Just got engaged last week and have no idea where to start!!

Postby marianne377 » Fri May 20, 2011 2:34 pm

Hi everyone! Just got engaged last week after almost 7 years together so thrilled and excited!! Have no idea where to start so hoping to get all the help i can get off this website and hopefully share in the fun and excitement with others!! I'd love to get married either in a nice setting in wicklow/kildare or rent out somewhere you can stay for a week/weekend and make a proper holiday of it for guests and family. Like a house with a marquee. ANY ideas/suggestions at all would be soooo much appreciated!!! Cheers xxx :happywave

I'm hoping to get married in either Wicklow or Meath. So far, for the wedding we'd like, The Station House in Meath, and the Summer Hill House in Wicklow are looking good.

Congratulations on your engagement!

Still mulling over the options. My h2b is from Bray, and I absolutely love Wicklow, so it's looking more and more likely we'll book somewhere there. If we go and check Summerhill out soon, I'll let you know how it goes. :)

Hi
Congrats!!!
Did you check out Rathsallagh House? It's just outside Dunlavin, Co. Wicklow. Very pretty. Didn't go with there ourselves coz of numbers. Went with Mount Wolseley.
BEst of luck with the planning.

Mount Wolseley is supposed to be gorgeous. Was it more on the expensive side?

We thought it was quite good value because of the package we got. A good few bits and pieces included in it. Also our wedding is classed as a winter wedding (even though its in the spring) the price was more 'favourable'. ;)

Congratulations to you both!! :) Best piece of advice I can give you is do nothing. For the moment! Just enjoy being engaged for a little while cos believe me its the best part... after this things can get a little stressful (if you let them). So gather your close friends and family around and celebrate. :muscial :hug3 :clapper

Next step is to decide to guest list and numbers. Then look at your date. Then you can go looking at venues and it all flows from there.

Enjoy!

I think the sit back and enjoy is a great piece of advice! Although I wouldn't stress too much over things myself - once I had him tied to a radiator the night before so I knew he'd turn up, I'd be grand! :lol:
