Firstly, I sent off cards that I had made to four girls asking if they would be my bridesmaids! I haven't made cards since before uni and it was just so lovely to do something creative and fun.Next, Simon came down for 24 hours... there has never been such a productive 24 hours! During that time he chose the suits, we looked at rings, we met with the vicar, looked at the church and even looked at a venue and did a third draft of the guestlist! Madness!
Talking with the vicar was really good actually. She told us all about the symbolism of the ceremony - including many things we didn't know! Apparently, in the service, the family of the groom sit behind him and the family of the bride sit behind her too. Then at the end they all pair up and walk out together to symbolise the joining of two families! Also, after the vows, the bride and groom walk together to the alter, so that their first steps as husband and wife are towards God! All pretty cool really!
Simon has said I can essentially choose where we go on honeymoon seeing as I am obsessed with travelling, so I have had a great time flicking through holiday brochures!
After Simon went home, Cathie (my housemate from uni and one of my bridesmaids) came down for two days, which was really good fun. I also went to my home church, which I haven't been at in ages and caught up with everyone there. The women were loving the proposal story!
So yep, my life at the moment! Lots of fun!
