.. this is all over? That's it, I'll be a married lady and a wife I'll have to stop thinking about our wedding, stop the planning and the preparation, and get on with life.
How?! I have spent so much of my time planning this one day, what will I do with my time once this is over (apart from live here on Groovy of course!)
Yeah, its going to be very weird. A colleague from work is getting married next year (she thinks) so I am looking forward to helping her if she needs it We had a sneaky peek at some dresses this morning!
Most of my time after the wedding will be taken up with dieting and getting healthy (no way am I going to start trying for a baby whilst at this size.... my knees would give out!) and saving for our own house.
I'm still intending to hang around groovy though!!
We are thinking of moving after the wedding. Been at our house for almost 4 years now and just feel we have 'done' the area we live in. We want to move to an old cottage somewhere. If we do decide to move and put our house back on the market I suppose that will keep us busy.
It does help to have a new "project". We had the house move, now wondering whats going to happen once the house is finished. May have to start making babies
There will be loads of stuff to do Bee, you could move jobs, take up a new hobby, go to night school, move house, re decorate your house, start pilates or yoga, do a course on alternative therapy, read the whole works of jane austen (I did this one year), read Dickens, make babies, help others with wedding plans, do an internet design course (you'd be good at that bee), organise parties for birthdays, go all different places with your new husband, watch movies, learn a new quote every day, re design your garden, go on ready steady cook
Definately have a project to work on, ours was the house, we'd only moved in 4 weeks before the wedding so spent the time after the wedding doing it up!
Last year our project was the conservatory, this year it's the garden (and diet, I'm exactly the same as AngelaM, lost weight before having babies!!) next year it will be babies, or fast cars. Not sure which yet, but I think the cars are winning (they don't hurt me, just the bank balance )

It is really strange when "It's all over"............ I had a few things to keep me busy, Move (straight after the honeymoon), sort the house out, start a new job, it certainly kept me busy!
Sounds like you've a few ideas....... don't forget that final option, BABIES (Only teasing hun..... they'll come when you're ready & not because you need a new project! )
An OU course sounds like a good idea, any ideas what you want to study?

Well I already have a course in mind, it's Psychology I'm still reading the text book I bought to go with the course. Worried because I've not finished reading it yet and maybe that I am not finding it as interesting as I first thought it woule be? Having said that I keep the book at work, so do not get to read it much. If I were to take it home I'd probably get into it more, away from people and the phones ringing etc.
H2B will be 30 2 weeks after honeymoon so a surprise party and also a surprise weekend to Rome will be the order of the day so he can see what a lovely wife I am- (and then do the same for me!! teehee)
I'm bridesmaid for my best mate in a year so hoping that I can totally takeover her day (not really, oh well maybe a tiny bit)

I was pregnant about three seconds after getting married so that's been my new project - you should try not to let it leave a huge hole in your life otherwise you'll feel dissatisfied with what you now have! A new project to while away a few weeks or months stops that from happeneing!

It will be strange when all the planning has gone...:confused:
But hopefully we will have new projects...married life probably won't be that different for me as we live together and already act like husband and wife anyway!
I'm going to spend the few weeks after trying to sign my new name! It is going to be quite long so could take me a while...mmmm. Babies will come shortly after but that that shortly!
NIKKI - when are you actually due? You must be about 5/6 months gone if you conceived 3 seconds after your wedding!!
BIANCA - I did a psych degree...it was quite good but you will never get into the books - they are THAT boring!! I still passed it though

On the way home last night h2b and I more or less decided we were going to move after the wedding. Hurray! We want to find a cottage in the country rather than a town. Found a few lovely places yesterday but wont really look until the end of the summer. He said he wants a new project too, bless
I'd say it will be a couple of years before we move as T wants to pay off the mortgage so to have a nice size amount for down payment on a house....pity! I would love to move more into the country...have a stairs to go up to bed...a back garden of my own...pass neighbours (all of which I would know!)on the street and say hello....get involved in the village fair...ok, perhaps not the latter! Best of luck with the move!!!!
I don't think there will be a huge gap after our wedding...as I have so much time on my hands and a year to organise it stuff was just done as went along and didn't exactly take up days...infact I would go so far to say that the amount of time I have put into the wedding todate would amount to less than a week! But then again, so far everything has run smoothly enough, thanks be to God!

To my acute embarrassment, I was 6 months married LAST weekend and THIS weekend I will be 26 weeks (6 months) pregnant! I don't hang about when I decide to get married and start a family!
