The countdown to becoming a Mrs is on!
There are only 677 days until OJ and I tie the knot and I am now in full wedding planner mode. To be fair we have our wedding "planned" we just have to pull it altogether now. The date is set, the church is booked and bridal party finalised. We have our colour scheme, we know what colours we want our bridal party in and I have a few dress styles in my head (well, in my very large wedding scrapbook!). OJ knows his style of suit too, even which shop he wants to purchase it from (talk about super organised).
Now all we have to do is work hard and bring our plans to life. People say weddings aren't cheap and yes they're right. But you don't have to spend thousands of pounds. It's all about budgeting where you can. I have seen some lovely boutiques that do their own range of dresses and they look as good as, if not better, than the top designer dresses. We're also asking our bridal party to pay for their dresses/suits. It might sound cheeky but it's actually quite common and they are all happy to do so. Those 2 things alone really cut down the budget.
And where we have saved money, we will then add a fun element to the wedding. We are actually planning on having a wedding-style bouncy castle! Yes I said bouncy castle đ We love to have fun and it will keep not only the kids entertained but also encourage people to bring out their inner child!
The only part I am dreading for this wedding in the guest list and seating plan. I have a large family and quite a lot of family friends who I would like to be there, so it shall be a stressful time making sure everyone gets invited and then seating them all. Oh the joy!
But what I can't wait for more than anything? Is to say my vows to the love of my life. To tell him my love for him and how I promise to always be there. And to hear the Priest say "I now pronounce you husband and wife"
And to finally become a wife. A definite dream come true.
