16 Days To Go!!!

16 days!

Tonight, Jonathan is vying for "Fiancé of the Year" and will be taking me to see Wicked at the Capitol Theatre as his wedding present to me. I have always wanted to see Wicked - we've both read the book and loved it, so tonight is going to be simply amazing.

I now have the unenviable task of finding a perfect wedding present for Jonathan!

I had my final dress fitting today. This is it. The next time I see my dress, it will be all put back together just as it should be, and it will be the dress I wear on the big day. And it will be the first time Mum and Grace will have seen me in the dress too. I am very much looking forward to showing it off.

My make up trial is tomorrow, so here goes nothing!

Janine from the Vibe Hotel Milsons Point has been very busy dealing with my questions, which are flying thick and fast to her now. So many questions, so little time, and Janine has been an absolute trouper dealing with all my queries. We hope to have everything (and I mean everything to do with the wedding reception) finalised by no later than mid next week.

I finally got around to asking my darling friend Lloyd to do a reading for us at the church on the wedding day. Lloyd readily agreed, so we are all set for the wedding day, and the Order of Service can be finalised and printed. Here's hoping Miss Fiona will have time to finish designing it soon, as I need to get it all printed at work and taken home to be put together.

The special candle for our Candle Ceremony has been ready for pick up for a couple of days, so on my way back from the dress fitting, I dropped in to the Church Store and collected it. So pretty!

Funniest thing about my excited wedding countdown is the reaction (i.e. mild panic) that is being felt at work by my managers. "You can't have 2 and a half weeks off" and "Can't you just get married, have a day off and come straight back to work" have been mentioned a number of times, mostly in jest, but I suspect there is an underlying tinge of panic behind the sentiment. I always counter with "just wait till I take baby leave", which always make them panic more, which in turn makes me giggle.

16 days to go. Yippee!
