  • 11th June 2010!!
    • Venue booked and deposit paid
    • Registrar provisionally booked, been to give notice, awaiting confirmation
    • Wedding night accommodation booked and deposit paid
    • Photographer booked, need to pay deposit tonight
    • Honeymoon #1 booked and deposit paid*
    • Chosen bridesmaids, arranged for them to come dress shopping on October 24th (I'm in Essex, one is in Berkshire, one in Edinburgh!)

    • Know how I want to do the invites (going to make them)

    http://www.channelsweddings.co.uk/

    * We're doing safari and beach for the main honeymoon, but later in the year when it's a better time for it. Straight after the wedding we're doing a week at a hotel in the Lake District that we adore and have been to for a holiday for the last two Junes:

    Our regular room there:
    http://www.lakesapplegarth.co.uk/bedrooms.htm (second one down; Superior Four Poster)
    They have an amazing chef and the food is probably our favourite we've had anywhere. I think it'll be really relaxing to go somewhere familiar after the wedding day, and we'll still have the excitement of the big honeymoon to come :D
