The Last One

The last and most cherished part of the bridesmaid process has come and with all the lovely dresses in my hands I can happily say that this chapter of the wedding planning is over. The bridesmaids each have a dress for the wedding and I have my dress for the wedding...surely it's downhill from here....

The bane of my life

My alarm went off this morning - I did not get up. Two hours later I woke up to find that I needed to jump out of bed pronto and get a move on to the the current bane of my life - Debenhams. The size 6 was cancelled yesterday due to no stock and there was still unfortunately no stuck available this morning so I managed to get my hands on a size 8 which was fab. I thought on the never ending journey to Debenhams as the rain poured down this morning, if they don't have a size 8, I will possibly kill myself.......however yet again that is a lie, as I would just result to drinking way too much coffee instead. Drug myself up with caffeine. Always works a charm. But thankfully I haven't yet had to resort to that as I have the dress ordered, and if there is one more glitch in this process, I will probably drown myself in coffee.

Where is the light at the end?

You would have thought after ordering a big batch of dresses from Debenhams that they would arrive swimmingly in perfect condition. Well, I still have no clue about what kind of condition they come in, as the order has been faulted about three times already! I would say it's ridiculous and stressful but I am getting to the point of not caring........however that is a lie, because I do care very much. Problems with my bank, the assistant forgetting to ask for essential details of mine, and unfortunate realisations that the only size 6 dress is out of stock entirely from their large stock room.. have all contributed in this entire mess. But fear not, I tell myself, as thankfully there is a Debenhams in Bath which has recently arrived - thank goodness - so at least I can race there and beg them to untangle this mess that has appeared from nowhere. I almost have 4 of the bridesmaids dresses....I need one more. Let there be light at the end of the tunnel.

The bells are a'ringing

It's been a while since I posted anything, but it was time for a bit of a make over and the day dreaming had to be put on pause for a while because sometimes...not often, I need to be in the real world, instead of gazing out the window wondering about life's mystery's. I'm getting married next July, so I'm going to do a bit of blogging about all the preparations - which is one of the reasons I haven't got round to blogging, but now I'll just intertwine it all.

The venue's are sorted, my dress is fabulously sorted (which took me long enough!), the date is set, the music and entertainment is almost wrapped up and just the other day I ordered the bridesmaid dresses - one very stressful part. You'd have thought they wouldn't be, as it is known for the bride to pick out a monstrosity of a dress in lemon meringue or that devilish shade of peach with over large shoulder ruffles. But I don't really understand that, surely the bride wants her wedding day photos to be nice. I know I do! So after changing my mind over and over again and starting to stress out my lovely amazing maid of honour, I went back to the original place to get them - where, conveniently my gift list is held (everyone likes a good 10% off dresses). The theme is Cadbury purple and ivory and anyone who knows me will know that chocolate just had to get involved somewhere. I've found the honeymoon destination in the gorgeous Greece which is slightly expensive, but do-able my fiance says (I've picked a good one!) so it's down to booking that and also getting all the invitations made (by my family and friends- not me - that would be the worst idea) and sent!

For now, that's the furthest I've got, and it's been so fun planning it......sad you may think, but I have indeed made a giant scrapbook full of everything wedding-y and an enormous wedding planner that I've probably had a flick through once! The journey to the wedding started off slow and steady, with slight hic-ups, but right now, it is starting to speed up and my mind is buzzing everyday with ideas and thoughts, which I'm going to journal on here.

Any wedding ideas, wedding struggles, wedding jokes, wedding moments - journal them here too! Would be fun!
