My mum came to visit at the weekend and we went looking at wedding dresses. The good news is I have made my decision. The dress is chosen.

I am also nearly finished making our honeymoon bookings. We are not having a typical honeymoon - there will be a fair amount of travelling, but that's the kind of holiday we both enjoy.

We're going to Italy. Our trip begins with three nights in luxury in romantic Venice. I have always wanted to go and I think I am looking forward to this part the most. Then we will take the train to Florence where we will spend 2 nights before picking up a hire car and driving to our private villa in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. We will spend a relaxing 7 nights lazing by the pool, drinking wine and taking day trips to surrounding towns and villages. We then continue south to Rome, where we drop off the hire car and spend 3 nights seeing all the sights. From here we'll either pick up another hire car or use public transport to get to Sorrento where we will be based for the final 5 nights of our trip. From here we aim to take a day trip to Pompeii and do the Amalfi coast drive.

I cannot wait! I think I'm looking forward to this more than the wedding!
