I'm Getting Married!

[Erised]

As the title says, I'm getting married! =D My other half proposed to me on the 7th of this month after having been together for 5 years. It was brilliant, he went down onto his knee and everything, which has all the women in my family jealous =D We're hoping to get married May 28th, just having to sort out a lot of stuff with me being Dutch and him being English. But I'm sure it will work out =)

The photo of the ring isn't too great, and shows the colour all wrong. It's a platinum ring with a .66 carat diamond in it. For those that actually understand diamonds (unlike me), it's a solitaire cut, G colour and SI2.

And a picture of us taken not long after he proposed:​

First of all, thank you to all of you for the congratulations and compliments on the ring!

... so tell us all about your wedding plans.... i mean everything! i get v v giddy at weddings

There's not much to tell yet I'm afraid. Until we have the legal work sorted there's not all that much that we can do. We'll be talking to the registrar on Tuesday to confirm that I can indeed get married in England, and what sort of paper work I'll have to bring over from Holland. We've spoken to the priest (I'm not religious, Peter isn't very religious, but still wants to have a church wedding) and he's more than happy to marry us =D So that's 1 of the few things that is sorted, the church. We're hoping very much to get everything sorted in time to get married on the 28th of May this year. May because it's spring, and the 28th because we met on the 28th.

I've bought my dress already =D I can't show you it though, not until after I've gotten married anyway, so you gotta wait a couple of months for that. We'll be picking out bridesmaids dresses next weekend, and hopefully we can get pale orange dresses. For flowers we'll probably have white roses and orange tulips. Very odd combo, especially for a wedding, but goes well with the spring theme and orange and tulips of course being Dutch helps.
I'm hoping to do the ceremony in church, and then go down to an outdoors venue somewhere in gardens where we'll be allowed to set up a marquee and do our own catering. So far however, that's not proven all that easy to find.

I'm sure there will be more to tell in due time, but for now that's as far as we've gotten.

Ah, to be an 'honest woman' =P I still torture him and annoy him daily, yet he sticks with me ... ain't he brilliant? =D Nah, you know what me and Peter are like. We still love each other to bits after having been together for 5 years. Don't think that will ever change either.

Aww, jealous Wolfy?
Peter will look after me, ... and hopefully we'll get the attic converted this year so we can start on those 'little ones' =D I'd keep you updated if something would happen of course. Will try and catch up with you some time this week.

And rdd (belated congratz on the mods btw!!), I think we'll stick with the 28th of May Hopefully we'll get to confirm it on Friday. Would definatly be nice to stop worrying about some of the things. Getting married, I'm sure it's gonna be worth it ... but wouldn't wanna do it twice!!
