Couples getting married on 28/July/2018 in Ontario

Hiya!

Its awesome to know our special day will also be a special one for so many other couples. Congrats to everyone!!!

My best friend and hero of 16 years are tying the knot at the historic Heintzman House in Thornhill-Markham. It is the most romantic and elegant venue! Quite reasonably priced too. And it is perfect for me... since I am a huge history buff. Its like it was all meant to be.

With four months left to go until the big day, I have all my vendors booked and settled. There are other smaller things left to take care of like the rings, vows, centerpieces, finalize the cake, but the main thing is my dress, groom tux rental and bridal party attire.

How are you guys getting along with your wedding planning?

Cheers,

Hello,

So much activity on here - love it!

Right now I have put a deposit on the venue, as they are already booking two years in advance (crazy right?). We had three dates in mind and two of them were taken, so we jumped on the third.

Booking the venue is actually a very touching story. My grandmother passed away about 9 years ago and left me a little bit of money, I used most of it to get through school - but kept a little bit aside to spend on something I know Grandma would have wanted to help with. Even in the tough times when I was broke I never touched a cent, and being able to pay the deposit for the venue with it was very emotional for me. I think it is what she would have wanted!

I've been "planning" my wedding for years - even when I was not even thinking about marriage. Most of the details are actually done already, but it's too early to start buying things because then I'd have to store them for two years.

The dress - well - that's a good story too, which requires a bit of background.

I had met my fiance much earlier but was already with someone and planning to move to another province (which I did). We stayed in touch and he was actually a big support for me when things were going badly. He said, "I know you have to go, but when you come back (and I know you will) I'll be here for you." He was right, six months later I was back, and he was the one who drove to get me from the airport.

About a week after I moved home I was walking downtown with my Mother and we passed this dress shop. There was a gorgeous dress in the window display and I casually said to her "that's my wedding dress" - she said, well I think you'd better get engaged first. Fast forward and here I am, I went into the shop (the dress no longer in the window), and walked right up to the rack - picked it out in 30 seconds - and said, "this was in the window a while back, right?" The woman was impressed and said that yes, it was. I put it on and that was it...no other dress needed to be tried - although I did put on a different style just for fun. Actually took photos in both to send to everyone and 90% picked "MY" dress. Hahaha.

Whew, that went on a little longer that I anticipated.

Anyway...thanks for the links, I will be sure to check them out!
