So, its the final week count down and I have just had an email from mum which appears to imply that they aren't doing the seating plan today which is what they were supposed to be doing. The seating plan is one joy that I have not had the pleasure of being part of. As i don't even really know over HALF the people coming to the wedding (that includes my family too) it seems inpossible for me to make any placing reccommendations!! So, if the fights break out I can stand back and say
"Nowt to do with me!!"
Second last day of work also, then three weeks off!!!!! How cool is that? I've only been here about 4 months and already major time off! They've been great though, I told them at the interview that I was getting married and they were happy to accommodate. They've even helped me get extra days off to cover what I needed (so I didn't have to take unpaid leave) by extending my contract by two months (i'm currently on a temporary contract). Have to admit I have become a little distracted.....
Poker tonight, last one for about 4 weeks. Sounds like a few people are coming along, hope its not too late a night.!! I'm not counting Sunday as to be honest it just seems like a bit of a waste of time!! Particularly when you could be using the time doing something wedding related!
Final Countdown - Don't People Write Things Down Anymore?
Well,
Just had an email from mum saying that the venue wants to know when the photographer and videogrpaher are turning up next Thursday! Now, I will stand corrected but I am pretty darn sure that we told them this at lease once if not twice as soon as we knew oursleves. It worries me slightly that the venue doesn't keep better records. But as I say I may be wrong, probably am, or I missed the point! That wouldn't be the first time.
Well, David has been band, photographer and videographer so I direct mum's request to him. Apparently the photographer is on holiday till Monday 11th and we can't get hold of the videographer. So the venue will have to wait. I have made a guess at the time, cos I didn't write it down as I was assuming that the venue was keeping a record, this is another reason why I was sure they knew, becuase everything they don't know is written down by us and as the inforamtion is passed on it can be removed from this list!
Hang on...
Follow up email from mum..
oh no, she has been let lose with the book dad bought to 'keep himself right' which, along with the word of our wedding planner, has become the gospel according to dad. Apparently:
Groom pays for
Ring
Gift for bride (optional)
His outfit
Expenses for the ceremony venue so I suppose that means the donation to the church
Bride's & bridesmaid's bouquets !!!!! and the buttonholes and corsages
Gifts for attendants ( bridesmaids, pages,best man and ushers) and flowers for both mothers
Transport for him and best man to ceremony and bride to reception
Honeymoon etc
Bride pays for
Groom's ring
Gift for groom ( optional )
Hairdresser for herself and bridesmaids altho nowadays it says the bridesmaids may pay!!!!!
Sounds like I get a pretty good deal!!!
David cough up....

Dad's Birthday
I t was dad's birthday today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
so we headed off to do some off road driving (and that wasn't just getting there), laser pigeon shooting and quad biking.
It really was a great day and a load of people turned up who even I wasn't expecting!!! I 'll get the photos up at some point! The quad biking was very muddy but alot of fun. david came off the bike though and hurt his wrist, really quite badly, but did the macho thing of saying 'I've kind of hurt my wrist' and saying nothing more so no one really made anything of it until it started swelling up...
If he wanted to get out of the wedding.....

SWEETIES!!!!!
Got the sweets in for the favours so have been wrapping chocolate with voile like a woman possessed!! They are all done though, just three sit downs to do 92 (then I ran out of ribbon) favours, that should be enough as RSVPs have started coming back and we are at something like 81 people and 13 kids (not that children aren't people but they aren't in terms of favours. They are getting their own!!) Lucky things I'm not... I want a favour!
This is actually run two of the favours as the first time we bought some lovely little edible silver leaf covered choclates.. and little they were, so we have had to bulk them out a bit, and to be honest it has made a much nicer looking gift! Hurray for mishaps that lead to creation...
In the same boxes came the disposable cameras that we are putting on each table, so peeps can take photos of the goings on. To be honest I am most looking forward to seeing the ones we get from the chldren's tables!! Embarrassing photos aplenty...

The Pipes - The Pipes!!!!!
If they are calling.... run away.
I had wanted to be piped up the aisle to Highland Cathedral, really love that song! But now it has been recommended that we get piped back down the aisle, but what to? I haven't liked anything so far, and when people keep asking you and playing songs at you over and over, at some point you have to crack....
