Planning, planning, planning
Since we got engaged, I have been online many evenings browsing the web to help plan the wedding. We found our reception site online and signed a contract on Friday! We have a date and a location for the wedding!! I am quite excited and relieved to have the reception taken care of. It has been a challenge planning the wedding from this side of the pond (we're having the wedding at home) but also easier in some ways. I've been able to do almost everything over email. I know it isn't the same as seeing the site in person but we went with a pretty safe option. I know there is a lot of planning left, but at least we have one thing done. So far, the planning has been stressful, but fun. But then, I like to plan social gatherings. :)

Oh well done on finding your reception venue! Its very daunting trying to find things like that online isn't it? we're still at the stage where we are wondering if we will get married abroad or at home, and the amount of info to take in is overwhelming at times!
Hi, i just read your online-comment. maybe you´ll find this strange - but i have a question. whenever my boyfriend and i go back to ireland to see his family we get the question: when are you getting married? (we are nearly 7 years together). if we got married we´d have the marriage in a reg.office in germany - and have a blessing in ireland and a party with family and friends. the both celebrations wouldn´t be very big - cause we´d have to pay twice! my boyfriends´ family though want to invite their many friends aswell (there are the parents and the 2 sisters and 2 brothers). they got really annoyed when we told them that only people that we invited would come to our wedding. my question: is it a traditional thing for the parents and sisters and brothers to invite their friends aswell?? we can´t afford to have such a big wedding as it then would be! im not scabby or anything - i just wonder why they get so annoyed.
Not being Irish, I don't know all the customs but from talking to frinds here, they are suprised that we, the couple, are the only ones inviting people. Most people seem to let their parents invite a certain number of people. A coworker's son is getting married and she has complained about the number of invitations she is "allowed" to send out and appalled that my parents don't get to send any or have any influence over the guest list.
