You are invited....

So this week I received two (yes two) invitations! I am sooo excited it makes wedding season seem even closer for me. They both came from our real life brides and I wanted to give you all a sneak peak at them.
Now I just need to keep "shredding" so that my dress fits.
First up the lovely Hannah

And Miss Jenna's

Let's just hope the weather improves by June! 

Real Life Bride to be- Jenna

Ok here is another of our "real life brides to be" this one I know real well as she is my sister! I am her Maid of Honour but thought it would be more exciting to hear about the wedding from her view not mine! 


About us!!

Welcome to the world of Joshua and I!! I’m Jenna, I am 22 years old from Larkfield, Kent. Josh is 21 years old (yes I know he is younger….it runs in the family you cant blame me ☺) and he is from Gloucester. I am working full time at the moment as a Supervisor in a retail store called Superdry. I am hoping to become a make up artist soon and start my own business but for now Superdry pays the bills. Josh is attending Aston University in Birmingham, he is studying Spanish and Maths (CRAZY!! I know). He loves going to the gym with his boys, playing football, especially loves rugby and making me the happiest girl EVER!!

Our Story.

Josh and I officially met New years eve 2007. We had heard and seen glimpses of each other but our eyes and ears had never officially had the pleasure of meeting, but on this night things changed!! Through the years we became the best of friends. To me he was my best friend but to Josh he would describe this time as me being stubborn and not giving us two a chance to date. He tried his hardest to make me realise we would be perfect together but I wouldn’t give in! Years past by and 2009 came around. He called me about his mission call, Canada Toronto East Spanish speaking mission. But still JUST FRIENDS! Basically to cut a long story kinda short, I ended up falling for him a month before he left! We spent the last week inseparable and still to this day I wonder what took me so long. On the Saturday before he left he had organised a farewell at Gadfield Elm Chapel to hang out! That night I will never forget, it was the first time we both told each other that we loved one another and the first time we kissed (it was like out of a fairytale movie, but I will leave that part out!). After an emotional goodbye, we stayed in contact. Emailing every week. After two years past by I was asked to go to the airport for his homecoming, butterflies flew and spun through my stomach. Whilst waiting at the arrivals sweating like no other! Our RM is finally home! And ever since then our love has blossomed!! For my 22nd birthday he surprised me with a trip to Canada for a week in January….ever since people found out about this trip we received non stop comments about Josh proposing out there! And to my delight on the 14th January, Josh got down on one knee in the middle of a 4-way intersection in Dundas Square and made me a the happiest girl again! Since we got home we spend every weekend together! And we couldn’t be more excited about planning the rest of our lives together!! BRING ON 14th JULY 2012 YAYYYYYY!!

Real life brides to be- Hannah

Ok so we have seen real life weddings (& will continue too) and tips and ideas from me, but thought it would be a good idea to follow along with some "real brides-to-be" to hear about their experiences and tips they want to share with all of you! I am really excited to get to know these brides-to-be and first up we have Hannah here is her story:-

    • • Our Story:
        Rob and I first met at the end of April last year. I had just decided to take time out of school in America and had all these big plans to be single for the next year and travel and work and get rich...but I think it is safe to say - like most things in life - nothing happened according to plan! The day after I got home I begrudgingly agreed to go on a double blind date with one of my friends. Don't get me wrong, even tho my plan was to be single for the year I was still totally up for going on dates..just not blind ones! Having been on more than my fair share of blind dates and knowing how awkward and cringey they can be it is safe to say I wasn't too keen! But I decided despite my past experiences I was gonna have fun on this date and it was an opportunity to make new friends if nothing else!
        When we first met on the date Rob was quite shy - probably because I was not being very shy at all and called him the wrong name right after I asked a second time what his name was again ha! Thankfully he was not too put off by this and we ended up having a lot of fun together that weekend! I didn't have a phone at the time so for the following week we messaged back and forth on good old Facebook until the next weekend when we ended up going to the same event. I guess you could say it was this weekend that changed everything - we had our first kiss and spent the whole weekend getting to know each other better and having fun! About 2 weeks later we were officially an item and on the day of our 9 month 'anniversary' of dating Rob proposed!! We are getting married 30th June 2012 and we are so so excited to share our special day with all the people we love!
