... I'm getting REALLY excited!!

Just 2 weeks to go and I can't wait!

There's very little left to do now that the placemarkers, table decorations and table plan are well under way. Al's mum and I made the favour boxes at the weekend whilst Al was on his stag do so they're sorted.

I've got my final dress fitting on Saturday when I get to try on the finished article and I'm really looking forward to putting my dress on again. Then Al and his dad and Best Man have got their suit fitting on Sunday. Next Saturday, I'm booked into the hairdressers to get my highlights done and get my hair all trimmed and neat.

Al's sister arrives from Thailand on that Saturday and then on Sunday my parents arrive from Southampton as we are pretty much the halfway point. We're hoping to get both families together on the Sunday night so that they finally get to meet, but at least the mums have now met.

Then on the Monday, it's off to Bonnie Scotland to join up with our friends and family at the castle hotel. We need to decorate the tables in the restaurant once we're there as that won't be used until the wedding breakfast so we have plenty of time.

At 7:30pm, the party gets started with the arrival drinks in the bar before going through to the function room for a hot buffet dinner. Then Al and I have planned to go for a walk with Buddy just before we go our separate ways to bed so that we get a few quiet minutes together.

Then the following day, it all happens!! The hairdresser is arriving at 9am to come and start my hair by putting it in rollers before getting onto the BMs and the mums. We're all doing our own make-up so us girlies can kick around and have a giggle in my suite.

After a quick lunch, it's time to get dressed and wait for Andrew, my best friend who is our usher, to come and tell me that everyone has arrived and that we're ready to go. He wants to come and see me in my room so that he can get any tears out of the way rather than set me off just before my big entrance. And the rest, I'll tell you in 2 weeks

We travel home on the Wednesday before driving down to Southampton on the Thursday to drop Buddy off with Andrew & Zoe. Then we're off to catch our coach to Heathrow where the lovely Popsie has offered to collect us and join us at our overnight stay for a drink. Friday at eek o'clock, we go and check in for our flight to New York. Then in the Tuesday we fly to St Lucia via Puerto Rico for some lazy days in the sun. Then it's back to Gatwick after 10 glorious days (hopefully) where Andrew will collect us and whizz us back to Southampton just in time for our reception cruise ( ) and then we drive back to Liverpool on the Sunday.

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
