Take notice

Well its all done.We have given notice of our intention to marry!
We got wet going in as the heavens decided to open as we were walking from the car.
I went in first and the registrar just asked to see my documents and then asked my name my age my address, my fathers ocupation and if he was still alive. The she asked me Daniel's full name and job and if his address was the same as mine. The date time and place of our wedding... and i think thats about it then i went out and sent Daniel in and he got the same as me. Then we went in together and she told us our notices will be up on the notice board for 16 days so that if anyone wants to object they can. Then on the 29th of july we can go in and get our certificates of intention to marry and then they need to be sent to the ipswich registrar to be ready for our wedding day!

Flowers flowers everywhere


Haven't been on again for a while as I've been busy working. But just wanted to share with you all how far we've got. Next Monday we are going to give notice and now we have moved we have to give notice in the district where we live as we are marrying in a different one. So we've got that booked. My passport had expired so I had to phone the borough in London where I was born to get a full birth certificate as I only had what they call a short one. that was about 15 quid I think and it arrived the very next day so that was bloomin' good!
Now h2b had realised his is out of date and he phoned his mum and discovered he has the right birth certificate but its been through the wash!!!!???? so he's gonna have to check with them if that's acceptable as you can still just about read it. if not get a new one sorted asap!

I have discovered our printer works on vellum which is brillo as I had some gorgeous vellum paper to use for our confetti cones and they have a little something printed on them. So I've bought some more lovely coloured vellums and they are ready to be printed out, although I haven't got much further on making the confetti to go in them yet though lol
I've bought card to make my table plan, but cant get on with that until we know for sure how are tables are going to be so we need to talk to venue about that. I decided on my flowers and got those (artificial) and got my memory charms to attach to that now. Bm's flowers will be done soon too.
Trying to get h2b excited enough to decide on a videographer so we can get deposit paid and booked.
Got a bargain flower girl dress for £4.70 from ebay!
I still have some triangles left from my bunting ran out of bias binding and now ive got that i have to wait for h2b's grandmothers sewing machine back again before i can finish the rest off.
Also just ordered the favour scrolls to go on the table and trying to find some nice flowers to fill the birdcages and figure out a way to attach some small butterflies to the cages as they havent got any wire on them...
I think thats about it really. Must book some time off so i can get some more stuff done!
