pff what a hell of alot of organising goes into getting married. We're getting married on 15-10-2009, yet somehow I feel the need to organise everything NOW.

I found an amazingly cute location for the party, which won't be huge (50 ppl), and there a buffet style diner for 25, and a party for 50 will cost 2100 euro's which is amazing and 400 euro below budget! Im so excited, we're gonna go and taste the food etc soon and then probably book the place.





We also found an amazing location for the wedding itself. It's an building from the late 1500's, called the devilshouse as there are alot of devils hanging from the outside of the house, its such an amazing building..



so, anyone else planning a wedding?

My friend just got married. It was beautiful... and ridiculously expensive I imagine. I can post soppy pictures of dresses/location if you want.

Well, first of all, congratulations!

And I think you're wise to look into the bits that you can organize ahead of time, such as locations (those both sound amazing, btw!).

I just have one question: Are you soon going to begin driving yourself and everyone else completely mad w/ "OMG dresses gowns tuxedoes flowers cake DRESS DRESS DRESSSESSSSSS??"

Bc. If so, um. Warn everyone concerned to lay in a supply of Valium well in advance, or you may find yourself murdered in your sleep by a cabal of your bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law-to-be, and assorted friends and bystanders. lol

Half the immediate known universe seems to have gotten/be getting married this spring/summer/autumn in my immediate world. Have spent since about Feb. going to bridal showers, being in 1 wedding and gonna be in another over my strenuous objections but wtf. Also there have been ridiculous amounts of parties bc of same.

Yours sounds low key-ish and lovely. Not a thousand people nor tons of high-powered anxiety, right?
Good for you sweetie.


Chyia, contemplating my srsly ridic gown imma hafta wear in this upcoming wedding (blergh)

congrats!

One of my closest friends just got married last weekend. She came to me in June (yes.. 2 months ago) and asked me to plan it since she felt she was pretty hopeless in that department. We spent just over $1000 and it was beautiful, simple and classy. I think it can be really easy to get caught up in the whole "wedding industry", but when you really think about all you need and what you really want, it shouldn't put you in debt for years to come.
