Well this weekend has been rather chilled out. It seems to me that the weekends The Mister and I spend Up North we spend so much time running around, and when we are Down South we spend our time sitting on the sofa, browsing the internet and sorting our wedding plans form a distance.
So, this weekend we are at my house and it has been rather nice. Today we went to Hertford for a wander around the charity shops and lunch and whilst we were there we popped into the Oxfam Bookshop and picked up a book called Wedding Readings and Musical Ideas. I have been pondering what sort of readings we should have at our wedding ceremony as neither of us really want the usual 1 Corinthians 13 type stuff. Some of the examples in this book are absolutely hilarious. Cheesy and generally quite nasty, but there are a couple we are taken with. Paul thinks we should have Proverbs 31... I think not!!!!
The other thing that has happened is that the vicar who is meant to be taking our wedding has left and I really don't want the Rector to do it because I think he is a miserable unchristian man! So, we now have to try and find an alternative. Quite frankly it is one stress we could do without!!!!
Other than that plans are going well. The church and venue are sorted (although the church might have to change!), the bridesmaids picked and their dresses and mine sorted. The food is organised, as is the wedding cake thanks to my lovely Auntie Jen and Auntie Josie. I have made all the wedding invitations and order of services and the honeymoon is booked. So we have done loads... just have to buy our wedding rings, organise The Mister's suit, wedding cars, the flowers, somewhere to live, a job for me, the wedding service, selling my flat, moving all my stuff Up North and quite a few other bits and pieces.
It all seems a little more daunting when you look at it like that!
