The wedding was 28 October 2011 Handforth, Cheshire, Cheshire  • 
  • We actually met on a dating website called 'plentyoffish' - both of us were divorced with young children and were finding it difficult to get out and meet the right sort of person. We chatted through msn, then facebook before arranging to meet in the Slug & Lettuce in Wilmslow. It was a sweetly awkward and nerve-wracking first meeting where I asked him a lot of personal questions about his ex-wife!! lol. He didn't mind though and we had our first proper date at the theatre he was a member of. We had so many things in common and our lives were interwoven with people we both knew and his company are based in a building my company manage - so many coincidences it was a bit weird! He even reunited me with an old best friend from my school! 2.5 years on and we are still really connected - we finish each others sentences, go to do or say the same things at the same time etc. If you believe in soul mates like I do - he is definitely mine & I know I am very lucky to have found him! :o)

Is it just the time of year??? I'm not motivated at all to do wedding stuff... I have my dress & it feels like I can do little else for a while - but some of you are getting married after me & have stuff organised!! I'm stuck...

I've found my dress!!!!! After a sea of ivory & white & cream etc. I tried another dress on as a bit of a joke. It was huge, it was red, I just fancied trying it on. Never for a second did I think it would be THE ONE but it was!!... Show full message

Took H2B with me to a bridal shop today & tried on a dress in the sale £399. Squashing a Taboo by letting him see it!! You make your own bad luck in this world - him seeing the dress is not going to ruin our marriage!

Watching 'don't tell the bride' OMG I so couldn't let my other half do the arranging... I don't think I could sit back and do nothing while he arranges it all!!

Save The Date Magnets arrived today - and they are ACE!! Much bigger than I thought, they are like glossy paper with a magnetic back, light enough to post, approx. half A5 size and printed really well - very pleased! :o)

About me: I'm a 2nd time bride - the first time I was only 19 and my Mum practically arranged everything for me! I was very young and naive and I thought we were ready. after 2 years marriage we had a daughter Hannah and then my husband left me when she was 2 and I thought it was the end of the world. Now being a bit more grown up I can see that our relationship was never right. We are still in touch because of our lovely daughter but I have met a much better man now. Despite the previous disaster, I am very ready to try again! My h2b has a daughter the same age as Hannah and they are very pleased about becoming step-sisters! we haven't set a date yet, but I am very much looking forward to our big day - but I am also going to enjoy the build up and being able to make my own arrangements and have exactly what WE want instead of letting someone else arrange it all!
