Finally I can tell.. I've been nearly bursting!!!!


There is a big reason why some time ago my plans changed regarding bridesmaids! And finally I am allowed to tell why!!! Sarah my best mate who was to be chief bridesmaid is now pregnant!!! She's now 13 weeks which means she would have been very close by the time of the wedding and so we decided better to make her a guest who can relax than making her work her butt off!!! 

Anyway congratulations honey! Very pleased for you, and hoping you will still be able to enjoy the hen night (the one you can!) and the wedding!  Still need you around!!!

Guest List update

Finally, following more discussions with Greg's parents and mine, we seem to have a final guest list! We are at about 90 people which is where we had to be, and I think finally everyone is happy! Now Greg just has to finalise his Best Man and I need a few more surnames and addresses and we're done! Already feels good though to have this much sorted! Just need those surnames! 

Phew! It's all coming together

Wedding Rings Arrive!!!!


Oh my god.. our wedding rings were delivered today and I am just so thrilled with them! Given we designed them ourselves, with the owner of the company that made them, there was always that fear that they wouldn't be what we expected... but they are just perfect! 

From the pictures you can't see the detail. They are the same, just mine is not as wide, and both have a princess cut diamond in, with the wedding date engraved around the outside in roman numerals.

When I tried mine on with my engagement ring it just makes the diamonds pop out and dazzle! 


Can you tell how pleased I am? Just wish I could wear it now!


Long time no blog...



Yes it has been a silly amount of time since I updated my blog, but then I have been busy and actually the wedding has taken a back seat to the house in the last few weeks. We've managed to get the living room into a liveable state now, and even ordered some new sofas which should be coming in the next few weeks. 

Mum and I met with Aidan Tierney our caterer last week and went through all the plans for the day and made some decisions on scrummy food! Greg and Dad opted to let us make all the decisions as we knew what they favoured at the tasting. Aidan was brilliant and he helped us work out the timings for the day, and gave us ideas for drinks. We choose the linen, and the plates that we will be using (actually Greg chose them beforehand), we even chose the way we wanted our napkins to be folded! 

Now we're just waiting for the costing and the menu to arrive so we can go ahead and prepare choices sheets for all our guests! Phew!
