I'm back in Wales, and heading off home to Scotland tomorrow (looking forward to going home, but wanting to bring HD with me, I've got far too used to having him knocking around the place). We're just back from The Other Place where we're getting married, we've found a reception venue and I'm feeling much calmer about things. Some of the places we saw were SO expensive (although you really were paying for the venue, which were historic old buildings in the middle of a historic old city, and which were lovely) but I'm happy we've found somewhere that will do what we want for a reasonable price, and we ate there yesterday before coming back here and the food was fabulous, so I'm particularly happy about that (not to mention still full!).
It does mean that we'll be getting married a week later than we originally wanted to, but it's such a weight off my mind to have actually found somewhere. We got to look at the church too (it's the first time I've seen inside the church, as they've been having a new roof so we've not been allowed to go inside before now) - it's still a bit of a building site, and people will be a bit cosy and squashed in as it's quite small, but that's a good thing because it'll be winter, so cosy will mean warm! :) I was beginning to worry we'd never find anywhere - we'll be getting married in December so nearly all the places we asked at were booked up already with Christmas bashes. The place we've found is also only a very short walk from the church, so that's a relief too - trying to get to an out of town venue from a city centre church with no parking would have added another layer of complication.
Now I'm just stressing about going away. It's just over a month, and I need to book flights and stuff this week. HD and I put our diaries together yesterday and I got very stressed - I wonder if the country would agree to adding a few more weeks into April, as I suspect that might be the only way everything gets done. Actually, what it means in practice is that everything will get done except the intended flat tidying spree. Oh well.
And I'm going to buy a laptop next week. Am very excited :)
