will be mid-May 2009 - about 6 weeks after the wedding so that H2B can take his holidays out of his new work year. Whats the Hotel? No idea yet, still contemplating B&B or All Inclusive! Not a huge budget so we shall see! |
