One week to go and it's all starting!

LEMBS8, 8 April, 2012 at 20:34 Posted on Planning 0 6

This time next week I will be Mrs M and getting ready for the first dance with my husband! My parents arrived yesterday from the states and we had an interesting day today with my dad practising driving on the left side of the road and a manual which he hasn't done in years. It was a bit hairy - they're supposed to pick up their hire car tomorrow... they are both thinking they might need to ask for an automatic - trying to remember how to shift and keep track of the roundabouts and which side of the road is all a bit overwhelming ?

Still got a few bits to do but mostly just picking people up at airports and keeping track of who is supposed to be where and when. I'm already exhausted!

    So close!!! Chuckled a bit picturing your parents trying to remember which side of the road to drive. It is the roundabouts that are especially confusing though because you go the 'wrong' way round to what you're used to!

    ??????????

    What you go left to do? Have you got any you time planned - to chill out before the day?

    My dad is scary when he drives in this country he has driven on the other side of the road so long now he forgets (whilst driving) where he is meant to be!

    Thanks all! I am SO excited!

    Mostly just have to sort the music before the ceremony, fold the order of the day, and put the seating plan together...we have all the pieces just need to have some time for arts and crafts!

    We're working Tuesday and Wednesday this week and I have a feeling those will be the most chilled days Smiley smile Although I'm sure I won't be able to focus on anything! The week is jammed and I know there will be plenty of stress along the way - I love my family but we all have strong personalities so there's bound to be some friction... the good thing is it is all always shortlived and we will have an amazing time together.

    I thought my mom was going to have a heartache in the car... she needed to have two large glasses of wine to help settle her nerves after!

    Sounds like an automatic would be best one less thing to worry about !!

    have a great time, sounds like you are virtually there now, does your mum and dad like everything you have done?
