Where to start?! We've met with the Vicar, and planned a little of the service. We've chosen entrance and recessional music. My dress is sitting in my bedroom at my parents house...I still need to buy my shoes though. The bridesmaids are all dressed, and the groom has a suit appointment on Monday. Save The Dates went out this week, and the invitations are all made. We need to start putting together the information to go with them and finalise our Gift Lists.
Our Vicar and Worship Leader and Wedding Co-Ordinator have all been amazing - so open to ideas and full of GREAT suggestions. Our hymns and songs are in the Worship Leader's tender care, along with our absolute trust and certainty that he's going to do a great job with them. At the Vicars' suggestion (and with help from our Co-Ordinator), we've designed a background for the slides during the service; we have a friend on standby to help make the slideshow for during the signing of the register, and ideas for the order of service design. My Wedding Co-Ordinator also happens to be Brand Manager for Galaxy chocolate (part of the Mars empire) and reckons she can source us enough chocolate for our wedding favours TOTAL WIN :)
Despitre having done so much already, the To-Do list seems to be getting longer each day as more things come to mind that we'd like/that we still need to do. Menus need to be chosen, wine needs to be tasted (an arduous task I know!) We need insurance of various kinds. We need flowers and buttonholes. We need to finalise cake details. We need to sit down and make a proper list!!
We are still counting our blessings every day, thankful both for each other and for our families around us,
