I'm getting married!

What lovely news Ruby. I am soooo. pleased for you, and you can bet your bottom dollar that all us GN's that followed your trials and tribulations in a previous incarnation . will also want to be your virtual bridesmaids. Gosh what larks, do tell all.

Every happiness and many days of
To you both .

Delighted to hear your wonderful news. I wish you both a very happy life together
As has already been said please keep us up to date with all the arrangements, what you are going to wear, if you need me as a mature bridesmaid (I know another gransnetter has already offered but the more the merrier), the venue, the honeymoon........Oh everthing!! It's so exciting

Congratulations! Have a look at the British Humanist Association site re your wedding. They help you have a beautiful personal ceremony.

Ok...apt? Was that the hint?

Lovely to read such news - good for you. I wish you both every happiness

Where did the name Ruby come from?
The OP's ring is a ruby but no mention of her name being Ruby.

Wow! Warm congratulations BuryPud.
I hope you have a truly memorable day. ??????
Is this your first? Is it his first?
Do tell us.

Many congratulations! I married again at 50, and although we had a small registry office thing, followed by a family lunch at a pub, I think in retrospect I would have liked a wedding in a NT property.

Having said that, wherever you choose will be special, and I certainly remember my small wedding far better than I remember the big fancy one years ago.

Congratulations. May it be a long and happy one.

Congratulations to you both! How lovely to hear some happy news.If you can find a small hotel that does weddings it will probably be more personal than a large venue.Or take a look at this site for ideas - www.hitched.co.uk

Congratulations ! We got married at. 53 and 64, and just had the family . The venue was a local restaurant which does weddings in the garden. I walked down the aisle ( the path ) with my son, to the music of ABBA singing " I do, I do" , what a lovely day . Do it your way and enjoy every minute.

Warmest congratulations to you both!

Congratulations! Wherever you decide on will be the best for you both, good luck and happiness

Utter happiness to you both.

Congratulations. My mum had been married 30years when she was widowed at 50. Five years later she married a man 7 years younger than herself. They were married for 39years. She was so lucky to have two very good husbands and I hope you will get as much joy as she did..

How lovely! I wish you both every happiness.

Go to Cliveden. I saw a wedding there on Saturday and it's magical. If you go for their small package it's not unreasonable for an incredible experience.

Or don't. I am sure that goodwill and romance will make anything special.

Congratulations to you both!
No ideas for a wedding but "shall we all go and buy a hat?"

Congratulations ! My DD and SIL became engaged on the shores of Loch Lomond. Then they both always wanted to go to New York .. so they did, and married in the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park ... it was wonderful. So pick your dream destination and have a ceremony and honeymoon all in one ... wish you every happiness ?

Wishing you great happiness and contentment. Congratulations.

Congratulations Ruby and how thrilling to know you can quite obviously pick up more than a few bugs when Hospital bound!!
A lovely heart warming story and although I have no venues to offer, I do love the sound of the Woodland Trust wedding that BBevan mentioned..............a very Springlike start into, hopefully, a life of happy wedded bliss.

Congratulations lovely news.

many congratulations to both of you

Really lovely news Ruby. Congratulations. Good luck with the wedding planning, I hope your venue is just what you are looking for. Will be looking out for your progress
