8 weeks to go...

Hello my faithful readers! You may have noticed that I haven't got round to posting anything for a while... this is because I have been too busy planning a wedding to post about planning a wedding. However, after the mad rush of christmas and new year, we have finally arrived in 2014 and this time in 8 weeks time I will be tucking into a hog roast with my new husband!

So, here is a quick update - Simon remains busy with work and I start my new job on monday. We have both been so busy the last few months!

A good few weeks ago we decided to make our own invitations. I like arty things and thought it would be easy and fun to do... and yes the first few were quite fun! We had an entire evening printing, dismantaling the printer, rebuilding it, running to the shops for extra supplies, sticking, folding and by the end of it we had only completed 20 invitations! Just last week we finished all the invitations and I have decided that I no longer like 'fun arts and crafts.' The invites look awesome though!

We also got Simon's suit fitted. He has chosen a really great suit and is going to look super handsome and smart! I got to try on my beautiful dress. This was very very exciting! I had almost forgotten what it had looked like, as I ordered it months and months ago. I went to the shop with my mum to try it on, and it looked just wonderful! So excited to wear it on the day!

Finally, today I had my makeup trial. One of my oldest friends, Brian, his mum is a makeup artist at Estee Lauder and set me up with one of her colleagues to get my makeup done. It was so nice and relaxing to have someone spoil me, and the makeup looked great too! I don't want to ever wash it off!

Neither me or Simon can quite believe how fast time has started to go. 8 weeks really isn't long to go and we have lots left to do, but our parents are willing to help out with jobs that need to be done, so here's hoping it will all come together! Here's to 2014 and all the new adventures to be had!
