We did it!
I guess with all the excitement that took place over 6 months ago, we kind of forgot to finish posting on this site what happened. Fear not, everything went through fine, and Cat and I have been happily married since the big day. It was told to us that it would be the best day [...]
4 weeks to go…
We have just 4 weeks tomorrow until our big day. We’ve finally started to realise how close it is, and the nerves are starting to grow. Things have picked up again in a big way with the jobs we have to do, so here is a run down of them. We recently visited my parents [...]
The light at the end of the tunnel
After all the months of planning and preparation, we are entering the final stages of the wedding marathon. Here are some updates to bring things up to speed: – All the invitations have finally been made, the last of which have gone to my work colleagues today. We’ve had quite a few replies from those [...]
Sorry to anyone who paid for their invite!
When we finally got round to making and writing out all of our invitations, we did everything possible to ensure they were made as perfectly as possible. Once we’d popped them in the post we felt our job was done. Sadly it didn’t turn out exactly that way, and we’ve heard from some people who [...]

We had previously bought both our commitment rings, as well as Cat’s engagement ring in Lisbon, so we wanted to carry on the tradition. We knew we wanted 19.2 caret gold (Portuguese gold [...]
The Register Office
In the UK as well as many other places (all but Las Vegas) it is necessary to register the upcoming marriage at the Register Office. Cat booked an appointment a few weeks back and we went yesterday. After ensuring we were who we said we were, we had to individually answer a series of questions [...]
The venue contract
Picking our venue was only half the battle. Once we’d decided where to hold our wedding, the next step was to let them know, so they could send us out a contract. We got in touch, and after lots of questions, emails bounced forwards and backwards, we got a copy of the contract in the [...]
Venue hunting
Last weekend Cat and I travelled up to Derby to try and find a venue to host our wedding. We plan to have the ceremony, breakfast and evening reception all under one roof, but there are a limited number of places registered to hold marriages. So armed with a list of a dozen or so, [...]
The Best Man
One of my duties is to find someone who knows me well enough, and is responsible enough to act as my best man on the big day – taking care of me, and making sure I turn up. I could think of several candidates that would fit the bill, but one name stood out from [...]
