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

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...

Firstly, congratulations (again). Secondly; talk to Churchill *now*. Sure, you might not have to do it now, but better finding that out now than that it's too late later.

It seems like you know what you want, which is good.

We've found Confetti vaguely helpful; ymmv. Anyway,get the vague structure (places and dates and so on) sorted as early as possible, seems to be a generally good idea, and that's what our priest said, too. then you can worry about smaller details, such as what you're going to eat and who's going to play music, and stuff.

If you want a traditional white wedding dress,youprobably wanty to start looking about 7 months in advance, otherwise youcan leave it until much later.
