Bridal Survey
How long did you date before you got engaged?
Just under a year - we're fast paced people (heartwise!)
Did you get the ring you wanted?
It's absolutely beautiful, and everything I ever envisoned.
Was the proposal a complete surprise?
Nope, we'd been talking about it for a period of time.
Do you wish you had a bigger/smaller diamond? If so How big or small?
Nope! It's perfectly proportionate to my finger/hand.
Did you cry when he proposed?
I think I cried before and after, but during I was just happy.

Romantically sneaky, but lovely.

Either October 16th or November 7th (I know, ridiculous, right?)
What kind of weather?
Autumn / Winter
Inside or outside?
Both.
Are you getting married in a church?
I'm not. The majority of my mother's family are a religion that will not enter another church, and as I want my grandparents there when I get married, we compromised.

Marie Antoinette / Baroque - French inspired style, decadence, elegance, etc.

We currently live together, but I keep teasing that I'm going to move out for a few months prior.

This is taking all of my time and energy, so number one.
Will you do it yourself or with family or hire someone to plan the wedding?
Myself and the wedding party are helping out in huge proportions.
Will you write your own vows or use something pre-made?
We are "winging it" - say how you feel in the moment. That's how we are, plus it will give me a good laugh.
