Hello!
This is my very first blog post... It's all very new to me so I hope you can be patient while I try not to ramble too much (I can't make any promises!)
Enjoy!

My name’s Amy. I’m originally from Northern Ireland but I moved to England about a
year and a half ago. I live here with the lovely Jim in a sometimes tidy terrace house in the centre of Leicester I work
in event management and Jim’s currently in the middle of his PhD.
Just over a year ago, Jim proposed. We started going out 10 ½ years ago, but his proposal was very much a surprise! One year from today, 17th May 2014, we will get married (!!!) and I have decided to write a blog over the course of the next year as we plan our day. I’m having the time of my life researching and planning and some of the things I come across might be useful for other people planning weddings.
After James proposed, we had a brief chat about how we’d like our wedding day. Brief, mostly because I was petrified if I talked about it as much as I wanted to, he’d change his mind! We had similar ideas, mine maybe slightly more developed , but it was a great starting point.
The main thing we agreed on however was that we wanted the day to be fun and to really reflect us as a couple. So…as a couple…what are we?
He is a drummer, currently for a Leicester based UKHC punk band. He cycles everywhere (including the 30 mile
round trip to university each day) and plays for an anti-facist football team.
He loves reading and gardening, and hates shopping and wearing a suit. He is
the oldest sibling of 4 and his sister recently made us the proudest aunt and
uncle ever to a beautiful baby girl. As I mentioned above he is currently
midway through his PhD, researching the links between Punk music and Anarchism
in a contemporary global setting. Which means he spends a lot of his time
reading books and listening to music, effectively living the dream! Right now he's on a 3 week
research trip in Poland. He’s very intelligent and passionate about what
he does. He is an amazing cook and
generally can turn out a restaurant worth version of most things I suggest. He makes an amazing curry and lots of brilliant
Mexican flavoured dishes.
I’m Amy, I’m vegetarian and work for an
event management company in the Midlands. I was lucky enough to study my MSc in
Events & Festival Management in the beautiful city of Edinburgh and have
had the best time since graduating; working with some amazing people on some fantastic
music, fashion, and charity events. I love music (all sorts), shopping (particularly for home furnishing, candles and make-up) and my favourite place in the
world is the hairdressers (my mum’s fault!!). I’m a fair weather runner and
boxfit-er and like a tidy house - something James and I have differing
opinions on!
Together we like to be outside, walking or gardening. We love live music and love going to gigs together. We love entertaining and are happiest when hosting dinners or parties for our friends, Jim does the cooking while I pour the drinks (and do the dishes). We love reading, although rarely the same books. We thoroughly enjoy a semi-regular rum and burrito night and a snuggle up in front of the fire with a good book or film, a large mug of tea each and a packet of bourbons (vegan of course).
