Simon met his fair lady now just over two years, having found each other using 'modern technology' let's say. After just over a year together, whilst enjoying a pre-Christmas weekend away in Venice, and whilst suffering with man flu, Simon popped the question whilst overlooking the Grand Canal. She said yes.
Simon & Laura live in Bristol, with two cats, one horse and one tortoise. One day they are hoping to move to sunny Italy and start making bambinos. Before then however, they have the small matter of the wedding...
Ever wondered what a wedding is like from a Grooms perspective? Over the next 12 months Simon, one of the founders of The Bridal File will regulary blog about the preparations for his & Laura's big-day preparations!
This is better!

Short blog post, but a worthy one as it's been a productive day! String Quartet confirmed - details to follow, suits designed - through a VERY cool online designer, invite samples ordered - again details to follow, and finally we have an appointment to see the florist on Saturday followed by a visit to the venue to measure up for dance floors, lighting and all that jazz.
Not bad for one day.
Had a conversation with a friend the other day about how their wedding was a nightmare keeping everyone happy. Being honest I didn't understand. This is our day, we are planning it, we are paying for it, so frankly everyone else can just turn up, smile, eat, and dance. Although the table plan with separated parents might be fun... with my 'questionable' sense of humour however I might just put them all on one table...
