Michigan-Detroit

I'm new!

Hi everyone!

I am newly engaged as of 4/8/13 and just got to put my ring on for the first time tonight because it was a tad to small.  I am so overly excited to be marrying my sweetie!  We've been together for just over 3 years and even though we've talked about getting married, he 100% surprised me with the proposal and such a beautiful ring picked out all on his own.  I'm 34, he is 36 and this is the first marriage for both of us.

We haven't put much together yet, just have agreed that it will be in the next 6-12 months-ish, I'll wear a dress, he'll wear a suit, we'll have lots of desserts, a photographer and our family & friends.  We're likely going to be on what I consider a TIGHT budget, but we will make it work and it will be lovely no matter what...even if all we have is desserts and a photographer, lol!

Can't wait to really jump into the planning and get this marriage going!

  • Congrats and welcome to the Detroit board!

    Looking forward to seeing all your plans come together. If you need any assistance, at the top of this board there is a push pin post "Vendors", where brides have entered their vendors and reviews of them after their wedding.

    The ladies on this board are very helpful.

    Good luck.
  • Congratulations and welcome to the board! I'm really happy for you both.  I highly recommend that you check out the Budget board for great tips on how to have a beautiful wedding on a tight budget.  Then check out the reviews at the top of this board from other brides to get an idea of what things cost around here and use the knot's tools like the checklist and budgeter to keep things organized.  Once you've picked a date and know how many guests you'll have and what your budget will be go ahead and get all the big things out the way right away to secure your date like your ceremony/reception venue and your photographer.  You can take care of the smaller things later and will be able to go dress shopping in peace once you have your place locked down.    Other than that you'll be just fine.

  • Thanks ladies! We are just so excited. We are leaning more towards the 1012 month idea now just to be able to have more time to make decisions. We are leaning towards a navy blue green color palette...we'll see!
