I don't think there's too much need ...True! I don't think there's too much need for tradition in a wedding these days anyway. So I'm having the white dress, but even if I was having the wedding here I'd happily walk down the aisle with my fiancé, or see him in the morning before the ceremony etc! Don't believe in not doing those things lol. <br />Well I have paid a local wedding planner and it does give you peace of mind, we paid a deposit to her to secure our date, she has been emailing me about the paperwork recently as it's just under 3 months to go now. It's nice to have her at the end of an email - there are a few things to do before we go with paper work so she has been explaining everything and answering any questions. <br />She provides witnesses, I assume one will be her! <br />Oh I haven't heard about paying for an extra seat, I don't think that's right... I know one girl who's putting hers in a suitcase with the rest of the luggage but I would feel worried about it going missing! <br />So I'm taking mine as my hand luggage. All the passports etc will have to go in fiancés bag and mine will just be a small hard suitcase suitable for the cabin with my dress in it!<br />It will be a squash but my auntie works in the wedding dress industry and says that they often come rolled in tiny boxes when shops order them so I will make it fit somehow!<br />Might have to steam the creases out when we get there but that's ok :)<br />We went to Australia (think I spoke to you about it before!) last year and I would have loved to do it out there but we didn't have our house sorted at the time so couldn't afford it.<br />It would be an amazing place to get married :) xxRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322070842508221120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630169201281185617.post-76404610598696682852014-05-28T12:29:15.842-07:002014-05-28T12:29:15.842-07:00Aw I'm totally the same.

How will you get witnesses? Is it annoying to get the dress there, I read somewhere you have to pay for it to have its own plane seat?! xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494891403492382629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630169201281185617.post-21556339131078156872014-05-28T11:34:34.468-07:002014-05-28T11:34:34.468-07:00Thank you :) You should really do what feels right...Thank you :) You should really do what feels right for you, I considered a small wedding here before we go like you said, but we have a big family on both sides and it would just be awkward to only invite a few people!<br />The thought of walking down the aisle and doing the vows in front of everyone was just too much for me - at the end of the day it's about me and my fiancé - I just want to be married to him! A ceremony in front of loads of people is just not what I want. <br />Only me & him need to be there... Sorry if that sounds selfish lol!<br />People were obviously upset/annoyed but it will be old news soon and they still get to come to the party/see the dress if they want.<br />Do what feels right to you :) x x<br />Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322070842508221120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630169201281185617.post-86379393585777876132014-05-27T12:08:38.543-07:002014-05-27T12:08:38.543-07:00We have so much in common about this and I'm ...We have so much in common about this and I'm glad it's not just me! I got engaged in January and whilst I'm not necessarily in a mega rush to get married, as we are going to Australia in October I thought it'd be good to do it there, just the two of us, but I have family that are upset about it too. I don't like the fuss either. Thinking about doing a registry office job here the day before we go abroad so people can come but for the same price I can do that abroad anyway! Got to think what we want, like you said.

This brings back very happy memories for me. When shopping for my dress, I was convinced I wanted a full skirted dress with a short veil. I ended up with a fishtail dress and a long veil! So you give very good advice - try on everything!
