Bridesmaids

Wow, well into the weekend already and this is the first opportunity to write about the weekend.

Last weekend was great. I started by taking the day off work on Friday (pre-booked of course) and spent the whole day doing a proper clean of the place. The kitchen was in dire need of sanitising! Mum arrived in the afternoon.

Then on Saturday, Rose (& Jed) arrived, followed by Katrina and Stephanie. We met Becky on our way to the bridesmaid dress shop (Feathers of Isca). The girls had their measurements taken and Becky and Rose managed to try on some dresses that were there in their size. There were several different shapes of skirt that they could try to go with the chosen top. They just so happened to choose the same one even though it would have been fine if they had wanted different ones. The looked absolutely amazing. I’m really looking forward to the wedding now having seen how great they look. Everyone will think they look so beautiful! I felt the first real feeling of butterflys when i saw them in the dresses - the nerves are starting already! Argh!

In the evening, Katrina and Stephanie had to go home, and Becky went with Dave to a party, so the rest of us had chinese take-away and watched tv. Everyone was pretty tired though, especially Jed and Rose as they set off at about 5am to arrive, so we didn’t stay up too late.

On Sunday we just chilled out and then Mum and I went to church in the evening.

On the Monday morning, mum just managed to take a delivery for me before having to go for the train - it was the sweety fillings for the wedding favour crackers! Yippee! How exciting…I wish we didn’t have to wait so long now!

Mum and I confirmed the desired invitation designs etc and she is going to confirm with dad the correct wording to go on them. Then they shall be ordered and sent out ASAP! Woot!
