With Christmas coming up, not only celebrating my 1st with Liam in our own home, but this year will also be our 1st year anniversary of being engaged. Yes, he surprised me last year and proposed on Christmas day. I had no clue! There were no presents left and he was trying to get me to search for it, because it was apparently under the tree, but me being the stubborn person I am, I refused. I completely ruined it! He was planning on kneeling down as soon as I got up to look under the tree, but because I wouldn't, he just pulled the box out of his pocket and asked me there and then. His parents knew all about it and had a bottle of champagne and cards ready for when I said yes.
A year later, not only have we moved out of his parents house, but we have moved 100 miles away from anyone we know, we have our own flat and are very much still in love. We'll have been together 3 years in July and I honestly can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
We plan on getting married on the 13th July 2014, on our 5th anniversary of being together. I've been scouring the web ever since we got engaged and I thought I'd share some of the inspirational pictures I have found for my perfect dream wedding!
I hope I haven't bored you all with this post, it's just a very special time of year for me. As you can see from the pictures, the colour theme will be a very light pink. I would like a classic, vintage-y style dress, white of course, but I want to wear pink shoes. My bridesmaids have requested dresses with some form of straps, but I am having trouble finding something summery, floaty and full length. Although, a couple of girls would like shorter dresses. I'd like my cake to be simple and flowers to be eye-catching. The last picture is an idea for the reception. I know that there'll be a lot of children attending, so I'd like to have a pick and mix table, glass bowls filled with old school penny sweets and cups to fill.
If you guys can think of any nice ideas, I'm always open for suggestions! Just shoot me a message!
That's so exciting that you're getting married!
ReplyDeleteAll the stuff you've posted is gorgeous, especially the dresses
Best of luck with it all :) xx
That’s good, Samantha! An early preparation saves all the stress and crunch time… It’s good that the date is already fixed and everyone’s just waiting for it! Your theme is simple and it is very you… The pink shoes are a good idea. Just make sure the gown doesn’t cover ‘em when you walk towards your lifetime partner! Good luck and best wishes!
