eeek - three weeks tomorrow - and I'm so calm.......

pammy67, 17 March, 2015 at 08:02 Posted on Planning 0 25

So, three weeks as now, I'll be waking up in our caravan, really really giddy as we will pack and relocate 1/2 mile away to our wedding venue for the next two nights, three days. We'll have arrived three weeks as of yesterday, and dropped off the fizz and decs at the venue. I'll be getting all our personal wedding things into the car and getting the caravan ready for us to return as Mr & Mrs Smiley smile

We'll then go to our venue and check into our seperate rooms and wait for the hoards (our family and friends) to land. I'll be particularly watching for darling daughter who, apart from bringing the boys so they can fulfil their duties, will be bringing the most important remaining element - the dress!!

Today is my final fitting for my dress. I have to add lace, pearls and sparkles to the younger BM dress, but can't do that until I get it back from the seamstress on 2nd April. Darling daughter and I have decided to make personalised wine glass charms for all our guests too as they have gone down so well at my hen do and everyone wants one!! So we will oblige. OH needs to just finish off his vows - he's not done the ring bit yet - but what he has done made me cry - it is very very personal and will make the guests chuckle. He's promised to love me more than he does his football team - so WINNER - go me Smiley smile

I can't believe the time is so nearly here. I have eight days remaining at work, including today. We've allowed ourselves loads of time before to get the van and everything sorted. We have seeing our new puppy to fit in around the edges and the most important thing of all, hoping my FFIL is well enough to come. He was diagnosed with lung cancer last week which has knocked us all for six as that was not even remotely expected. Get the results of tests etc next Tuesday so we'll know where we go from there. I'm optimistic he'll be OK to come. OH will be devastated if he can't make it. But we'll worry about that next week.

I am generally really calm and chilled and I'm not stressing or panicking about anything at all. Worried about FFIL yes of course, but everything else - well, it will just happen Smiley smile

Sorry for a long and PP - but I am excited and when I saw two little ducks (22) on our days to go board this morning - I had a little squee to myself.

    Oh Pammy, i'm so sorry to hear about your ffil. My ffil was diagnosed with an aggresive cancer in January, it was unexpected and he sadly passed away a few weeks ago so i can understand how you're feeling :-( Fingers crossed he will be well enough to attend on the day and the the test results bring better news.

    I can't believe it's only 3 weeks till your big day, it's come round so quickly. Your going to have a fantastic day, i can't wait to see your photos. X

    Not a pointless post at all. I hope your FFIL is well enough to attend. I bet your day will be amazing. Wishing you all the best and I, for one, have loved reading all your planning posts and the advice you've given. Good luck x

    Really looking forward to hearing all about your wedding and seeing your pictures. I really hope your FIL is well enough to attend. xx

    Pammy, it's nearly here. All your planning and buying (an excessive amount of shoes) is all coming to fruition.

    (I feel like I'm writing on your good luck thread so just incase I miss as I've gone back to work I'll continue with the fluffy stuff)

    I've watched your plans come together and have loved observing your journey and your flashes. I look forward to you coming back with your report as an OM.

    I wish you all the luck and hope those that are close to you are well enough to attend and your day is filled with joy and love xx

    Aaw - you are all so so lovely and have made my eyes glisten a little already. I'll try not to bore you over the next three weeks Smiley smile xx

    I'm also blessed with some amazing work chums. They've organised a worky drinky afternoon for Monday 30th so I'll get the train in and have a glass of fizz or three. And soooooo many are going and giddy about going - inlcuding the blokeys!!! I'm bowled over and really looking forward to that. I am a really lucky lady. xxx

    DD - I get them today. The Ted Baker's were returned and TB were great about it fully accpeting that the gold lining should not have rubbed off but they had no more Smiley sad. So I've ended up with a pair of Rainbow Couture Mariella dyed Taupe - which is an interesting but perfect colour for my dress...I hope. I tried taupe ones on in the boutique which were more like a light champagne gold. I then saw a pair on Ebay advertised as taupe and they were much much darker. Hoping it was just a monitor thing.....I'll know soon. But they are incredibly comfortable and having a strap, they're much more secure.

    I did buy another pair the other day.....forgot to say....and no it's not what you all think - it's actually a "these were made for you moment". They're a pair of beautiful rose gold/pink sparkly flats from Next! They'll be great for the evening if my day shoes become too much. Smiley smile

    Oh Pammy! Oh! I'm so excited for you.

    AND I'M SO JEALOUS! Oh I'm so jealous I could bang my head against a wall. Savour every single moment, make sure to stop every now and then when you're feeling stressed and just bask in the glow ..... OH I'M SO JEALOUS! ?

    Aaah thanks SW - that means a lot Smiley smile

    I am genuinely not at all stressed - at the mo. I'm bothered by my nails coz they are just pants. They do this - go from being gorgeous to pants. Our plans and dates plus location mean I can't get anything done with them the day before - so I'm hoping to get them done on Saturday at home and just hope to god they survive packing and unpacking the caravan and putting the awning up, that's the danger zon,e and OH bless can't do that on his own.

    But it is great bouncy bouncy squeee time - and I love how giddy all you lovely ladies are too. I weirdy love you all Smiley smile xx

    Cannot believe it has come around so fast! I feel generally quite calm but also a little nervous.

    Best wishes for your FFIL xx
