As you may know by now, our dream honeymoon is not really an option at this time of year as Cancun and our second choice The Bahamas suffer from rainy and hurricane season respectively in September and we didn't fancy that. Instead we have booked a short "mini-moon" for straight after the wedding and plan to have our proper honeymoon early next year.
It's been ages since our last update and we can't believe that the wedding is next week!! Our last post said that we were pretty much sorted but it was a lie! We had loads left to do and didn't realise how much until we sat down and talked through what was left!
It's been a while since our last update so we thought we'd say a little something. We have just 14 weeks to go and not much left to do and we're getting that nervous feeling that you get before you set off on a long journey convinced that you've forgotten something.
Well here we are, 21 weeks to go and we have almost finalised all wedding plans. It's certainly something we should be proud of as pretty much everyone we have come into contact with has been shocked to find out that we only really set aside 7-8 months to 'plan' for the wedding.
Marie-Anne has decided on a dress and I have it on good authority that she looks very beautiful in it and grinned like a Cheshire Cat the whole time she was wearing it.
Good service is everything. No less than 3 companies have recently lost our business because of their poor service.
We registered our notice of intent to marry today and if no objections are raised before 20th April, then we are a free to go ahead and marry on 14th September. (Don't go getting any ideas any of you!)
By now your invites should be in the post so we've created a page just for RSVPs. All you need to do is write your name (or the names of the people in your party) and tick the relevant box for attending or not attending.
A special thank you must go out to Marie-Anne's aunt Alfie who has kindly offered to pay for our wedding car.
We had been looking into wedding cars for weeks and it seemed no matter how hard we tried we couldn't find a wedding car solution that we could afford without dipping into the honeymoon fund short of sending Marie-Anne off to the biggest day of her life in a taxi!
The date has been officially set!
We are giving notice of our intent to marry at Bristol registry office on April 4th and will be getting married on Friday 14th September at 11.30am at The Mayoral Room, The Old Council House, Corn Street, Bristol, BS1 1JG
