Making my own wedding invitations is nowhere near as fun as making Jemma’s was? Even though these are easier and quicker with no room for artistic differences and I can knock out them out faster than one a minute, making Jemma’s wedding invitations was just so much more fun. Maybe it’s because there were other people helping. Some fun chat and girly giggles between bridesmaids. It was much more of a social experience.

There’s not really anyone around to help me with mine.

I’m thinking of writing a story or two, just to see how it comes out. I’ll probably serialise anything I write here so anyone wandering past can give feedback if they want. But I don’t think it will be for a while. I’m too busy playing viva pinata 2!

It’s such an awesome game. I’m surprised I can find time to even be on the internet. Viva Pinata!!!

So Jemma and Benjies wedding was over a week ago and went really well. I hope they agree.

On to the exciting topic of my own wedding! So far we have a church, reception venue, a band, a tentative photographer booking and a good feeling about a horse and carriage booking.

I don’t know what else I need to do! Oh well I’m sure it’ll all come together on it’s own right…right?

I’ve been told that there are at least 3 people reading my blog…not two! It’s wednesday evening and the wedding is in 3 sleeps time. Rehearsal tomorrow then friday it’s nails and a BBQ round my house. EXCITING!

Before I write this post properly I’m going to have to find Zemanta again. It wanders off like a lost child at intermittent intervals.

How annoying, I can’t seem to get it back up…I will look into it later.

So onto the post. All the little details for Jemmas wedding seem to be coming together now and it’s really gratifying watching it all fit into place. I’m sure the big day will be even more special for me, knowing I played a small part in it.

Jemma and I spoke about the logistical problems she’d encounter carrying out her bridesmaidly duties and I’m glad we did. I’d never demote her but it’s really helped me knowing that she has thought about it already. Being so close to her own wedding, I didn’t want to bring up my niggling worries!

It’s amazing how theraputic I’m finding this blog. Probably because I’m safe in the knowledge that only two people read it and they already know how crazy I am!

Well that’s all for today, tomorrow I have much to do and many phonecalls to make. That ought to keep me busy!

Although I’m not going to kid myself into thinking thats there’s a whole load of people reading this religiously.

Wedding plans have come on in leaps and bounds and it’s really cheering me up. We’ve got both venues booked and save the date cards will be sent out as soon as my dinosaur stamper turns up and I can lug the printer down from the spare room. I think most of the stuff for the moment has been done. Of course I’m fitting it all in around helping Jemma out.

Also hoping now to honeymoon in Gibraltar, it’ll be kickass!

So wedding date is set for 4th July 2009. I basically have a year to pull this together. I love a challenge.

So we should probably talk about mongooses now, it’s been a little while and I haven’t mentioned them once. But what to say? They live in family groups, can kill snakes and Rudyard Kipling wrote a cute story about one once. I  really like mongooses and often wonder if they make suitable pets. Has anyone else got something to say about mongooses?

We’ve got the vicar coming over  tomorrow to talk weddings and the house is a tip. I have less than 24 hours to make it presentable and instead of doing that I’m writing a blog post. Also I said that Jem and Benjie can keep some boxes here whilst they’re in limbo and I have no idea where they can actually go. Add onto that my spare room full of rubbish and maybe you’ll see why I am procrastinating a little. It’s too much for one person!

I am really excited about the vicar coming though, I don’t know how much we’ll actually achieve tomorrow but the thought that we are making a definate step towards getting married is more than enough to make me happy.

Now…back to the hard work

p.s. Benjie, if you read these at all, I love Zemanta because it’s so random! Why it thought this picture was relevant I’ll never know!
