How Did I Get Here and What Do I Do Now?

So here I am, 57, and a Bride-to-be, or rather a first time Bride-to-be. Not a sentence or situation I ever thought would apply to me.

I should start by saying that this blog is not going to cover how I met my other half, how he proposed etc. What it will be though is a ride-along of my journey booking the venue through to the big day, which is now only 370 days away!!!

Even as a little girl, I had never imagined being a bride. Was just not on my radar, but never say never but the love a good man, and a baby grandson can make you change your mind. And so, here I am planning my wedding.

So I guess I should admit that at this stage, we are 2 months in to the planning process and we (I) have sorted most things. But I need to take you back to the start, beginning of July 2026 when I told the other half that yes, despite all that I had said, I did now want to get married and I had seen the perfect venue.

So pop back later and I shall post the story of the venue, the booking and then the ridiculous amount of questions my hairdresser of all people asked me!
