Hi everyone this is our new wedding list , which is replacing the house of fraser wedding list
Please remember to contact the phone number at the bottom if you are thinking of buying anything

We have now decided to do our own list as we feel it will be better for everybody and these are things that we actually want and not just put on here for the sake of it! Also this way it means you actually get to see what you have bought.

Please don’t be put off by the bigger and more expensive items but we wanted to make sure there is plenty of variety on here and something for everyone who wants to buy us a gift. We have found things at the cheapest prices so although you may be able to get them elsewhere we have done the bargain hunting for you!

Also, remember, it’s your presence and not your presents that count!!!

10 weeks to go!!!!

Well, it all getting a bit crazy again now! I had been warned after the initial burst of busyness it would go quiet and then mad again and thats exactly what has happened!!

I had last week off work and spent most of it getting organised but i loved every minute of it :-) We have our planning meeting at the venue on 19th where we will finalise all our numbers and discuss how the day will go. The day before that, the 18th, i have arranged for the majority of the men to go and be fitted for their suits. I cant wait to see them on and hope they look ok with the waistcoats we have picked. Dan still says i cant see him in his suit so i will have to go away when he tries his on! Im sooooooo excited about seeing them though :-)

We have completed our forms to be sent to the registrar which is all our vows, readings and music and we finalised our music for the ceremony with Glen and im pretty sure its going to sound fab.

Also, the weirdest thing happened when i was emailing Scott, our photographer.......i found out he is friends with Racheal (VERY small world!) and so he has done us a very good deal ;-) He is doing portrait sessions now for £70 and you get all the pictures on a CD so im thinking of having that done with the bridesmaids but it just depends if we can fit it in as i just dont have any time at the moment!! Definitely recommend Scott though, he is very friendly and most importantly he always replies to emails etc really quickly. I hate it when people take forever to reply!!

We went to House of Fraser to do our wedding list and to cut a very long story short we are not having it now! I am going to try and close it but if i cant please ignore the list!!!! Basically we were really disappointed as a lot of the stuff we wanted we couldn't add to the list and we felt really pressured to put things on it that we didnt want. They insisted we have at least £1500 worth of stuff on our list so we ended up putting on a digital camera and photo frame for about £300 each just to get it done and get out of there! I dont want people to look on our list and think we are asking for expensive items because we are not! So we are doing our own list now with a few bits and pieces that can be bought if people dont want to give the Lakeside vouchers. This is still in the pipeline and i have delegated it to Dan so he will keep you updated on that one! Hehe

Me and Maria also organised our HAG do which is a joint Hen/Stag do mainly for family and people that cant get to the main hen and stag do's. We are going to the Ivory Rooms in Billericay on 7th November which is ONE WEEK before the wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really looking forward to it as its a chance for family to celebrate with us before the big day and also the girls from work will be coming so that will be nice. Full details on this are on Facebook.
The main hen and stag do's are only 5 weeks away now, i cant wait!! I keep getting little bursts of excitement about everything :-))

Well im sure there will be more posts on here now as things are starting to happen now!
