Alive & Well

It has been a long time between posts for me. I have been a busy busy bee! I am on the countdown now – only 16 days to go – yippee!!

I have been working my little booty off, quite literally. I am wearing my “skinny” work pants today! I had a makeup and hair trial on Tuesday then went for a dress fitting. OMG – my dress was so loose, they had to make all sorts of unexpected alterations. I know I am going to lose some more and I’m a bit worried about the dress not fitting properly. Oh dear, but I’ve got to look great in my bikini : )

Other wedding things actioned:
• I had my nails done today. I wanted to get them done a little bit early so I can get used to them. I’m booked in for a refill in a fortnight.
• I have to best winter tan you have ever seen! I have been religiously tanning.
• We have picked up Gerards suit last week.
• I finally found my wedding shoes.
• We have an appointment with the musicians tomorrow and have decided to extend them so they play over breakfast as well.
• I have changed the flavour of the top layer of my wedding cake to Chocolate Mud!
• I have stocked up on lingerie : )
• I have booked a wait person to work for us at the second venue.
• I have received quotes on the finger food for the second venue.
• I have bought the bridal table decorations.
• 2 x bridesmaid dress fittings
• I have bought my jewellery
• I’ve had my bridal shower – and the subsequent hangover.
• I have ordered the drinks for second venue.

Other stuff still to do:
• Finalise bonbonniere and table tags.
• Meet with photographer.
• Have practice photo shoot
• Meet with restaurant to finalise menu and table plans.
• Meet with operator of venue 2 to co-ordinate times.

No doubt there are plenty of other things that will be added to my list!

I received the itinerary for our start time with the hairdresser. We have to start at 1.30am! Good thing I will be super duper excited………no chance of falling asleep!!
