Maria and Petes Wedding Journal

[maz]

Hi ya

I love reading all your journals and seeing all your plans so i thought i would start one of my own



HOW IT ALL STARTED

Me and Pete meet nearly 6 years ago, I had meet Petes older brother on holiday and we had become friends we said we would keep in touch but as usual didnt. It was 2 years later that i met him by chance on a night out he was with a group of friends and he started to introduce me. then he got to Pete and he said they were brothers Pete caught my eye straight away he is 6 ft 5 in dark hair and eyes what you might say "tall dark and hansom" I then spent the whole night flirting like mad to get his attention he didnt seem to chatty though and i thought he wasnt intrested. After hours of trying his brother told me that he was really shy!!!!!!!!!! At the end of the night i asked if he fancyed meeting up again on a date and too my suprise he said yes. After a few dates pete started to relax and i realised not only was he hunky looking but he had a great personality too a real gentleman. We started to get serious very soon and i realised he was the one i had been looking for!!

THE NEXT FEW YEARS

Well after just 1 year of being together we new that this was it so we moved in to Petes parents while we saved to get our own place. After a few years of saving all our pennys and 3 years into the relationship we brought our first little house. It was great felt very grown up, we were just getting happyer every day. We brought a ginger tom kitten and called him Tigger (from whinnie the poo) After being in our house just under 2 years we decided we wanted a family house for the future and brought a lovely 3 bed semi. Good job we did as 3 months later we found out i was pregnant we were shocked as it had not been planned but at the same time very very excited. Unfortuantly after just 8 weeks in to the pregnancy i had a misscarrige:bbcry:

We grew closer than ever over the next month and Pete was very supportive and strong. After 1 night of passion (not being careful) a month after the last time i found out that i was pregnant again very shocked as i didnt think it would have been poss but it was!!! 9 very exciting months later our son was born "Callum" we were chuffed to bits he was perfect. I loved seeing Callum and Pete together it was another side of him i had not seen and i found it very attractive and loved him even more!!!!!!!!!!!

THE PROPOSAL

It was Christmas day 2005 and it was our first family christmas so it was special. After opening our prezzies i went to make brekkie when pete shouted me to come back in, i came round the corner to see pete on one knee with Callum in one arm and in his other hand was a box with a beautiful ring his words were " will you marry us " i was shocked even though i knew one day we would of course i said yes and put on the ring it was a perfect fit how very clever !!! The rest of the day i felt like i was floating on clouds that is one christmas i will never forget!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so that leads me to here we have set a date to get married September the 16 th 2006 at St Jhons church at 12 o clock and have our reception at The Moat house Hotel. Now the best bit starts the planning:D :D

So excited i tried on my dress again today and i am still madly in love with it so we have orded it, thankfully my parents are paying for it and it will be made by the begining of June. After trying on the dress again i have realised that silver looks much better than gold so i am changing my colours to

My dress a light taupe with ivory lace

Groom, best man and ushers will be either a darker taupe or chocolate brown

Bridesmaids will be chocolate dresses

and all jewlery and my tiara will be silver and dimontie

flowers and tabble decs will be ivory,silver and taupe


although knowing me that might change
