Now Mrs Morant

The deed is done! The wedding was wonderful... everything I dreamt it would be and much much more!!! 

More pics to follow when we have them but for now....

3 Weeks to go!!

Time is ticking by so quickly and we are more or less ready ish.. still lots of jobs to do, but we seem to be on schedule!

I've made the orders of service, our banns have now been read, my dress is waiting to be altered slightly, seating plan is drawn up and thoughts have turned slightly to buying a few honeymoon bits! 

We have meetings with the seamstress, caterer, venue manager and photographer all on wednesday!!! And my hen pamper party on saturday! All very exciting! 

Getting nervous now too!!!

Scarlett's dress arrives!!!

Very exciting to now have both the bridesmaids dresses in our possession! Just waiting on Rachel's wrap now! This dress is so pretty and Scarlett is very excited to be trying it on! Matt will be visiting this week from Coventry and we plan to have them both trying on their wedding clothes together at the same time as Grandad!! 

Can you tell how excited I am???

Confetti find!

Found these beautiful rose topiary style bushes in the newest Confetti guide that just came through the door! Amazingly Confetti are now stocking white birdcages not unlike mine.. and are even decorating them in a similar style!!! And they were on the same page as these little trees! 

I've bought three for use in the wedding room, maybe on the mantelpiece of the lovely fireplace behind the top table, or maybe on the cake table or any number of places! 

These pics don't do them justice!!

My beautiful boy's birthday!

Greg is 37 today! It's so nice to be able to do lovely things for your partner, particularly when they arent normally used to celebrating their birthday! 

He's been at work all morning and should be home shortly where he will find balloons on the door and in the house... and a birthday cake and candles and pressies! 

He even had the kids at work singing Happy Birthday to him! 

We're off for dinner later too...

Happy Birthday Bubba!! 

Snowy Sunbury!

The snow over the last few days has given me a slight breather in the wedding preparations! 

Most places have been shut or short staffed so it wasn't really worth making many calls! 

Started saturday night making butterflies for the Order of Services and finished  putting the whole 100 of them together last night! Phew! It was a long slog but feels so good to have them done, albeit without the inserts! Next stop email the vicar with our choices of reading so that I can finish them all off!!!!! 

Luckily also Sunday morning the best man, Roger came over and we were able to get his waistcoat fitted!! This means the men folk with the exception of Matt the page boy are all suited and booted now!!!! Yippee!!! 

Meeting with the Vicar!!

Went to meet with Rev Chris Hollinghurst on sunday afternoon. He was so lovely, I've met him a few times before but it was Greg's first time at the church and he was so lovely to both of us. He spent about two hours chatting about the wedding and all the options and then he asked us to describe how we feel about each other and why we feel that way.. Greg went first and I can't even remember what he said but it was lovely and then the vicar asked me and I cried. I finally managed it and the vicar said I can see how well suited you are, how much you love each other, how you smile at each other all the time and how the light shines from your relationship. He went on to say how impressed he was by the way that Greg put his arm around the back of me affectionately when we were leaning and reading some passages. It feels like we will have such a personal wedding now he has such an understanding of us. 

RSVPs

The RSVPs are slowing dribbling in to my Mum and Dad's house and it's not so bad but am dreading having to chase them all up!!!! Why o why did we give them as long as 25th Feb to reply??? I must be mental!! 

Starting to look at florists now, and wedding cars, and trying to sort out Greg's suit and whatever the lads are going to wear!!! Getting excited again!!
