so many times have i started writing an update - but either leave it, delete it or just never get round to finishing the post.. but tis time...i think
As some will remember, we got engaged back in April - then we started looking at planning - until in May our idiots of a council decided they wanted to flatter ours, and 300 other homes in our village - its taken us all summer to stop the plans (the scheme collapsed by the end of June/early July when 500 people turned up to a public meeting to discuss the plans with the idiots behind the plan - and through July and August we where tied up making sure demolision was off the adgenda, as well as a the work that may go on is what the village wants not want the council decides it wants us to have, not to mention joining up with many other residents groups who in total are fighting at a National level against our goverments scheme to demolish 100,000-500,000 homes across the North of England - from Liverpool to Kingston upon Hull, Stoke on trent to Newcastle upon Tyne- just to give you an idea of scale we are up against
seems the tide is turning, are we the residents are winning slowly - but hey ho thats another post....
with the final throes of the scheme in Stacksteads faiding away and the consultants spending the last of the areas funding of daft ideas of ''ecohomes'' built under ground in a wildlife preserve by the River Irwells flood defense measures... we felt it was time to get back on with the wedding planning...
so over the last couple of weeks our attention has returned to the pressing matter - last night we went for a meeting with the Vicar of my old Church... and as a result - the church is booked, and a date set (as you''ll see from Caroline''s (Ironlace) post in the Brides in Waiting) for Friday 19th May 2006
Reception is sorted as well - Caz'' folks back garden - since we are going for small and intimate. A workmate who is a classic car fan is acting as chauffer for her to take her to the church in a Jaguar MkII
We went for a first look at wedding dresses last weekend for some ideas on shapes and styles... and this weekend will be heading over to another bespoke bouteque to try on some gowns there - something a little different than the usual white/ivory gown...
so there you go
hopefully i''ll get back into posting here a bit more in the near future.
