Thanks for the tag.<BR/><BR/>Megan - I am just looking forward to the "it being over" at the moment, but that is being over organising (or not).<BR/><BR/>leechbabe - thanks for putting it all into perspective for me!<BR/><BR/>baby amore - we had to set a date otherwise I would still be dithering.<BR/><BR/>Rhubarb Whine - lol no, nor did most of my impulses!<BR/><BR/>Sorry - M+B - I have already got him! Not really but the line was there to be used.<BR/><BR/>mommamia - thanks.<BR/><BR/>Debby - the <I>only</I> things holding me back from hoiking it all to Granite Glen is (a) my friends who have organised to fly to a wedding 2000 km away would never forgive me if I tacked a 200km drive on the end of it, and (b) my family would never forgive me for doing so (although it would save them all travel time!).<BR/><BR/>Jayne - see, the laziness in me is saving me having to arrange the elopement.<BR/><BR/>Kimbah - see above - and hi!<BR/><BR/>tiff - thanks - party is what is being aimed for rather than perfect anyway.<BR/><BR/>Melody - honestly, the reasn for the panic <B>now</B> is because I didn't start planning back when we set the date (6 weeks ago) or when we got engaged (16 months ago) - its called delayed panic.<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth - I am all for comfort being the dress code!<BR/><BR/>Bettina - thanks.jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17322709527738134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-29778082556179717312008-08-28T11:51:00.000+10:002008-08-28T11:51:00.000+10:00It wouldn't be a 'proper' wedding if stuff didn't ...It wouldn't be a 'proper' wedding if stuff didn't go all wrong! <BR/><BR/>Hope you get it sorted hon. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-14357841274652613122008-08-28T05:58:00.000+10:002008-08-28T05:58:00.000+10:00If you have the people who are important to you ne...If you have the people who are important to you near, some decent enough food and drink and you are wearing comfy shoes whatelse is necessary?<BR/><BR/>Ok so not everyone will think comfy shoes important but think about how long you will be on your feet and how you will be expected to smile and dance and ......<BR/><BR/>I hope we will get to see photos and I don't think the view is as important as the two of you.ELIZABETHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508304939265970143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-52498197310200821632008-08-27T13:42:00.000+10:002008-08-27T13:42:00.000+10:00Oh yes, I know what you mean.

THe list was creeping up along with the costs and then it was taken out of my hands and I said STOP. (Lucky nothing had been booked or anything!)<BR/><BR/>We organised our wedding in 4 weeks. 12 guests all up, including ourselves. It has to be said that it was the best wedding ever. All that mattered was Lyndon and Monet. And done the way 'we' wanted it done. <BR/><BR/>You'll be right with your plans, it will fall into place. A wedding is always a good excuse to party....<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your words too BTW.

Just cause you, like most folks want their (or their children's or friends) weddings to be perfect--and somehow close to how they've pictured it in their minds. Then, reality hits and you make admentments. And then, you find out, it's really okay. As long as you and your intended love each other and your family/friends are backing you, just have fun! Good food always is a plus, too.<BR/><BR/>My daughter's wedding (10 years ago) was such an ordeal. We catered her two (yes, two!!!) receptions. One in Utah and one here. Man I have never been more exhausted in my life! I think giving birth was easier. No. Cancel that. That particular child gave me back labor and insanely painful labor pains! Okay, so all four of them were painful. And yes; I'd do it all over again if I had to--if I were that young again . . .) Oh, yeah! Weddings--daughter's wedding reception--first was gorgeous! I did the wedding cake--carrot cake with cream cheese icing--which melted in the sun (outdoor reception.) But the fresh flowers that decorated it were gorgeous. And hey! We did survive it all. And we had lots of help from family! Thank goodness!<BR/><BR/>Best of luck on your plans (B plan, at least) will work to make your special day, really lovely and memorable! More than that. May your lives together be a great success ever after!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
