If I had a pound for everyone who said, "I'm going on a diet for the wedding" our debts would be cleared. Personally I think a ban on snacking between meals does the job, but I spotted this article in The Times today, and thought of you.The Wedding DietYou’re getting married – or it’s your best friend’s wedding, and you want to look your best. Amanda Ursell has the diet to help you lose 5lb in

Heather and I have been surprised at the number of people who have said to us 'There's nothing on your wedding list' so far.You're right, there is very little there. The reason for that is, we didn't expect anyone to be looking at the lists until a bit closer to the wedding and consequently we're yet to add items. There are a few but Heather is working out what we need and will put them online

I've been to a couple of weddings over the past week. One was the marriage of my good friends Chris and Angela. David has done a fantastic photo essay of the day, and you can view it by clicking on the picture below:On Easter Saturday Heather and I attended the wedding of our college friends, Guann-Yeu and Cathy.It was a lot of funand together we picked up some do's and don'ts for our own Big Day.

Apparently I'm 75% the same face as Steve Buscemi, a great actor who I admire, but not exactly a heart-throb. And if you get a little less of a match, I quickly end up sharing a face with that well known Asian celebrity, Shigeki Maruyama. What do you think, is there really a resemblance?

 I was looking through a photo album at home and found this photograph of myself in my father's arms. I think it's a really great picture. Hard to believe I was once a small, fat, blonde baby.

We're thinking about wedding lists. While we don't really like the idea, it seems a bit like standing outside the church shaking a collection tin, a number of people have said they'd like to see ours to get us a gift. So we're going to put together a rather minimal one of essentials, leaving people to their own imagination if they want to elaborate. We're doing an amazon.co.uk one for all the

I read a piece in the paper today I thought I would share."Fewer people are choosing to marry than ever before. For every 1000 unmarried men aged 16 or over, just 24.2 tied the knot in 2005 - down from 27.8 in 2004. The corresponding figures for women fell from 24.6 to just over 21. In total the number of marriages also fell to the lowest levels since 1896...The average age for a marriage is now

It's ok. It's all legal now.Today I went and gave official notice of my intention to marry Heather. I went to the registry office in Cardiff where I was ushered into a room by a power-dressing woman with luminous pink lipstick and a well practiced smile. If the lights had gone out her glow in the dark lips would have convinced me I was being interviewed by the Cheshire Cat.She asked me a few

It's snowing in Cardiff! Lots of and lots of it. So Naiomi and I made a snow man. Only it started looking more like a snow woman so we changed it. Any name suggestions?and a rare one of the cat being still and cuddly for good measure.

 I live in Cardiff with a cat. Well two cats, but this is one of them. He's called Moosh, after a Japanese Samurai warrior. The likeness ends there, but he's very sweet and marches around the bathroom as if it was his castle.

Truth be told, I've been fairly lax about this whole wedding planning thing so far. This week I have changed that. I have been given the job of organising, or at least making some headway on honeymoon plans. Honeymoon.Any idea why it is called that? It's a funny word don't you think? Post a comment if you know anything about it.So far we had the exceedingly generous offer of a house in Florida.

Friday August 4thAs if we hadn't gone far enough yesterday, today we thought we would get full value out of our rental car and go even further. How about the beautiful Cinque Terre (five lands). Sure, sounds good. So we hopped into the car reasonably early for us, although still after lunch, and headed for La Spezia. It was a gorgeous day, the sky was clear and the temperature was hot. I was

A year forward from this date and we will be getting married! We thought we should go and see some sights, as it was a Thursday after all. Originally Florence was on the cards, then Assisi, but once we had a look on a map it looked like a 4 hour drive, so we settled on the wonderful medieval town of Siena, about an hour south of Florence, so about 2 hours from us. The weather had other ideas. We

Wed 2nd AugustI have far and away the most uncomfortable bed in the house. It sags in the middle, and is in the hottest part of the house. Consequently, I didn't sleep all that well, especially when a fly decided that I looked like a perfect landing zone. In the panic off hearing a buzz next to my ear I managed to hit myself in the face. All in a good night.We had an item on the agenda for today.

and so it continuesMonday 31 JulyThe first weekday arrives and we are still without milk or water. Dry cereal for breakfast is becoming tedious. Surely the supermarkets are open now? After a leisurely morning we check with our landlady next door who tells us that they open after mid day. How do they ever do any business when they're shut all the time? The afternoon heat rises and we drive down

Heather and I have just returned from our holiday in Italy with my family. We are now both full of the anticlimax of post-holiday blues, and the realisation of impending work for heather and study for me. It was Heather's first visit to Italy, and I am pretty sure it won't be her last. We filled 512mb of our brand new memory card with about 300 photographs which, as soon as I get hold of them

Heather came over to Ireland last week for the wedding of two friends of ours, David and Clare. I was Groomsman for this occasion and so took the opportunity to dress in the finest regalia. I've started uploading some photos onto flickr. Click on the photograph below to view the set. More will be added as I get them edited and up.

I've managed to sneak a photo from the shady government offices where Andrew does his work. Here he is, getting stuck in with folks building his gas pipe. Obviously the only reason for looking at this photo is the brand new, (no mud) trendy footwear he has acquired. And how his coat manages to look more like a nice grey skirt under his lovely high visibility jacket that is all the rage this

Heather is the first of her clan to set foot in Ireland. To the relief of her family she returned from her first visit unscathed. Since then she has trod the lounges of numerous airports with the familiarity of a Sherpa trekking through the Himalayas.

We have a church, a reception venue and a likely wedding date. The cheque is in the post so unless something goes wrong we are getting married at 12.30pm on the 3rd August 2007 at Pontefract Congregational Church followed by a reception at Monk Fryston Hall Hotel.Yeay!

