Full Steam Ahead

Holy cow, has it really been almost two months since I last blogged?

Oops.

As you can imagine, with a wedding coming in about two months (I refuse to say two at the moment because I’m desperately clinging on to the idea that it’s three months not two), you can hardly blame me for being a complete stresshead about the ten million things to do (or should I say, BUY) before the wedding.

(I am now an expert at guillotine-ing, thanks to having to redo the invites after a massive typo error… I put the wrong WEDDING DATE *facepalm*)

The main stress at the moment is the weather – it’s the only thing we can’t control. I’m hoping the Perth winter will be mild as always and that it’ll be a lovely sunny day. All other stresses will have to be delegated, or so I’ve been told by the future SIL, the bridesmaids and the family. Somehow, I don’t think that will happen, knowing how stubborn I can be about retaining control over things. Oops.  I mean, I can’t delegate the buying to people, right…? hehehe.

Speaking of shopping, not to brag but I think that my net savvy has come in really handy. Not only have I found some fabulous items for Ball and Chain day… but I’ve also managed to find some items which are cheaper on different websites. Score!

While we’re going for a “Weird and Wonderful Wedding” theme (which really doesn’t describe it and no, I’m not leaking any wedding details right now! Hah!), I’m starting to think I should rename it the In Love Online theme. It’s probably more apt seeing how the boy and I met online… and MOST of the things we’ve got for the reception come from various online shops.

While our bank account is crying for mercy, it’s really quite exciting to have all these packages come in to us… and to see everything slowly, but surely, falling into place.

Aside from the financial element of wedding planning, the social life has also taken a bit of a hit. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out dancing on a hardcore, near-daily basis. And I really miss it. But planning as well as driving has left me absolutely knackered. Bah.

Never mind. Two more months and I’ll get back into it properly.

Two more months. Eep.
