You two look sooo happy, fantastic, fantastic news, and ENORMOUS congratulations. More details obviously required from you both. Is that a Central Park lampost in the background of the photo or am I dreaming? (BTW love your coat Tina )
Also-LOVE your rings, chunky and modern with the right amount of bling! Its funny before we got married i just didn't like the look of wearing the two rings together, but now I LOVE it and feel its so much more complete.
Hope you are both full of that "warm inside, everything is wonderful, I'm so in love and so lucky to be so in love" newlywed feeling.
Happy honeymooning

I just thought of something, you two should have waited until next Wed. and then we could have shared our anniversary . Just kidding. We almost got married on the 4th too but decided we liked the 11th better. Congratulations again. So which date will you be celebrating, Jan. or June? June was a good month for us too. We started dating on June 22nd. Good choices .

What else do I want to know....OK here goes...your starter for ten..
-Did you have to book your wedding far in advance or did you decide relatively quickly to do it?
-Are you playing the "my husband" game ie calling T your husband at every moment and greeting to him as "husband" to get used to it? Padhraig used to call himself Mr Nead (Nead is his short name for me)
-Did you have family as witnesses/guests or did just the two of you go (my friend had a civil wedding over here a few days before her wedding ceremony/blessing and was really confused as to what to do)
-How did you celebrate afterwards? (you can censor this bit )
- Which anniversary will you celebrate? (i'd go for both!)
- How are the plans for the June wedding coming along? and the honeymoon? A friend is planning a trip to San Fran and I am so jealous, we were there last January and I am hankering to go back
Are you living in NYC for good now, bye bye Canada or are you still "commuting" til your papers come through? (LOL I typed committing which is apt too)
Huge congrats again, Padhraig send his best to you both too.

Ok here goes...
The wedding that we had was just a civil ceremoney. We do have the official real wedding booked for June though.
HA HA HA, yes we call each other husband and wife VERY often! He calls me Mrs. B. (His last name starts with a 'B'). It's pretty cute. I guess all newly weds to this.
His parents both came as witneses which meant a lot to us both.
How did we celebrate? The four of us went out for breakfast. And then we came home and he carried me into his apartment and then... you know... ha ha
Good question! Maybe we'll celebrate both. ha ha
The plans for the wedding are coming along. As you know, there are SO many details. We ordered te invitations the other day. We need to get a florist, photographer and a dj still. Tick toc... ha ha We should start thingking about booking our honeymoon. And it's going to be in San Fran which I love. I've only been there once though.
I'm here until my papers allow me to travel. I have to stay put and will go back to Canada for my stuff when I'm legally able to.
Thanks!!!
p.s. Any wedding tips you want to share?

That's a great report Tina, thanks for indulging my neverending curiosity!
It was lovely to have Tommy's parents there, it must have been so nice for them to be a part of it too.
The whole husband calling thing is fun. We are married 3 months now and the novelty hasn't worn off at all
We have a new name for the "you know"- it's called "honeymooning"! I never did get P to lift me over the threshold of our house as I was too tired and embarrassed (our door is very public and our neighbours are strange people who we don't know)
Good luck with all the paperwork- I'm sure that Tommy doesn't know his luck having you there all the time now
Sinead's wedding planning tips (well you DID ask!) -Agree a guest list ASAP (this is one of the few things that cause P and I endless hassle, especially with our parents- DO NOT, repeat DO NOT give your parents any say! Give them a number of people if you are letting them invite friends/family that they want to invite and make them stick to it or else do what I did, tell them "I thought that I would like to invite X and Y- mine were genuinely delighted that I wanted some of their friends there at all so they only asked me to add 2 couples which I conceded, we asked P's parents to give us a list of the people that they would like to ask to OUR wedding, their list was 140 people!)
-Try to be realistic about things and only fuss about things that are genuinely important (you will be amazed what you THINK is important at various stages over the next couple of months) This is the best piece of advice that anyone gave me.
-Give in to your intended on things that are more important to them than they are to you
-Don't get bogged down in the detail or the expense, the things people commented most on at our wedding were not the most expensive things, they were the most personal things that we had done, like writing our own vows, the music that we chose.
-Enjoy every minute of letting the wedding take over your life- enjoy the browsing in Bridal boutiques, the choosing the flowers, the lot.
-Websurf for ideas. (I know I don't need to tell you this but still) I'll email you a link with some good sites that I found for flowers as it was one thing that i knew zip about before I started looking. I found a fab bouquet online and everyone thought it was really unusual.
-Remember that what is important about the day is that you get to marry the man that you love and declare your love for him in front of friends and family.
-It WILL be the best day of your life, mine was

Yes, the planning was fun and the day was wonderful and I'll never forget it. But you know, the only thing that matters is that you walk down that aisle and get married. Nothing else really matters. I mean they matter, but you know? they're just details. What will people really remember? The love you share, having a good time with friends and family. Are they likely to remember tablecloths and flowers and what they ate? Not too likely. Expect things to go wrong - and keep a cool head and do your best, but the day of - que sera! One thing that worked with both of my mothers - they were allowed to give me advice, which I promised to consider and be open to, but so long as they respected my decision without arguing about it. It was a good deal.
