The venue has been booked and the date set! We are getting married on 18th October 2014 at Dulwich College in South East London and then on to the reception at The Rosendale Pub. WAHOOO! Now the fun begins!
If you have read previous posts you will have read about some of the spooky wedding related goings on...well I have new one! So a friend of a friend on Facebook mentioned a photographer to me and suggested I 'like' their page on Facebook as they are having a competition - the 300th person to like wins 20% off a wedding photography package. I did it about 20 minutes after it was posted and I was the 300th person! Yipppeeee! I checked out his website and really liked his work so emailed him and said I'm getting married next year etc and he said he would be happy to honour the discount. I found out he covers all of South East London and thought great! I did some more research and didn't really like any other photographers as much so I contacted him and said I think we'd like to go with him. He replied and suggested we meet up this week to discuss everything and it turns out he lives in the road next to mine! It's not that much of a coincidence but it did feel a bit weird.

I feel like (and I risk sounding quite mad here) but it really does feel as though I have someone watching over me with regards to the wedding. So many odd things have happened. I feel like it could be my Granddad. It's a nice feeling and even if it is mad I don't care.
So I'm going wedding dress shopping tomorrow! OMG I can't wait! I want today to hurry up so I can go and put some wedding dresses on! I'm going to try on ALL of them! My Mum is just as excited as I am! We're only going to one shop tomorrow (and hopefully that's it) and then we'll have some lunch after and maybe a celebratory drink - we shall see. It's annoying that I can't tell you all where I'm going or what style of dress I'm hoping to get. I wish I could. I'm sitting here pursing my lips and itching to give you all the details. Never mind - the wedding is only 49 weeks away. Gaaahhh! Seems like a life-time away. I know, I know, it will go quickly blah blah blah. I want to get married NOW!
I realised the other day that I need to be a bit careful with my opinions on here. I have some very strong wedding related opinions and I don't want to upset anyone. For example I wrote in an earlier post about despising chair covers - this is just my opinion and I have been to many weddings where there have been chair covers and I've still loved the wedding. Also, I get it as if the venue's chairs are minging then what are you supposed to do? It just irritates the shite out of me because venues that cater for weddings should just have decent chairs that people don't have to pay £300 to dress with bows.
Weddings are very personal and I'm sure there will be aspects of mine and Sami's wedding that people hate or think 'what the feck is that all about?' and that's fine with me as we all have different tastes. However, I still apologise in advance if you read this blog and I say something mean about something you had at your wedding/plan to have. Feel free to criticise mine..within reason.