Heather and I are together at the moment. For this we have to thank english half term. After handing in her 8000 word assignment on Wednesday she hopped on a plane bound for Belfast. We're up in Coleraine on the North coast at the moment and the weather has been delightful. I'm nursing a sun-kissed face at the moment which apparently 'gets redder every time I look at it'.

I just learnt an interesting thing. Apparently, the Chinese have a phrase for when you see a beautiful girl with an ugly guy. I won't write mandarin here as I haven't quite mastered it but it translates literally as 'a flower in a cowpat'!

On a rather geeky note, if you type in "heather andrew wedding" into Google, guess which pages comes out number one? That's right, this one. Wohoo!

Sorry for the lack of posting here, but Heather is deep in thought, and was rather hoping to post our reception venue. Unfortunately, we still don't know where that is. Not to worry, she has said that she will post her pontifications shortly. It's down to two venues, but with pros and cons on both sides. Watch this space.

Heather has been back in her native West Yorkshire this weekend looking at possible wedding locations. The feedback is mixed, some nice, some dark, some carpets threadbare, some with no wheelchair access etc etc. Doubtless when she gets back to the land of broadband she'll update us all with her thoughts.

Apologies to all those residing in suppressing one-party states. Apparently the Great Firewall of China has blocked http://heatherandandrew.blogspot.com from view to the Chinese population. It's a shame.

My sister Beth is to be one of Heather's bridesmaids. Over the last few weeks she has been bottle-feeding an orphaned lamb with a weak bladder. Her name is Poppy, but she is also known to us as Shanks, Roast and Cutlet.

We've decided to get married in my home church in yorkshire. The website is: http://www.pontefractevangelical.co.ukHowever it appears to be still under construction as there is nothing in the 'what we believe' section. I can assure you this is not the case.

The itinery is now decided. I have booked to go and see Woolley hall at 9am (picture in Andrew's previous post) followed by a visit to Nostell Priory at 10.15. This place looks wonderful but is like to to be expensive as it is owned by the national trust.Then at 11am I am driving what I am told is 5 minutes down the road to see Walton hall which again looks lovely in the picture (apart from the

I came into the office today and a frustrated looking colleague of mine spun around with pointed finger when he heard my footsteps. "Andrew," he said, "you're going the wrong way!". "Never," he continued, "get married and on no accounts have children!"It transpired he had been called out in the rain to change the tyre on the car of his offspring. I told him that if you change a man's tyre he will

The search for a new England manger could be done in half the time with the Penfold girls on the case. The painstaking research of Mrs Penfold has provided the first of what is doubtless going to be many Yorkshire candidates. It's not a hotel, it's not a wedding-by-numbers place, it's a stately home. Or a hall as they like to be known. Information is thin on the ground, but I do know that it's

Our blog now has a news feed (it's that orange RSS button to the right). This means that if you are so inclined, and want to be the first to know exactly when we publish a new post, you can. For the uninitiated out there, a news feed gives you the first couple of lines of a story, post or article. I reccomend Wizz RSS News Reader for Firefox internet browser. Oh, and it was reported that only

Heather has enlisted her highly organised Mother onto the reception venue hunt. Her brief is as follows: 'Andrew doesn't want anything tacky or off the shelf'. Armed with this instruction she has canvassed Ministers and frequent wedding-goers to produce a point scoring scattergraph. That way we should get the best, most cost-efficient and fun-inducing option. At least I think that's what she's

It was actually a rugby match, the semi final of the European Cup, with for the first time, two Irish teams competing. So the wedding location. The Chapel in Catz would be great, but it's looking too expensive at the moment, and a bit rigid in what we can do. You have to pay for this that and the other, even if you don't use them, and you have to do what they say and when. If we didn't have to

We have a problem... we don't know where to get married. On the one hand we like the idea of having the reception and photos in a pretty Cambridge college setting. However we also need a church in which to have the ceremony. For various reasons I'm not overly keen on using the College Chapel, and my church here in Cambridge does not have a building in which it regularly meets.The second (and

In the Bible the first question my namesake, the apostle Andrew asked Jesus upon meeting him was 'where are you staying?' Perhaps not the most intellignent introduction you could make when talking to the Son of God. But it does signify the importance of birthplace and family in Eastern culture. People scoffed at Jesus saying, can anything good come out of Nazareth? You'll see where I'm going with

Just thought I would add a picture of where Andrew proposed.

Apparantly I have to write a post quickly so that it doesn't look like Andrew is the only one getting married....he is not :-)Being engaged is exciting. I've been back in school for 2 days now and as nobody noticed anything at all on tuesday I resorted to waving my ring in people's faces this morning. Although it almost ended in tears this afternoon when I nearly lost it down the side of a seat

I thought we could do with having a photograph of us, so you know who we're talking about. This one below was taken at the St. Catharine's May Ball in 2004.

Andrew says: I'm in work today and have the task of telling the folks I'm engaged. I don't have a nice diamond ring to flash about. After a long conversation about licensing arrangements and Gas Order regulations I mentioned it to my boss. He looked startled and stunned. 'Congratulations' he stammered, 'I had no idea...' he trailed off. We moved the conversation back to more familiar territory of

So I asked her to marry me on Saturday the first of April. As we sent text messages over the ether to friends and family word quickly filtered back, 'is this for real?'. Sure is, why wouldn't it be? Ah, the date. Somehow the tradition of playing a prank on that particular day had eluded me, I completely forgot. Anyway, it has to be before noon or the joke is on you or something? Yeah so she said
