We Did It!

After the big day, I never did come back to this blog and tell people all about it...but I have a new blog now, and will be filling in all the details there.  So why not stop by The Purple Pumpkin Blog and read all about it?!

Oh, and yeah, it's nearly 3 years since I wrote the last post on this blog....doesn't time fly!  I've just sat here for an hour reading through it and can't believe my thoughts back then - an amazing piece of nostalgia and memories right there.

How did it all go?  Perfectly!

Today's the Day!!

I'm getting married today - I can hardly believe it!

Just a quick post to say woohoo!

See you on the other side!!

5 Days to go!!

At what stage does the countdown become the home stretch??!

Went for final dress fitting yesterday, phew, that sucker was tight! Could hardly breathe! But the dress is beautiful. My bolero hadn't come in, which is a pain in the bleep, and I won't see that now till Monday.

Then in the evening the boys went for their final suit fitting - all looking handsome - I shed many a tear as I saw my brother, dad, son and H2b in the finery - just can't believe and feeling quite overwhelmed!

I'm having a chillax day today, after the rushing around of the last few days. Have got second in command bridesmaid (and best friend) coming down from Leeds today - she won't get her till late afternoon, so I'm just gonna do a bit of tidying up, list writing, and playing on the computer - something I've not done for a while.

Have also had to take H2b to work and back yesterday and today due to train strikes - could do without that - but I need the car so had no option but to drive him in.

Agenda for the next few days?

Rehearsal tomorrowfollowed by hen do. Sunday is just another rest day...recovery day!

Monday is a rush round again with dropping the martini glasses to the florist and pick up my dress, followed by getting acrylics put on.

I have demanded that nothing is done on Tuesday - just want to sit back and do nothing, get an early night in preparation for WEDDING DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better 8 than never

I totally missed yesterday's number 8 countdown! But with good reason!

Was at the hairdressers at 9.15am to get my hair cut and coloured and then have another hair trial!

My hair is now a lovely dark dark brown - almost black, and I just LOVE when my hair gets coloured - it really lifts me - unlike the weather, which is just pants at the moment.

My hairdresser then curled me up in heated rollers and put me under the heat lamp dryer thing. My mum and sister then turned up at the salon - mum was getting her hair cut also.

The curls turned out beautifully and will drop just the right amount for the ceremony. With my tiara and veil fixed in place my hair looked gorgeous and glossy! Had my sister in tears!

Can't wait to see it all come together!

Order of the Day Booklets - The Re-Make

Yes, I had to re-make our order of the day booklets (>_<)

H2b's sister was going to do a reading at our wedding, she decided that she was actually too nervous to do it, and retired from the position. My other sister (and bridesmaid) was able to step in and do it instead. But it did mean me having to re-make all of our booklets.

But they're all re-done now, and I've added some little gems to the front of the booklet that I had going spare.

Candy Buffet Mock Up

Once the sweets and jars were bought, the next step was to fill up the jars, label them up and then have a play about with them to see how they would look set up on a table. I have to say I think our jars of candy look wicked!!



Not shown in the photo is a sign I made - I don't have a photo of the original sign, but I have the image that I created in PSP!



This has been printed off and placed in a frame, and will sit next to the buffet with some candy stripe paper bags.


Hope it goes down as well as we're hoping it will!!
