It's done. The date is set!!!We'll get married in autumn this year, which leaves 9-10 months to get everything set up and in order. We have sorted out a place to get married (to be confirmed tomorrow), the registrar (done) and a place to party (provisionally booked, to be confirmed tomorrow).
We'll get married in a castle!
It is a strange system by which the ceremony has to be booked with a non-refundable deposit, but you also need to confirm a registrar for the same time, who will also take a non-refundable fee for booking. I found the best system is to have the registrar on the phone as you book the venue, but it didn't work out that way. We've let the place know our date and preferred time and will confirm with the venue tomorrow. At least that way, it's only £75 lost instead of £150 for the venue.
We saw two very different places today. A farm/ hotel and a simple hotel, both with different options and very different ideas of how much they should charge for food. It does pay to look around as the place we have provisionally confirmed will charge us half of the sum we got quoted by the other place.
I'll sleep better tomorrow when all deposits have been paid and we only have to sort out people and accommodation...
That said, it wasn't half as stressful as people make it out to be. Maybe it helps that future hubby and I are actually on one page when it comes to what we want. We even had the same idea for a cake topper - we will get a Lego figure wedding set :-)
