Speaking of potential future wedding bells, joking obviously but seriously good luck!...
We are actually getting a move on with our wedding planning! Found a venue, the bloke has been awesome and booked registrar today but can't pay for someone to marry us until 12 months before the wedding and we've set a date for September next year. Price of venue has hiked up with the predicted guest numbers going up by 10 people now to 40 (invites at least, I'd be surprised if everyone can come, more likely around 30).
Once we confirm we can adjust the final cost to the predicted number of guests as apposed to the max it could be, deposit can be paid and we don't need to worry about much apart from loose a bit of weight and scope out a photographer. I don't plan to do serious dress shopping until near the end of the year but I will keep my eye out. Mainly thinking about what decor I should start making!
Family have all been surprisingly non-mental about wedding stuff (so far) since we last saw them to visit 5 venues up north as its a days drive away from where we live (but near our parents). My sister has been surprisingly awesome recently and has probably earned the title to be maid of honor even though I didn't plan of having any maids, but I like the idea my mum said about the three of us walking down together as my mum will be giving me away. Will be sorting our save the dates as soon as the deposit has been paid.
Scary, stressful and exciting. Looking forward to it being all over but trying to be as calm as you can when inviting and entertaining a load of people you rarely see! Should be worth it though, neither of us have backed out yet.
