20 Days To Go!!!

OMG! 20 days to go!

With the time ticking away, I am starting to get a little bit panicky over the little things that are still left to do.

We picked up Jonathan's ring last Thursday night, and it's gorgeous. Jonathan tried it on while we were at the shop and it looked really good, and he's very happy with the result. While we were there, we asked about cleaning Stella (my engagement ring) before the wedding. Disappointingly, if we were to send the ring away for cleaning, Craig wasn't able to guarantee that we would get the ring back by the wedding date. So instead, we bought a jar of jewellery cleaner and a new cleaning cloth, and we'll do the cleaning ourselves.

After we collected Jonathan's ring, we ran into my sister Grace and her family. Grace had taken Kiran to get him fitted for his rental suit, and within half an hour, Grace had stumbled upon a suit in David Jones that was also perfect for the occasion. What's more, the David Jones suit was cheaper to buy than the rental suit was, so Grace made an executive decision to buy the suit and cancel the rental. Grace showed me the suit and it's so cute! We can't wait to see Kiran in his smashing suit.

Our lovely lovely functions coordinator Kate has now left for her overseas trip, so we are back to liaising with her boss Janine. We met Janine when we first got engaged, and it's been a few months since we've spoken with her. We hope Kate has a great time overseas, and that Janine is on top of everything to do with our wedding reception.

Our darling friend Miss Fiona has now moved back to Melbourne for good, but she has been working hard to continue designing our Order of Service, place cards as well as our Thank You cards. We hope to finalise the Order of Service in the next few days. Once these get finalised, we still need to print and put them together. Tonight, Jonathan has kindly volunteered his services to help put the booklets together. Here's hoping he won't regret it!

We went and saw our wonderful travel agent Mel yesterday and arranged our travel insurance. Mel has helped us so much, and we are so grateful to have found him. We are now all set for Vanuatu!

We have now confirmed most of our readers for the Church ceremony. We have asked Jonathan's brother David to do a reading, as well as my very good friends David and Chuck to share the Prayers of the Faithful. I have one more person to ask, and hope to get a hold of our final reader by tomorrow.

Today, I wrote to Janine to finalise the reception details. We have finally decided on using a DJ, after weeks of going back and forth on the idea. In the end, we just couldn't be bothered looking after the music on the night, so we'll pay for someone to look after it for us.

I also wrote to our lovely florist Jennie to get a revised quote on our flowers. We've decided not to go with floral arrangements in the church, so the price should reduce a little. We can't wait to see the gorgeous floral creations that Jennie has in mind for us.

I confirmed numbers with our gorgeous cake lady Diane. Mmmm ... I can't wait to dig into our wedding cake in 20 days time!

My next dress fitting is this Friday. The dress is coming along very nicely and it's so beautiful in every way. I can't wait to wear the beautiful dress in 3 weeks!

All the plans are falling into place. I will have an itinerary soon, detailing where and when everyone is suppose to be for the days leading up to the wedding. As soon as I draw it up, I hope to feel a lot better about having a "proper" project plan.

I can't believe it's only 20 days to go! Woo hoo!
