It's quiet here today. List...

Storky, 1 April, 2011 at 15:44 Posted on Planning 0 36

The wedding task you're undertaking this weekend that you're most excited about. Bonus marks for showing your reasoning, but marks deducted for failing to read the instructions properly.

Me:

Going to hear our Banns read for the first time on Sunday. I'm not sure if I'll smile like a loon, cry or just giggle. I think it'll be one of those moments in your planning where you're suddenly hit squarely in the face with the realisation that 'Bloody hell, I'm only getting married!'.

You?

    We're hoping to try and finish putting together our 'order of the day' and finish the paperwork to send off to the registars, having agreed readings and music, and who's going to be doing the readings. It's been "in progress" for some time now but it's one of the last big things we need to do well in advance so it'll feel good to get it out of the way.

    Going to our jewellers to try on some rings, finalise our choice, and pay our deposit!

    Also, they do handmade tiaras so may well pick one of them up too if I see one that takes my fancy!

    Woop Woop!

    Sorting out playlists and my entry and our 'exit' music.

    Also going through the vows the planners have sent through to us and deciding which bits of which samples we want to keep to make into our own service.......very exciting! I've read through them all a couple of times and cry like a child each time......GOK what I'll actually be like on the day!?

    Due to my crazy shift patterns and OH trying to get his business organised before we go away, this will be the only time we have off together before we go, so we need to be super-oganised and get as much done as poss.........looks like we'll have to take it easy on our (very rare) Saturday night out with friends so we don't need to spend Sunday sleeping off our hangovers!!?

    The only weddingy thing I have planned this weekend is my boudior shoot for H2B's pressie, which I've just come back from (Friday counts as the weekend right?! I don't work Fridays!). TBH I was probably more nervous than excited about it to begin with - which wasn't helped due to being 1hr 15 min late due to an accident on the M60 - but it was great fun once I'd had my makeover done and relaxed a little. Looking forward to seeing the results now!

    Busy with BM stuff for another wedding, BUT on Sunday me and h2b will be booking our hotel at Vegas, flight from Vegas to Grand Canyon, lodge at Grand Canyon, sleeper train to beach town near San Diego and our room for 6 days at said beach town (has a balcony overlooking ocean and a hot tub on the balcony!). Won't flash again as that's just bragging- is flashed towards the end of the honeymoon thread ?.

    We have already booked our flights to US and as you can see have planned our itinerary (easier said than done, esp as we don't drive and will be using public transport) but we just have to book rooms and internal transfers etc.

    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited.

    Well the one big wedding thing that is happening this weekend is my BMs are going to go get their dresses sorted and I am so fed up with it all I am NOT going and told CBM she is in charge!

    Hopefully we will buy the rings this weekend but that has been on the to do for a month and still not happened!

    Does going on a 30 mile cycle ride count as trying to slim for the wedding?

    Well tonight is one year since my OH proposed so he's currently cooking me a three-course meal as I sit here Hitching whilst sipping Champagne! Its our first ever anniversary as we didnt have an official date of getting together (it just sort of happened). So I'm very excited for tonight!!!!

    This weekend we plan to get some booze for the wedding as Tesco have the 3 for £20 on beer at the moment, then get some pots for my bay trees, get our rings engraved, look for plates/serviettes/platters for our evening buffet...think thats about it! As we are getting closer the more things I can tick off the list the better! Less stress for me!

    Have a good weekend everyone! xxx

    This weekend i am finding bits and bobs for my bridesmaids hair. I have ordered an Aster comb from Lisa and loads of clips and pins and a double sparkly hair band from 3D.

    I am impatiently waiting for my invites to arrive so if they come i will be writing and posting them.
