Exciting Times


Just over two months to go now til the wedding. Working our way through the list of last minute things to do.
Invites have been sent out and started getting some r.s.v.p's back now. Ive had some time off work recently so I have been able to get a few things planned. I have made a start on the table plan, which is basically an artists canvas. I used some lace ribbon and a vintage style brooch too decorate and have used lilac card as each table. The edges were a little wobbly (my hand just isn't steady enough with the scissors!) so I have neatened them by putting some lovely purple ribbon round the edges so that looks alot better now. Trying to find some stick on pearls or diamanté now just to cover the corners where the ribbon over laps.
Still loosing weight to try and get into my dress! 2 stone 10 pounds gone now and i have a weigh in tonight.

3 months to go!


I become a bit slack with my blog lately. It has been quite a busy time and we have been able to get most things sorted out. It just means I've been too busy to come and write them all down!
So where do i begin. In my last post we had just given notice. which was about 10 months to go till the day. We have now just passed 3 months to go!
Most things are paid for now. Juts have to meet the registrar a month before and pay the remainder of that. We have had a meeting with our photographers Trudy and Martin. We met them at Isaacs on a very windy day. They both seemed to like the place alot and i think they are looking forward to photographing there. On the same day we also met with Kirsty and Natasha to give them there invites and Kirsty and Alex's son Xander is going to be our little page boy so we dropped off his little suit for him to try on. He will nearly be three by the wedding but i know he is small for his age so i got an age 2 suit. It was still a little big for him, bless him. So we bought it back with us and its now been turned up. Hopefully this time it will fit perfectly. The following day we went back to Ipswich to meet up with Tanya the wedding coordinator to sort out timings for the day. We get married at 1.30pm which is quite early apparently. We will have pictures afterwards and eat about 4ish.
Im also happy that mum finally agreed to do a reading for us as part of the ceremony.
We have my future sister in law doing one so wanted someone from my side to do one too. Its mainly to add a little something to the ceremony. They dont last long and we want to to be a bit more personal. Mum reckons she will cry so might take something to calm her nerves!
Nearly finished my little fabric hearts for the pew ends. Need some more purple ribbon. Ive done 10 so far so should be another 4 to go. But when i looked at the chairs while we were there last week im sure there was more chairs there than before....might be making some more!
We also have most of the thank you gifts for the wedding party sorted just the mums little bits to do.
We are also going to go ape in thetford forest for a high wire adventure course. Just us and the 2 best men and my two bridesmaids. The six of us should be enough to have a good day out together! Then we can come back for some food and drink!
Not long to go now!
