[align=left]I'm feeling...... A little stressed..... To say the least!
There's not much left to do now. We picked up my dress today!!!!! It's been steamed, altered by about 4 inches and fits great now
The stationery is arriving tomorrow- bunneh table plans, place cards and table cards!!!
Either Wednesday or Thursday we have to take that, and the table decorations, etc etc over to the venue.
On Thursday I think I'm getting a spray tan, now that I've found a place that doesn't make me orange and patchy. Although there is a guide colour that means I'll look orange until I can wash it off Friday morning, so I have to make sure I don't need to do anything else! Me and my bridesmaids are going to have our nails done on Friday.
Friday morning I have to get up super early and me and my mum are driving over to the cottage where I'm staying on Friday night, which is near the venue to drop off the dresses. Then I'm coming back, getting my nails done with the girls, and going to get food and drink to take with us. Then we'll get a taxi with 3 of my other closest girlfriends over to the cottage, and have pizza and a glass of wine to chill out, and do facemasks and paint toenails etc (I have a facemask I use- Clinique that I know wont bring me out in a rash or anything, don't worry!). Then I have to get up at 6am Saturday morning, shower, and the hair and make-up lady is coming at 7AM!!!!! to do our hair and make-up. Then we'll be ready for about 12pm, and I'm leaving for the venue at 12.55pm. The ceremony is at 1.30pm.
I still have to make this wishing tree thingy. I have all the stuff, and I'm going to get a big branch off of my mum and dad's olive tree. I just hope it works out ok lol, and doesn't look stupid!
We still haven't chosen our music :shock: We've chosen a couple of songs, but nowhere near enough. Not sure what we'll do! Perhaps just sign the register in silence? How bad can that be?!
Steve hasn't worked out how he'll get to the venue, what his best man is doing re. travel arrangements and no matter how many times they speak or meet up, and however much I nag him, they still never manage to sort anything! I'm just going to have to leave him to it and hope that they get there on time LOL.
Soooo, this is why I've not been around too much! I'm so, so dizzy right now through stress and tiredness and running about to shops, etc. I just can't wait for the day to be here already. I can't wait to be married to the man I'm going to spend the rest of my life with, and to be done with answering questions from my mum, and dad about what time are the speeches, how does the champagne get to the venue, will they get stuck driving down the road to the venue, etc etc 500 times over! Needless to say, my mum and dad are doing my head in!
After the wedding and reception etc, which all finishes sometime around midnight, me and Steve are going back to the cottage (the girls are getting on a coach that drives back to Bristol with all my other friends), and staying there Saturday and Sunday night. Then we're back Monday morning, and Steve goes back to work Wednesday. It sucks, and I'd really like for us to be able to get away, on a honeymoon, but we just can't afford it yet. I really see why people say to try and get one if you can, because we really feel like we need one LOL, but it's just not possible yet. We've had some donations off some family, which is so nice of them, and we're keeping it all safe, and hopefully we'll be able to go towards the end of the year or early next year. At least we'll get a few days to chill out and relax together though- laptops are definitely banned!!!
This has been a super long update! Sorry I haven't checked in before- I literally hardly have the energy by the time I get chance to come online at the moment, so I've taken to vaguely lurking. Once the wedding is over I'll be back in full force, posting TONS of pictures for everyone to see!
5 days! 5 days until I am Mrs Kirtley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
