Back by popular demand...ok just back

Ahhhhhhhhh I've not posted in AGES! What a terrible newbie blogger I am! I was so excited at setting up my blog and starting to post and I've been so wrapped up in work and wedding planning recently that I've been completely remiss with my blogging, which seems ironic because the reason I wanted to blog was to have a space where I could share my thoughts and help keep me sane throughout the stress of planning our wedding! Stupid really. So I'm going to try to stick to it from now on and get back into the swing of blogging, even if no one reads it!

Wedding planning has been getting more stressful and less fun recently as the big day is now only T minus 4 months! I realised that the four month mark was approaching just before I went to sleep one night, this scared me so much that I promptly had a horrendous nightmare where I realised the day before the wedding that I hadn't had my dress altered and it was still one size too big! I woke up in a massive panic, extremely relieved to find it was just a dream but still panicked at how soon the wedding seemed to be now. I swear only a few weeks ago there were 6 months to get everything done still.

So I've been trying to get some of the big things we still have to sort done; trying not necessarily achieving! We've been to see some more florists so we can compare approaches and prices, I've been doing quite a bit of band research, and today we visited the hotel we will hopefully stay at on the night of the wedding.

The hotel has actually been a massive pain for us so far. The few really nice ones we've found have either been just that little bit too far from the reception venue or won't budge on their 2 night minimum stay for weekends. Thankfully the one we saw today has agreed to allow us and guests to stay only the one night if we book lots of rooms together and it is super close to the venue so fingers crossed we can book some rooms up and finally get that ticketed off the mahoosive to-do list!

Slowly but surely I guess.

The next major thing that really needs to get sorted is our invitations as I'm busting a gut trying to organise this thing but haven't actually invited any one yet, ah slight problem there! Big plans but very little budget don't seem to match up so we're trying to do these ourselves. Will let you know how successful that turns out in another post...
