Happy thoughts!

butterfly2016, 2 April, 2013 at 16:38 Posted on Planning 0 23

In light of the recent threads I thought we could all get back on track with happy thoughts? It is easy to forget just how exciting it is to be planning our own weddings! I know as someone who would be quietly jealous of friends who were planning their own weddings, it is so nice to finally be planning my own!

Please add 4 wedding related reasons why you are really happy right now. I'll start:

1. About to book our photographer

2. Booked a lovely place for us to stay on our wedding night

3. A wedding ideas book I ordered a while ago has arrived

4. How excited a good friend was last night when she asked about our wedding

Please join me!?

    This is a fab idea!

    1. Our photographer (who is a friend) has offered his services for half price!

    2. My teapot and teacup cookie cutters to make fimo name places/favours have arrived Smiley smile

    3. Me and OH have planned this evening to have a bottle of wine and make Save the Dates.

    4. My pearly/beaded sash for my dress is due to arrive this week (and it was half the price I planned to pay for it) ?

    Wow, yours sound even better than mine and I'm chuffed for you! You are very organised! I'm getting married in August (only booked 2 months ago) and still lots to do but it is so nice to focus on all the little moments that make this whole process so lovely!

    I have a holiday booked for later in the year.

    My daughter's long-awaited pregnancy is continuing well.

    I'm going to my first civil partnership in the summer.

    That's enough from me. Enough ? already!

    1- The invitations are all ready to go- just need stamps on them!

    2- Met with our Rev last week so got lots of things boxed off.

    3- Boyo has chosen where to stay the night before and when we went out on to the car park he could see my hotel in the distance and made some fluffy comment about how that'll be nice when he isn't with me he will know I am just over there!

    4- Bought a Guest book for £4.00 from ebay ?
