This is the year.

So it’s been a while, but we are back. And we are definitely still getting married! I think it’s been about 6 months since our last post and there is a fair amount to fill you in on.

Before getting onto the wedding stuff just a quick personal update; we have now moved in together at long last! Jen has got a job in Leicester and is working much harder than Dan. (Dan: her words, not mine.)

Now back to business.

So what have we been doing? Well, I (Dan) have been working really very, very hard. I’ve (and by I, I mean we, clearly) ordered the awesome cufflinks for my groomsmen, decided on the colours of my suit (nearly), and made a note of the processional song, and what has to be the last song of the reception.

Jen meanwhile has done barely anything. She’s ordered half of the bridesmaids shoes, started picking out bridesmaids dresses, has been making a lot of flowers for her brooch bouquets, has been looking hard for wedding dresses, designing place settings for all of the day time guests, designed the centrepieces for the dinner tables, bought her wedding shoes (and then changed her mind and sorted those out too!), made all of the invites by hand (with some lovely helpers!) and a dozen or so other things that I can’t remember off the top of my head. 

So really, she’s not done much.

So everything is coming along quite nicely at the moment, and now that it is 2014, we can no longer say that we are getting married ‘next year’. The year is upon us, and there is still a lot to go.

So...thank you Dan for being really vague.

The date has changed would be my first thing to mention. After some arguing it is now set as Saturday 20^th December 2014. Eeeep.   

The venue has been chosen and the date has been provisionally booked with...OAK FARM HOTEL *fanfare please, thank you*

Nice warm fire place for a cold winters night.

Dan’s section wasn’t completely useless, he was right in saying that I am brilliant and have done a lot.

Invites: check.

(Need to thank my dear mother and mother-in-law to be for their help in making almost 50 of these bad boys!)

                             Mmmm! Glittery goodness!

Wedding diet: ...bugger. 

errmm...we'll just skip over this one for now...

So...yeah...getting there even though there is a lot left to do.

I’ve also chosen Dan’s wedding shoes (both pairs- what a diva!!)

So now that things are moving forwards we will try to keep you updated a bit more often...try ;) 

Thanks!

That’s all till next time! Love Millsby. XX
