This week has been hectic to say the least. I got back to Cardiff on monday after moving all my stuff to Simon's flat on Saturday and have been doing weddingy stuff for the last week!
I have never organised so much craft in my life!
Here we are, the day before my wedding day. It hasn't really hit me yet that it is tomorrow. My dress is downstairs, my bag is packed up, we are just about to leave for the rehearsal, everyone is on their way to Cardiff, and loads of people keep messaging me asking various questions! It's finally here. After all this planning, tomorrow I will be married to the best man in the world.. Wow!!!
I just wanted to sign off by saying a massive thankyou. Thanks to all my faithful readers of this blog. For the support over the last few months, and for journeying with me! It has been quite an adventure and an honour to be able to share it with you.
I hope you have all been able to get to know me better and to have a little insight into why Simon & are choosing to commit to each other tomorrow.
So here's to the end of our engagement, and the beginning of our marriage! Thanks you guys - it's been a blast!

A Hen Party
This is LONG overdue, but I thought you might like to hear about my hen party that happened about 4 weeks ago.
I had the hen in Cardiff and the whole thing was organised by Mel my best friend. There was a group of around 9 of us who came along including two of my friends who live up north and travelled all this was especially to see me!!! We all met up at Cardiff Central and then we received our 'challenges'...
Mel split us up into teams and we had a list of challenges to complete - all of which were hilarious!!! We had great fun wondering round Cardiff asking strangers to carry me over thresholds, walk me down aisles, and give me wedding/marriage advice. We also had to find as many people called Simon as possible, as many called Richard as possible (my Dad's name), and something old, new, borrowed and blue amoungst other challenges.
After a long afternoon of challenges, we went to Bella Italia for food and wine and to count up the scores. Also, I didn't know but each team had another challenge which was to get me as many free gifts as possible! So I had LOADS of makeup and purfume samples as a little prize! After dinner, some of the girls came back to my house and we had a sleepover. It was just so much fun, and great to see friends. The next time I see most of them will be at the wedding which is crazy! Not long now!
Here is all of us at the station
Challenge - Find a man called 'Simon' and get him to assume the position of the Groom in the wedding Ceremony..
Challenge - Find a man to carry Joanna over a threshold of your choosing
Challenge - Something 'borrowed'
Challenge - Something 'old'
Me and two of my lovely bridesmaids :)
