Yet MORE wedding stuff in Diary

Sorry for just talking about our wedding all the time. Like a lot of ladies, I’ve been looking forward to my wedding since I was a little girl and now I’m actually planning it, I’m really excited. Be warned, you have another nine months of this and it’s probably going to get worse as we get closer!

People always seem surprised when they ask how the wedding plans are going and we say “Yeah, it’s fine thanks.” I think they want us to be panicking because everyone says “You don’t have long! Time will fly by! It’ll be here before you know it!” Yes thank you, we know exactly how much time we have. We got engaged 17 months ago and have another nine months before the wedding. I have spreadsheets and lists and all sorts of documents on my computer, and that’s why we’re so laid back about it, because I am EXCELLENT at organising stuff. I might be panicking a little closer to the time, worried that the band might not turn up or the cake will fall over or something, but this is a time to ENJOY, not to panic. And we’re doing fine. This is what we have done so far:
Venue - Booked
Registrar - Booked
Notice - Given
They are the three most basic legal things that have to be done, now it officially means the wedding can go ahead even if we do nothing else.
Photographer - Booked
DJ - Booked
Wedding party - Chosen, asked and accepted
Guest list - Draft written
Save the date - Sent out and some people have already booked rooms
Dress - Bought, needs adjustments
Rings - Chosen, need to find the best price
Suits for groom and other men in the wedding party - Chosen
Transport - I’ll stay at the hotel the night before with my family so I won’t need transport. Jay will need it but I’ll leave it to him to sort.
Band - Pencilled in
Food and drink - Provided by the venue. We’re having a buffet and just need to choose which items we want
Invitations - Started looking at designs
Table decorations - I have an idea of what I want, Jay hasn’t thought about it
Music - Walking down the aisle music was chosen about 20 years ago, haha. First dance was chosen years before we even got engaged. Not thought about the signing the register music or walking up the aisle music yet
Hair, make up, nails, jewellery, cake, flowers, table favours, gifts for wedding party - Not thought of yet but these are details and we have plenty of time for all of that.

It’s all coming together nicely!

My interview for the promotion at work is on Tuesday at 2pm. There are six of us being interviewed for it but I’ve been told in secret that it’s basically down to me and one other person, and a few people have come to me and said they hope I get it, one lady even said she’s recommended me to our line manager! Exciting stuff :o)

Next Thursday me and Jay are going to Cambridge Folk Festival with his dad. His dad goes every year. I’ve only actually heard of three acts on the line up, but it should hopefully be a nice chilled out few days. Actually one of the acts is Glen Hansard and it’s sort of thanks to him that me and Jay ended up together, and our first dance song at the wedding is by him so that will be very nice to see him. Four more days of camping, though…well, as long as it isn’t as muddy as Download Festival was, that will be an improvement.
