Unless there's an specific photographer you need to have/no one else will do or similar then I'd relax a bit. Dare I say, we can sometimes blow things out of proportion on here...?

  1Lucie Joined on 04-Sep-2009 Posts 723	Contact Unfortunatly in my area things seem to get booked up way in advance compared to most areas (not huge amount of choice)!!!! I desperatly wanted to get married in 2010 but it was impossible. I had to compromise with my date and i booked it in November 2009 for may 2011!

  Contact Mines in just over a year and I have booked the venue, registrar, got my dress and accessories and quite a few bits and bobs e.g. centrepieces etc in sales and stuff, booked my DJ, tog and videographer and have lots of things in the pipeline... I wouldnt worry you have plenty of time. I have made a year plan with jobs to do every month, maybe write it all down to get it clear in your mind and then break it up over the time you have left..  If you want a Rainbow, you have to put up with the Rain

  Contact We're 1 year and a month today! Yeah! We've booked venue, registrar and chosen the bridesmaids and my dress and picked the colour scheme - our jobs this month are to pick florist and DJ and hunt down a band - my sister is making invitations and all stationary so that job is nearly done as well!! When I chose a winter wedding and gleefully said it might even snow - my mum said be careful what you wish for - looking at this Winter in West Yorkshire she may have been right!!!!   Have fun with the rest of your planning!
