life after wedding

The Best Day,

All the build up and worry, stitching, unstitching, fittings, revamps, add ons and everything else was worth it for the most wonderful day, the sort you want to do again!

What a wonderful day! Everything went beautifully, even the rain stopped for the photo's. This was just a quick one after the ceremony had taken place!
The speeches were witty and not too long, a few shocks like my bridesmaid daughter telling about her sister being covered in puke and having to be cleaned up by her partner, ending with "did the alarm bells not ring then". And The other bridesmaid telling about her cousin's ingenuity at photo copying driving licences to get into night clubs (they didn't succeed) to the mother's horror!But there were far more beautiful and lovely things said about them both. No brides could have looked more radiant and in love.
And here they stand just after the registrar had finished the service, I didn't take many photos but I expect there will be many more on facebook and the official ones so I'll keep you posted. I heard you all groan!
I found out there is life after wedding, I don't know where the time has gone. I've been trying to de-clutter by giving away a wardrobe and chest of draws! I still have little piles of 'don't know what to do with things'. I really have tried to throw things out but I am good at hiding, squeezing and covering over all sorts of things. Plus it doesn't help when you have a big house with lots of rooms, so I usually end up moving things around from place to place!!

Jo and Nayera, may you have all you need and desire, Along and happy life together, with love from Me

lists

To stop me from panicking, I was advised to do a list. So I did a list, trying to put things that needed doing on allocated days leading up to people arriving and even a chart to show where people would be sleeping. The last part was easier than I thought, Mind you, they haven't arrived yet or been shown to their allocated rooms!
Well---- the first thing got done, then I seemed to miss Tuesday out completely apart from one small thing. The 2nd item for Tuesday I have done today. And the first thing for tomorrow, I started today.
Confused? Well so am I!
I'm not panicking, else I wouldn't be sitting here writing this drivel.
Will there be a life after wedding?
I hope so, we shall see.
It's getting late so goodnight, sweet dreams (oh that would be nice, just to sleep)
May our God bless you.

Thought you might like these two turtle doves, they remind me of--let's see----wedding!
Ahhhhhhhhg.

Closer


The Wedding is now only a few days away! It has been so hectic with sewing and all that. Shopping for Fascinators to match shoes, handbag, wondering if I made the right choice in colours. Hair redone (not sure about that either!) Ah well, it will be too late to change anything soon. A bit like Christmas, I love it when the shops finally close because then you can't do anything about things forgotten or thought you had in the cupboard only to find they aren't there!
Hope we haven't forgotten anything. Poor Jo and Nayera have got to remember to bring everything here except for dresses and hair bits
and pieces. They have to bring cup cake cases, wedding cake, decorations and one hundred other things!
The sewing room has to disappear to make room for a bedroom once again as people (mostly family) are coming to stay. It's getting exciting, I can tell you. Can't sleep at night, can't get up in the morning. I'm sure you've all been there at some time or another.
I'll bore you all to death, silly people who may look at my blog, with wedding photos.
See you all soon my best beloveds!!!!
