About 6 weeks after Mr M and I started dating we talked about marriage. I think we both knew right from the start that that was where it was heading. I had learnt from all my past relationships what the good and the bad things were to have in relationships and he had all the good ones.
And so we coasted along knowing that it was going to happen, it was just a matter of when. The when became more of an issue when we both realised we were in our 30s and we needed to get a move on. Mr M really felt broody and longed for kiddies but we both wanted to be married before we opened that chapter.
When Mr M popped the question the plan was that we wouldn’t have a very long engagement, the waiting had been done, and we wanted the babies quickly.
There has been many a joke and comment that we will be having a honeymoon baby and Mr M encouraged it!
Now that money is tight and we’ve had to take a loan to cover some of the cost of the wedding, it’s looking like we might have to postpone the baby making. (And that’s assuming that all would go smoothly anyway.)
It seems very ironic that the one thing we needed in order to have babies – marriage – is now going to make us have to wait for them.

Ahhh I know how you feel we're planning to start a family asap after the wedding but now that the costs are mounting we're wondering how we will be fixed for money (eeeek). Think that we may just leave it with the fate of the Universe after the big day (as I'll be 30 this year and Garry is heading towards 33) xx
