Well hello there! I have some updates for you.....
Mum, Sami, Dad and I are meeting with the wedding coordinator at The Rosendale tomorrow evening to discuss prices etc. I have no idea how much we are looking at so I've tried not to get too excited about having the wedding reception there as it could be a fortune and out of budget but at least we'll know tomorrow. I will of course update you on that tomorrow.
On Saturday we have a formal viewing at Dulwich College. We are going to see The Old Library to see if we want to get married in there so, all going well, we could potentially have a wedding date by Saturday. I know both venues have the date we want for next year so hopefully we like both venues and both venues are affordable.
Weirdly, Sami and I were watching a comedy program last night (Toast of London) with one of Sami's favourite comedians and they were filming in The Old Library! Sami spotted it and I said Oh yeah! So we got to see the inside which looked very nice.
Lots of odd things like that keep happening. I mentioned in my Lupus blog about the song. Basically my Mum rang me last week to show me my Nan and Grandad's song - Little Things Mean A Lot by Kitty Kallen. We listened to it and cried because it's so lovely and I said I'll have to incorporate it into our wedding. I showed Sami that evening and he liked it too then a few days later we were watching telly and when the adverts came on we noticed the song playing in the background of a new AXA advert. I got all goosebumps because it's not exactly a popular song these days! It came out in the 50's and I'd never heard it before. So now we absolutely have to have it played at some point during the day.
I've booked a wedding dress appointment for next Thursday (Eeeeek!) and I've decided I'm just going to go with Mum, no bridesmaids or mates. I feel a bit mean not letting anyone else come but after much deliberation I've decided I want it to be a Mummy and Daughter thing. My Dad and I have our special time together in the car on the way to the venue when he then 'gives me away' so I thought this could be mine and my Mum's special bit.
I'm feeling quite calm about everything at the moment. I've got the potential venues, got my colour theme, bridesmaids, I know what cake I want, I know what flowers I want, I've sorted my dress appointment (and I know exactly what dress I want) I've even sorted the guest list, I've found a photographer I like, I've found a wedding singer I like so all I need to do is actually get stuff booked! Once the venue is sorted I'll be able to get on it.
We're having an engagement party next month which I'm really looking forward to. I thought it would be nice for our friends and family to meet before the big day. I don't want it to feel awkward so at least if people have met once then they're not strangers. Plus it's an excuse for a good ol' knees up! Why not?!
Ok well I'm going to go on pinterest now and continue to make my wedding board. I shall update you tomorrow regarding The Rosendale.
