Some of you have already heard about a million times (sorry!) that Jake popped the question on our New Years Eve trip to Disneyland Paris on our little balcony of the hotel room - it was literally the last thing I expected to happen! So for the last 6 months or so, I have been in full wedding mode. Unfortunately, saving for a house is delaying wedding planning slightly - it turns out that saving for both a house and a wedding is hard when you have an unhealthy shopping habit. Who knew?!
Having a slightly longer engagement, however, means I get to take more advantage of the free Prosecco, Pimms, wedding cake, macarons and so much more at wedding fairs! I’m also not the best at making big decisions quickly, so the more venues we can visit, the better. So far I have only been to 3 or 4 wedding fairs - with a few more coming up in the Summer. Annoyingly, Jake has had to work for most of them but I love taking my mum along as well! As you can probably tell from this photo...
My favourite venue so far is definitely Kelmarsh Hall (which is just outside of Market Harborough in Northamptonshire), and is a strong contender for when we eventually come to setting the date officially. With the ornate decor in each part of the hall, the pretty pastel colours of the rooms and the picturesque gardens, it really is a beautiful place. It's definitely worth a visit anyway, even if you're just looking for something to do one afternoon!
