Hi there!

I just joined the forum today but to be honest I've had a bit of a lurch around in the past! My fiancé popped the question in January and we've only in the past two weeks set the date and been thinking about our wedding. I went to look at the venue we want during the week and the day is blocked of for us so that's kind of as far as we've got.
We are going to have a civil ceremony and then have a blessing and reception a few days later. MY sister is studying photography so one of her friends is going to do our photo's for us. My fiancé is a film maker so one of his friends will film it for us. Another friend will make our cakes and other then that we're going to try do as much of it ourselves.

I'm looking forward to all the help and tips on the forum!

[wuzzles]

Congratulations!! Welcome and Happy Planning! Whereabouts are you having your venue?? I missed out on looking at venues as we are going abroad so id say it must be very exciting

[mrsshaunryan]

Thanks guys!! it's really exciting stuff! I'm trying very hard not to be a big bridezilla! (I think my h2b would tell you I'm past trying though!! )
We're hoping to book the Aras Chronain in Clondalkin, it's a lovely house that was built in the 1880s and has been restored. The also have a lovely function room, conservatory and garden so there is plenty of photo ops there!
Thanks for the welcomes, I hope I can contribute to a great forum and get some great tips!

Áras chrónáin is a great spot. My sister had her 21st there years ago. i wish I'd have thought of choosing there. Do you have to organise your own caterer?

[mrsshaunryan]

They have an in house caterer so if we get a good price we'll use her, if not we have the choice to organise it ourselves. To be honest it was my sister who suggested it to me and it's just perfect for us! The function room fits up to 200 people so its just great! We we're planning on having the reception and speeches in the house before moving into the function room.

[Mrs Brideog]

Very good, sounds different and I like it! Seems like you have a lot of big decisions made!

[Skittles]

Congrats on setting a date. Good luck with the rest of the planning. You'll get loads of great tips from the missies. They are brilliant.

[mrsshaunryan]

thanks for the warm welcome! I'm a little bit addicted to the forum already!

[Mrs Brideog]

Well, get used to it! I have no need to be on here anymore since I'm married 2 months 2moro but finding it hard to say goodbye!

[mrsshaunryan]

haha oh dear! I think my H2B thinks I'm a bit mad so I'm glad I'm not alone! oh Brideog, I'm bring H2Bs parents and my parents to the aras on friday so everyone can have a gawk around and we should be booking it next week then once everyone is happy!

[Mrs Brideog]

Bhuel, go n-éirí an t-ádh libh (Best of luck!). Hope they like it too and if they don't, stuff them, it's your wedding!
