Two weeks tomorrow....

LEA2012, 13 December, 2012 at 14:22 Posted on Planning 0 10

....and it's our wedding day! Can't actually believe it, so excited, got engaged on christmas day last year and that does only seem like yesterday!!

Paid the florist this morning and the venue at the weekend and so that is everything officially paid for. Our wedding savings account from thousands to zero in a matter of seconds, a year to save and less than a minute to empty [:'(] lol, I know it will be worth it in the end.

On top of that, 3 weeks Sunday and we will be flying off to St Lucia on honeymoon, what a great start to a new year. I have tended to forget about the honeymoon as everyone just talks and asks you about the wedding, so that has crept up too! ?

Not much else to say other than that just wanted to share how excited I am!!! And Merry Christmas to everyone!

    Thank you both! Gemmy no we have never been and are really looking forward to it!! We are staying at the Sandals grande st lucia which I think is at the top of the island, hoping to get out on a couple of excursions as I believe the island is beautiful? x

    Yes Lea its a beautiful island, although just to give you a heads up the start of the drive from the airport is a bit of a shock as the southern part of the island is quite poor, and not what you expect. But once your past Castries the main city its like something out of the movies. Your hotel wasnt far from us, we stayed at Smugglers Cove, we actually drove into your hotel grounds on the way back from a trip one night and it looked gorgeous.

    To be honest with you we only done 1 excursion, we done the sunset catamaran lovers cruise, and it was such an experience. It was a 2 and half hour cruise, with all food and Alcohol provided, and a glass of bubbly on arrival. It sails all around the island while the sun is setting and is breath taking. Then it stops at one of the Sandals hotels, there are 2 or 3 cant remember which one, and collects a hot and cold food buffet which was lovely. We also saw some massive turtles which was a nice suprise. It was cheap too, I think around 110 us dollars for both of us, and you book through your hotel.

    Most hotels on the island have lots to do as well, we had jet skis, parasailing, kayaks, and boats. Oh and the most amazing spa. We did also get a taxi into Rodney Bay one day which cost around 40 us dollars return from our hotel, its a small town with lots of restaurants bars etc, also a super market and shopping centre but that didnt have much in it tbh. Hope you really enjoy it, the people cant do enough for you, and even though we went in hurricane season the weather was amazing except for about 2 afternoons. Enjoy!

I think there are jet skis and etc all built into our package but I dont think i will be doing much of that, you will have to peel me off my sunbed and prise the kindle and rum punch from my hands first!! :-) x

    You've made me remember I have my honeymoon to look forward to!! I have been so lost in planning that was forgotten. We are going to Jamaica, also staying in a sandals resort so will be excited to hear how you find the resort. Sandals are all quite similar I think.

    Happy Wedding day, Happy Chirstmas and heres to 2013!!

    And Merry Christmas to you too! :-)

    We are getting married at Formby Hall Golf Resort which is just North of Liverpool, nothing really left to do apart from get everything together and in order to take with us! I have bits and pieces all over my house which need to be organised and instructions with where they go stuck on for the venue. OH picks up suits tomorrow and I pick up dresses Monday (everywhere is closing early for christmas) and then we are pretty much ready to go!

    I'm very excited but I've hit a slight snag with sleeping this week which isnt really welcome! Lol. There's just so much going round and round in my mind that I find it difficult to go to sleep and then when I do I have some awful dream and wake up and cant go off again, very frustrating!

    How are things for you NYE? x

    Ooh that's so exciting!! This weekend is organisation weekend. Had good day today bought some more bits, finally got OH to sort the groomsmen, page boy and FOB and FOG presents so that is a big tick Smiley smile Making all final payments this weekend which is expensive but nice to get done. Sorting through my mountains of paperwork as have let it all pile up a bit and like you sorting out the wedding stuff all around the house so things are in the right boxes ready to go and thank you cards are written etc. My plan is to feel back on track and organised by Monday so at the 2 weeks to go mark I can have a nice last week at work, enjoy Christmas and be happy everything is sorted Smiley smile

    Where has this year gone lol!!!
