Celebrations!

Hi everyone! We had a lovely time at our local pub on Saturday and we felt it on Sunday morning I can tell you! It was lovely to see everyone and we really were touched by all the cards and gifts we recieved so thank you.

Because my family and friends are up north I still have some celebrations to come with them so that should be fun! Can't wait to show my mum the ring in person and do some dress shopping! ARRRGH! lt's all very exciting!

Pictures of all celebrations will be on facebook so you can have a nosey. We were lucky enough to have our wedding photographer at our party on Saturday and some of the pictures are fantastic! More pictures and information about the wedding will be coming soon!

Lots of love The future Mrs Bass! x

Engagement Drinks!

Invites have now gone out for our engagement drinks, nothing big just few drinks down one of our local pubs, although we have hired a room so we won't be bothered by any of the normal pub riff-raff.

All joking aside it should be a very enjoyable evening. Hope to see you there!

Please see our "Thanks to..."

If you look to your right you will see our "Thank to..." section, here we will be adding the websites for any services we use, places we hire, pubs we organize drinks in and the like.

The hope is that having all these website in one location will make to easier for everyone to find all the information we can't add to our blog, you can't blog the entire world!

Jess' first post!

Hi all.

When Sean first suggested this website as a way of keeping people involved in our wedding plans, I was quite apprehensive. I feared it was a bit self indulgent and arrogant in way, I didn't want it to seem like we were bragging about our wedding! After all there are other important things going in people's lives and our 'big day' is after all going to be a low key affair.

However, the fact remains that we have family and friends on the Wirral, in Manchester and in the Midlands and this is a fantastic way of incorporating everyone we know and love in the preparation for our wedding and making sure everyone gets the important information quickly and easily. In this modern world, where the internet is an everyday necessity, it seems like the perfect way of getting everyone on board and excited about our upcoming nuptials.

The information that will be provided on this site is also a massive advantage to creating it. There are inevitably going to be people who travel to us on the day and so they will need to look for important things like hotels and directions. Instead of putting all of this in one HUGE invitation, (I feared it was going to be a book, the way we were thinking!) it can all be included on this site and it is just the website which needs to be on the invites. (And yes, think of the trees and cost!)

As I have said , the wedding is going to be low key affair, particualrly in terms of costs. We are attempting to have a small budget for the actual day as we feel that the most important thing is that we are married and that it is a nice day, and we honestly believe that you don't need to spend tens of thousands of pounds to achieve this. It also seems more sensible to use our money for a fantastic once in a lifetime honeymoon, or put it towards a deposit on our first home. It struck me that for anyone who wants to get married in the future that this blog might give people a few tips on how to do it on a budget. So advantage for blog number 3.

Finally, the blog will be a fantatstic way of me discussing bridal issues without becoming bridezilla! I've only been engaged for two weeks and the wedding, despite the desire for it to be low key, is already taking over all of my thoughts, time, feelings and brain power! The blog will be a perfect way for me vent all of my thoughts and feelings and plans for the wedding and also get your opinion on things to! Sean is particualry grateful for this aspect of the blog, as he might get less earache now!

I hope this explains it quite well, and I hope you all read, contribute and join me on my journey from becoming Miss Smith to Mrs Bass , and more than anything I hope that you all enjoy it!

Coming soon : Date of wedding, location of ceremony and reception venue.

Keep reading!

Lots of love

Newly engaged lady, Jess xxxx
