wedBlog

So Neither me nor Andrew have really made any posts on the Wedblog for a while. This is almost entirely due to how busy we have both been for the last couple of months. In September we went on holiday to Spain with Ali and Kieron for a couple of weeks which was very nice and relaxing. However since coming back I have had to pack all my worldly belongings into boxes for an indefinate period of time, clean my old house, move all my belongings to a new house and organise several surveys on our (hopefully) soon to be new house. Meanwhile Andrew has been helping me move and clean, whilst also liasing with the solicitor and the estate agent, writting up his PhD and starting a new job at the Health and Safety laboratories.

Anyway suffice it to say that we have has very little time to chill out. On the wedding planning side, I have a picture of what I would like my bridesmaids dresses to look like and we have now booked a caterer and a photographer both of which were found through my lovely church.

So we now have sorted out:
venue for reception
Venue for wedding
Food for reception
DJ for when everyone gets too drunk to Celidh at the reception (thanks Kags)
Harp player for during the meal (thanks Alley)
Celidh band for the reception (thanks Owain)
Photographer


Still to go:
Wedding car? I am thinking about walking but I might be a bit stuck if it rains
Seamstress to make the bridesmaids dresses and alter mine.
Staff to serve in the bar at the reception.
Florist for the reception and additional flowers at the church.
Chairs/chair covers for the recption (the ones already there are covered in paint)
Honeymoon
Decorations for the reception
Rings (I think the man who made the engagement ring might be designing some)

I think that it is but I am sure I have forgotten something.

House buying update to follow.
