Well, we aren’t very good at keeping up a regular blog, are
we?
Our bad.
Sorry
L
Anyway, lots and lots to fill you all in on!!
Some of you
will have received your invites in the last week. They were all handmade with love (awwww!)
Dan may have gone into a strop when he failed at sticking
the inside of the invite into the card...
It. Was. Hilarious.
(Dan: Dan does not DO CRAFTS.)
Dan and I are both eagerly awaiting your replies and your
menu choices. I know it’s still early days but I’m hoping the more I can
organise now the more time I have later on if something goes wrong!!
All ready to get sent off! We were sat in Costa Coffee preparing ourselves for posting them.
There’s still the evening invites left to send, but they’ll
be closer to December. (yes, I do have them ready to write up). I happened to
find some Christmas cards in the right colours and just had to get them!!
All of the bridesmaids are sorted now, their shoes and
dresses are all bought. Just have to wait till December to buy a dress and
shoes for my little niece. (CANNOT WAIT TO DO THAT) She’s going to be the
cutest little bridesmaid EVER. My 4 fully grown bridesmaids all look absolutely
stunning in their dresses; two in teal and two in purple.
I’m actually quite surprised I’ve managed to get them all
sorted so quick. With how spread out we all are I thought it would take a lot
longer! But shopping trips in Merry Hill, Leicester and Leeds have lead to 4
happy ladies and one happy Jen.
My lovely Groom- to- be(!!!) has made a startling decision; he
wants an interesting coloured suit. Not one of these black, grey or navy boring
ones. Something more like....purple or teal.
(In all fairness we have seen some LOVELY suits in both
colours.)
So I may have encouraged this strange idea. As long as those
Ted Baker shoes look good with the suit I’ll be alright. J
The centre-pieces have changed a slight bit, but Dan’s
fabulous Aunt and her equally fabulous husband are helping us out with them. Luckily
the new ideas have given me some inspiration and I’m drawing up new designs and
can’t wait to get started on making some stuff! They are going to look more
like the picture from the last post. :D
In February we went to a jewellers and got THE RINGS. It
took us a while to pick...well...it took me a while to pick. (In the end I went
for a shiny one) Dan was a classic man about it and picked the first one he
saw. They are now sitting in their bags and I want to open them soooo bad!
BIG ASS MASSIVE NEWS!
I have a dress.
Jen’s Wedding Dress
Debacle:
I visited a bridal
shop and tried on some dresses like this...
I loved them on the
hanger and had had my heart set on that style for a while. But when I tried
them on I felt absolutely ridiculous. I was uncomfortable and just hated them.
They did not suit me.
I was convinced that
the wedding was off.
Then I tried on a few
simple dresses.
I was happier in this
style; understated and then I could blend into the background. I was happy but
my mum was clearly unconvinced. She literally begged me to try on a few more in
different styles. I wasn’t having any of it, until I saw a dress in a window...
I think that’s everything...
We promise we won’t leave it as long next time.
And next time, it’s Dan’s turn to write a post. :-P
That’s all till next time! Love Millsby. XX
