Hello again Eng­lish Wedding!

I know, I know it’s been far too long! It’s been a mad rush since the wed­ding, David’s gone back to his third year at uni and I’ve just started my mas­ters, we both now spend most days run­ning around like head­less chick­ens try­ing to keep up!

It seems like the wed­ding was yes­ter­day, but also like we’ve always been hus­band and wife — it’s a lovely feel­ing. If I’ve not left it too late and you’re all still inter­ested.. here’s how our wed­ding went.  Read more…

After a bit of thought I’ve decided to fol­low in the foot­steps of lovely Salma and break down our wed­ding day into sec­tions to show our day prop­erly, and where bet­ter to begin than the prepa­ra­tions before the day itself.

I felt it only right to give the prepa­ra­tions a full post as so many peo­ple helped out and it was such a hard slog in the few days before the wed­ding, every­one was so happy but so stressed think­ing of what needed to be done, and for the major­ity of the time we were all run­ning around like head­less chick­ens!  Read more…

It seems like I’ve been away for ages when in fact it’s only been a few weeks! I have so much to tell you about mine and David’s day but I think I’ll save it until our offi­cial pho­tographs come back in the next week or so. I can’t wait!  Read more…

I can’t believe this is my last post, it seems like a week or so ago when I found out I was going to be a ‘Star Bride’ and now all our wed­ding prepa­ra­tions are done and it’s the count­down to the day! 8 days to go!!

A lot has been going on in the past few weeks to get every­thing ready, Mum and Dad have been work­ing hard on the house and I’ve been tying up a lot of loose ends at this end. Here are a few things that are fin­ished and ticked off the list, and a few things that have been hap­pen­ing in the ‘run up’:  Read more…

Right, every­thing is get­ting quite (very) busy! I wrote a to-do list off the top of my head and it had around 50 things on it… with only 28 days left AND I’m work­ing full time. Help!

Any­way, here are a hand­ful of new things to share, in no par­tic­u­lar order..

Some­thing I’ve been quite excited to share, my guest­book idea! I saw the idea of guest­book cards to fill in on a site some­where ages ago (don’t ask where I’ll never be able to remem­ber!), and messed around on Illus­tra­tor and came up with these instead of a tra­di­tional guest­book. We’ll leave them out with a jam jar of pens, ask peo­ple to fill them in before leav­ing them in a vin­tage suit­case. After the wed­ding I’ll put them into a scrap­book mak­ing a keep­sake of our day, hope­fully we’ll get some inter­est­ing entries!  Read more…

On a whim I bought 10 7″ vinyls from eBay this week for the bar­gain­ous price of 99p with the view of some­how turn­ing them into table names. I’ve always wanted names above sim­ple table num­bers as I thought we could turn names into another per­sonal touch. After much dis­cus­sion we decided to use songs which are rel­e­vant to us, and have marked a moment in our rela­tion­ship, for instance “In the morn­ing” by Razorlight as it as the first song we danced to the night we met, and “Dreams” by The Cran­ber­ries as it was played the night we got engaged.  Read more…

Well we all came back from Paris on Sun­day and I’m still a lit­tle tired today! (And a lit­tle hun­gover yes­ter­day aswell to be hon­est, 2 day-ers are the worst) I’d just like to say first a mas­sive thank you to all my lovely hens who made it a trip I’ll never for­get, I really appre­ci­ate all the effort you all made to come and cel­e­brate with me.  Read more…
