Ook, just under 400 days now (that’s just under 2 years).
So, I finally have my bridesmaid list final and official.
The concrete list is as follows:
Maid Of Honour – Miss Christine Cummins
Bridesmaid – Miss Mariko Hulme
Bridesmaid – Mrs Joanne Matchett-Murphy
Bridesmaid – Miss Kara Jackson
All four of them are so very special to me in their own ways. Christine I have known for near 14 years now, Mariko and I met on a forum, lived together as house mates at one stage and have been so close ever since, Joanne and I met on the same forum as Mariko and I did and have been developing a stronger and stronger friendship every day since. The three of them are pretty much considered as sisters of mine. And Miss Kara is my Niece, my brothers oldest child. She’s my world and would be lost without her.
Basically the theme colours will be a nice almost pastel yellow and white… Hopefully. Unless I change my mind before then XD…again!!
I am constantly trying to validate to myself that it’s worth cutting corners elsewhere so I can have the reception in a place like a club or RSL or somewhere so we don’t have to worry about catering or cleaning up etc. but there’s that little voice in my head saying that I should just give up and go the cheaper option. My dream wedding, even on a budget is to have it at a nice clubhouse of some variety which is why I don’t want to give up on the idea so easily. Rodney isn’t particularly fussed where we have it which is good, gives us more flexibility and range to look into.
I am lucky however. Joanne has offered to make the cake which is fantastic.. no-one makes Cake better than Jo…and the design is a bit of a surprise. My dress my MIL is making, and hopefully she won’t mind modifying Kara’s dress a little. Kara has asked if her dress can have a few little alterations, and what my little girl wants.. she gets =) The invites and trinkets I will get together with my girls to do and I am going to ask my cousin’s husband Allan to do the photography for me.
There’s probably more I wanted to update on but am too tired to do so atm XD
