Everything Wedding!

So many things have been happening.

Firstly, James’ parents and my parents met last weekend and we all had a nice time eating at the Southgate and testing their food. I showed them the room and they seemed to approve.

My parents and I met with Niki, the wedding coordinator at the Southgate and we confirmed the drinks and menu that we wanted plus a few other arrangements. We indicated approximately how many rooms at the hotel we would require.

We managed to find some perfect bridesmaid dresses for the girls and they are coming to be fitted for them on the 19th February.

I feel like i have rung about 100 different photographers and have plumped for appointments with four different people, starting this evening. Got a few lectures from people i rang about how they’d been booked up for literally years for that date which really wasn’t very motivational!

Arranged with a lady from work to meet about her making the wedding cake tomorrow.

Mum has sent me samples of invitations so James and i have picked the one we like best.

Mum has been trying to find out about car people and i’m ringing someone when i get home this afternoon.

I’m researching florists on Saturday - probably by going into the shops i’ve seen around the centre of Exeter.

Went to see the Vicar last Saturday and confirmed with him the hymns we want and the format of the service. Told him who was doing the prayers and readings and arranged a time for the rehearsal (the night before at 7.30pm, bridesmaids and groomsmen to attend).

Going to look for rings and things with James probably this Saturday.

James is planning a surprise honeymoon!

Trying to find out about hair and make-up people but they appear to be secret. Might buy a new devon wedding directory to see whether there are further adverts.

Joining the gym across the road this afternoon to make sure i don’t gain weight and bust out of my wedding dress on the day!

Phew!
