So we had our first meeting with the wedding planner today, who is a lovely lady called Rachael. When we got there, there was a Christmas wedding shoot going on for a magazine. Christmas is getting earlier and earlier! The meeting mostly consisted of her asking if we'd booked stuff and us saying no! (or yes, if it is the photographer as that's about it so far, in terms of us booking people). Oh, and going through all the options for the day and letting them know the names of various people involved. So it all seems very organised which is good, and we'll get a preliminary list of what'll happen on the day. Now on to book the rest of the suppliers :)
After our meeting, we went for a walk around the grounds, which are much bigger than I remember from our last visit. Excitingly, the woods were spookily decorated with appropriately scary halloweeny things, as part of their 'Haunted Hedingham' activities. There were lots of fake corpses hanging from trees, speakers in the trees to play creepy noises and hands sticking out of graves! I'm glad it was day time - I'd have been terrified if it was in the dark, and if I was six. Though I'd have loved it too! Proper exploring. Here's some piccies:
Happy Halloween!

Beginning of the blog
Hey chaps! As many of you are aware, I am now engaged to the lovely Lyn (I know - she said yes!). We're currently planning our wedding as I write this (or, at least, Lyn is planning it while I muck around setting this up!) and we're beginning to realise that both of our respective families are scattered all over the world (though Lyn can't quite match Guam).
We talked it over and thought it'd be nice if we started a short blog, just to keep everyone in the loop - especially those family members who might not make it due to ill health or distance.
So far, we've booked our venue - Hedingham Castle - as you can see from the back drop. It was built in 1140 and there are other historical facts about it, probably. Anyway, there are nice pictures (and facts) at this website. We were lucky enough to get it on a Saturday in August next year (13/08/2011)! And that's about all we've managed to get done so far.
Anyway, enough babbling!
Hope everyone is hale, hearty and happy!
