Hello,
Hope you do not mind me joining in but I would love to hear what your wedding plans are so far and when you are getting married

(It is actually by a beautiful river, but I can't find my pic of that right now!).... This is my engagement ring:
We're getting married on February 5th, 2010 at my Church (My Father passed away three years ago, and this was 'his' Church, so it means a lot to us to get married there.):
And then we're having our reception at the Alnwick Gardens, in their Pavillion Room:
We're also paying to have the Grand Cascade Fountain lit up for our guests:
We're having an alcohol free bar, but providing alcoholic drinks for the toast and for a welcome, and also wine with dinner. Our main emphasis is on food! Our wedding menu currently stands at:

Starters:
Chicken and Pancetta Salad
Tomato and Mozzerella Tart with Balsamic Dressing (V)
Mains:

My Aunt is a Florist and is doing all our flowers for us, and we're working on wedding transport at the moment... And we're also planning on booking a Live Piano musician for two hours at our reception for dancing. And we booked our photographer the other night:
