lol I was going to ask did you get your dress of eBay as a lot of things come from HongKong on there. I think its the way to go using eBay instead of forking out so much money on 1 thing. Did you see in the paper ages a go that guy who met his now wife off eBay and they bought everything off eBay for the wedding? - My mum was the guy who got marrieds boss lol.

The wedding ring is lovely. I love the engraving. It will be such an amazing day for you!

oh yeah, I'll upload it in a bit!
2 and a half years already! Gone quick!
 
Wow, that has. Yes, please upload it. You look so lovely in your wedding dress. I am sure everybody would love to see it :)
 
yeah i mean our wedding is going to cost about £5k max ne way so why not go for the cheaper stuff! hehe

its not as if my dress is manky or anything.. its a really nice one that i fell in love with ages ago even before i'd met stu. I can remember saying there's a dress that has a heart bit at the back.. the lace on the back goes into a heart!

its gorgeous!

hehe

i didnt see the thing about the people meeting on ebay no..
 
yeah do upload it

i love seeing wedding piccies hehe

seeing as its the month for Lurrrrrrve in the air why not! hehe

what did you do for your reception decorating?

thats one thing i've got to concentrate on.

here is the style we are having our invitations i made this on photoshop by stealing the design from the website picture

see i'm not going to put flowers on the tables i'm just going to have the vases with floating candles and some ballons in the centre.

ours is burgundy and cream(ivory) as my dress is ivory.. cant have white I'm not innocent enough! hehe ::)
 
that was my initial thought! but my mum was like 'it's your first wedding so have to do things by the book'..! so big white meringue dress and church wedding it was!
 
yeah my dress will be a bit puffier once i've got a thing to go underneath it

i want traditional so i've got a gorgeous church booked

ooohh so similar to mine! My parents bought me some jewellery for the day!

We had our photos taken at warwick castle too!
 
hehe :D

we got good taste then! hehe

i really cant wait.

getting our own house is going to be amazing too! jus sooooo hard getting on the property ladder :(

need to save up £5k for the wedding plannin to do that by the end of the year

ithink the only thing my parents are paying for is the hire of the reception hall

i dont want them to have to fork out for stuff because they have had to put up with me for 21 years! hehe
 
My boyfriend is 21 and he got on the property ladder when he was 20. Here are some pics of our house

He got the house for £120,000 and it was built last year so it was a new house. Where I live, they were building houses between 50,000 and 120,000. They are really nice. They were designed for young people or people that had divorved.

Here is some pics...

Its a 2 bedroomed house
 
Bet you can't!

We planned and saved for ours in just under a year!

We paid the majority ourselves, parents (mine) paid for the reception, half of the catering, champagne, balloon arches and my jewellery!

A hell of a lot of planning I can tell you! LOL

Who are you having for your photos?

We're currently on a council list for a 3 bedroomed house! (starting to go towards future)
But we've been told that we can end up waiting years!
 
wow thats amazing!

the thing is we can afford that much.. :(

i'm on £12,500 and stu's on £13,500 and we can just about scrape a mortgage for £100,000

because stu's got bad credit ratings.. almost black listed! so it would all be based on my earnings..
 
aww its really pretty!

We had Kodak Elegante to take our piccies, they were with us all day! Were really nice, a husband and wife team!

Over £1000 though which was a bit of a downside! But the pics we got are amazing!
 
yeah there is a fantastic photographer that i want but then i thought... everyone is bound to have digital cameras and what not.. so i can get a cheaper photographer and use the pics that other people got

thats who we are using

:D not everyone had digitals back then! lol

that photographer you're having is great for the price!

how long have you been together?
 
hehe

our photogrpher is doing it on proper film he doesnt like the digital stuff .. which is cool i suppose.

we've been together... since April last year. We met on the internet.

he lived in london i live in somerset, we first met at Gatwick Airport on 30 April 2005 and totally fell in love.

he saved me from a rather rubbish relationship! fell for Stu left my other boyfriend of 3 years and Stu proposed to me on 14 June 2005

if you wanna see our webpage we got a site telling you how we got together and everything

www.ss4ya.tk
 
Oh crikey! another snap! lol

Met my hubby on internet too, 6 years ago! Married for 2 and half, time has flown by!

I was in Warwick, Mike was in Colchester! Got engaged after 2 years then started to arrange weddings!
 
heheh funny how common internet relationships are really heheh

i wouldnt change stu for the world.

i can remember everyone saying "what if hes a mass murdered or something"

lol

but you can just tell cant you?
 
oh yeah, totally agree with that! no-one could understand either!

but yeah, you just know it's not some weirdo.. but trying to convince people otherwise is a different story!
 
yup.. cos i went up to london to go and meet stu and bring him back to my house on the second occassion of meeting they were like be careful cos you will be on yoru own in a place you dont know..

its like.. man.. we've talked for about a month before.. we've seen each other everynight on webcam.. we've texted all day,, emailed.. phoned each other before we go to bed..

i think he's safe! heheh

but in some cases you do have to be careful cos people are not who they say they are unfortunately which does give the internet a bad name :(

i've met a few people from the internet there is a girl from another forum that lives about 30 mins from me. ive met someone from bristol, and 2 people from london
 
yeah..

Mike came down to my college a few months after meeting on the net! He then stayed with me the easter break at mine withmy parents!
like you, constantly talking on the phone, text, email, you name it! but still people were a bit funny!

sharing so many secrets and stories, and they just know you so well!

after that we saw each other at leat every month as I was at college and Mike was in uni..

Haven't got as far as meeting other people as majority of mine are foreign, be it america or egypt! lol
 
yeah a lot of my friends are from the netherlands and germany and stuff and a few in the states. :)

hehe

are you at college now?
 
aww gosh, finished 3 years back! lol.. did start a course sometime ago, but couldnt be bothered with it, so am now a housewife!
