    Good luck poppycracker!

    Well it's 7 weeks on Saturday until our big day and it's getting a wee bit overwhelming (not helped by me having a job interview for something I really wanted last week and being very impatient to hear about it!). Things left to do:

    - Write the ceremony, we've got an idea of what we're going to have, just need to bring it all together
    - Chase up bakery about the cake
    - Make the bunting for outside, my sister has made some gorgeous stuff for the inside.
    - Find some friends/family not at risk of breaking down crying if they do a reading
    - Finish gift list
    - Go and confirm flowers
    - Write up briefing for photographer
    - Sort out wine
    - Finish knitting my shawl - on the edging now, I hope to have it done in a month.

    Recently achieved things include my dad getting some of his students to play the clarsach, dressmaker starting alterations, OH getting his outfit sorted and for the aw-factor, my little bridesmaid trying her dress on and it fitting: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chatiryworld/3397807899/in/set-72157604025434061/ (she's into saying 'no' at the moment so hard to get a really good photo!)
    Got married 23rd May 2009, many thanks to all on the Weddings and Anniversaries board for their help and support!

    Lol... well, you are very organised, which is a good thing :D
    You excited?
    Oooh, which dress is it? I've got an amanda wyatt one :D


    I found out this week i'm getting my wedding photgraphy done for free :O
    Been looking for a while now with my mum and dad who offered to pay for pics.
    However, my dad was made redundant a couple of weeks ago, so i said that it didnt matter about a photographer, i didnt want them to pay for that when i know things will be hard but when one of my grandma's friends heard what was happening, he came foward and offered to do it for nothing.
    He normally charges £795 for pics only :O
    So im a very happy lady, i was nearly crying :D

    I am very organised which is handy, i'll still stress though.

    Free photographer? thats fantastic!
    Sorry to hear about your dad though.

    There's a couple of dresses i realllllly like they're alfred angelo dresses but if needs must i may have to result to a dress maker because of funds.
