It occurred to me that I haven't really written about our forthcoming wedding yet. No particular reason. I don't feel there is much to talk about, at least I didn't, but last week I went wedding dress shopping for the first time and WOW - I think that really brought it home - I'm getting married!!!

I feel I am on top of the organisation - the venue has been booked for over a year, the photographer is booked, the bridesmaids dresses are bought, the guest list is almost finalised, even the honeymoon is almost in the bag. I have decided on a loose theme to tie together the table decor, the cake, the flowers and the stationery - I am currently making some prototype invitations, once I decide on the design the first batch will go out early November.

After one day in only three shops I think I have found THE dress. My mum is coming down in a couple of weeks to give her all important opinion. Unfortunately, these bridal shops don't let you take photographs, (which is ridiculous), so it is very difficult to juggle the memories of the different dresses in your head and it is even harder to convey to your mum what you look like in a dress with only a picture from the internet.

I need to make a decision this month because it takes 5 months for the dresses to be ordered in! Then 6-8 weeks for any alterations.

So, what's left? The disco, the mens suits, menu tasting, the rings ...

The next few months are probably going to pass very quickly!
