Although I like failing to announce things, I do need some help.

[chess]

tienelle and I would like to get married, preferably next summer. My mother informs me that I don't have the first clue about how much organisation and pain this is going to take and that I should start faffing now. The vague plan is that we'll have the service in Churchill Chapel and then get the Churchill conference people to do catering for the reception, then we'll have a party in the evening for people who want to avoid the family / don't fit in the church.

I know there are quite a lot of people doing the wedding dance right now, so I thought I'd ask for some advice as to where to start / what needs doing on what timescale...

Dresses only take 6 months if you care 6 months worth... if it's being made 6 months is probably about right but if you're going to go to John Lewis and buy something then it might take you half an hour (to find out if it fits)... all depends on care levels. As with all things if you want it 'just so' leave aaaages, if you couldn't give a toss then go buy something cheap a week before, or don't bother... You probably *do* want a venue though... and everything seems to be booked 'till the next millenium when you just have to find 2 or 3 venues on the same day (even harder if you have strong opinions about the day or if your honneymoon plans involve enforced day/date selection) summer is popular for weddings, I used to bell ring for them and there was one most weekends all summer, some days there were 2 one after the other! And unless you fancy getting married at 8am in the registry office on a Tuesday in November... I suggest you book now.
