OH and I are going up to Scotland this weekend, where I grew up, to see my best friend from school. I'm going to ask her to be my bridesmaid and I am dead excited! Our friendship really blossomed when we ended up going to Starbucks most days after school and talking about boys etc, so I'm going to write "Will you be my bridesmaid?" on an empty Starbucks cup which I picked up yesterday. I'm also planning to put a note inside the cup, telling her how much she means to me and how I think she'll be a fab bridesmaid - with her living so far away from me (500 miles, that's an 8 hour drive!), I won't be expecting her to come to dress fittings etc, I just want her to be there for me on the day really.
Is there anything else you can think of that I could put in the cup? It's perhaps a bit early for a wedding day survival kit, with plasters and painkillers etc, we're not getting married for 2 years and still haven't set an actual date! Maybe some pages from bridal magazines of dresses, flowers etc?
