Well well well, its officially 2010! Christmas is done and dusted, NYE has been and gone, and we're now just 17 short days out from our wedding.
I'm slightly panicking. Only because there's some big stuff that I still haven't confirmed. Like the hire equipment – every time I sit down and look at the list of equipment I think of something extra we might need. And all the 'might needs' turn into 'definitely needs'
and the price just keeps on skyrocketing. I'm too afraid to commit to finalising the order! The favours haven't been confirmed yet either, but are sort of on the boil, if you know what I mean. Its not just big things though – for some reason my to do list of little things seems to grow by the day...
And then there's the music – FH's job. Seems I still need to project manage that task too!
We're now without our two helpers for the day – and its been damn near impossible to replace them without having to fork out a ridiculous hourly rate, so no solution reached as yet. Guess our guests might have to pour their own drinks and tidy up after themselves – not quite what I had in mind! (So if you know of any cheap/near on free labour available for the 30th of Jan, let me know – we'll feed you, I promise!)
Thank goodness for the internet I tell ya! I've been up countless nights working out the cheapest places to buy tealight candles, silk rose petals and other bits and bobs, and then putting my orders in somewhere near midnight. It has been an exciting week of courier packages arriving, and all from the comfort of my computer desk.
I'm still suffering from broken sleep with my mind racing a hundred miles and hour... I just need to stop and think 'will my guests even notice if this doesn't happen or if we don't have that or if things don't match'. 9 times out of 10 the answer is no.
Most importantly – we've applied for our marriage licence, so if all else fails – at least we can still actually get married, with or without a wedding!
Lowlight of the week – stepping in a pothole and semi-wrecking my ankle! Dance lessons proceeding as planned however.
Highlight of the week – my hen's night this coming Friday!
