16 days to go!!!
Well the alarm went off at 7am yesterday morning, I would normally be still laying in bed whilst h2b got ready for work as monday is my normal day off anyway. We got ready and made sure i had everything i needed. Drove down to ipswich which took us about an hour. We got stuck in some traffic so we were a couple of mins late. Tanya our wedding coordinator met us with a hug and offered us a coffee. We sat down and went over all the details as we changed the time of speeches. We then went up to the ceremony room to listen to the songs we have chosen for the ceremony. Felt really strange being in the room where we will be married and hearing the song which i will walk in to. H2b looked at me and said" dont cry i know what your like" i thought i might but i just stood there grinning.
We worked out when page boy/flower girl and bridesmaids will come in and then when i come in. We listened to the two signing songs and then the song that would play us out. We then walk out on to our own private courtyard with lovely garden furniture and have pictures taken and a drink and what not. We then have our meal and speeches and cut the cake. Then we have a bit of time to kill before we have the disco. We were a bit worried every one would get bored. We are having what they call" the ice cream dream machine" lol where you have ice cream in a little pot/bowl and then you can move on to the sprikles bar where you can add your own sauce or syrups and sprinkles like smarties, mint aero pieces flakes marshmallows etc. Then HOPEFULLY its a nice day and our guests can mill around outside looking at the boats on the harbour. Now what we found out yesterday is that becoz down stairs is a bar, they have a band on every friday afternoon from 5 til 7 (which just happends to be the time we need filled!! So we have a live jazz band for our guests to listen to while they eat their ice cream in the sunshine basically for free!!
Anyway we had our appt with the registrar at 11am so we wandered along the waterfront into town. We met the lady who will perform our ceremony. She was really nice, very down to earth and she talked us through the ceremony and we gave our choices. She typed all this up while we were there, took the names of the songs we r having and she had to "you tube" two of them coz i couldnt pronounce their names lol she printed out the whole ceremony as it will be performed on the day so thats good. She talked about nerves and how some people can faint in extreme cases and sometimes when bride and groom turn to face eachother they can burst out laughing as they seem to be standing so close together! lol that made me chuckle.
We paid the balance and ordered an extra copy of the marriage certificate and left.
Mum has given us some easter money so we went to get a few bits of clothing for the honeymoon and as we were walking hand in hand to town in the sunshine i felt so happy. We were laughing and h2b said we better practice where we stand next to eachother and turn so that we dont laugh. So standing in the street he made me practice! He counted to three and we turned....we were nose to nose and i burst into hysterics!!!
Fab day!!
