Hello everyone
I haven't been around much lately, so just wanted to drop in and say hi and give you an update on the wedding plans. i was away for a conference with work, and have been busy doing wedding stuff and DIY so have had no time to groove!!
Anyway, the weekend before last was a huge disaster on the wedding front. The underwear I'd ordered for the big day arrived and looked HIDEOUS. Sorry if this is TMI, but let's just say I looked down and wondered where they'd gone...
Since then I have discovered I've gone down a blinking cupsize to practically nothing.
Then the proofs arrived for the invites and they looked rubbish. The printing was all smudgy and colours looked crap and the card was flimsy. We realised the file was too low resolution so Stephen had to spend ages working on it.
Then to top it all off, we had the walk throguh with our photographer. She was really bossy and totally upset me. She walked into the church and said "O MY GOD! It is SOOOOO dark in here. Do I have to stand right back there? O my god". Then we get to the reception venue and that was too dark too, and I was having my drinks reception on the wrong bit of lawn. And then she went to my mum's house and committeed the ultimate sin of criticising it (fairly politely but still criticising). I tihnk I was just a bit emotional from the other disappointments, but I felt like all my choices were being rubbished.
Anyway, enough of all that malarkey. I have since cheered up completely. The invites are going to the printers tomorrow and look fab. I have ordered the envelopes too. I returned the bra and knicks and bought the right size - okay so my former cleavage hasn't suddenly reappeared but at least I don't look like a kid playing dress-up. And I bought my shoes from BHS - they are gorgeous and were very good value. Ooh and we started our gift list too at John Lewis.
And I've got a plan to sort out the photographer...
So it's all good. Last week was really stressy but I am getting back to enjoying it now. Howz everyone else? I haven't had a chance to trawl throguh all the thousands of posts I've missed...
