Two Months Til I Become A Wife

Dearest blog,



It has been awhile since I updated you.

Quite a lot has happened in the interim.

If you recall, the last time we spoke I mentioned how quite a few things still needed doing, namely in the areas that I assigned L (my sweetheart fiance) to cover.

I'm happy to report that I gave L some very strict deadlines and they worked a treat.

I told him he had to have our Honeymoon booked before Christmas day or I would be SUPER PISSED!
And it worked. Obviously.

So the Honeymoon is all sorted, yay!

He also booked the transport since we last spoke (ooooh, a limo), and now he is working on making a few decortaion-y things for the Reception.


I'm gonna be honest with you, writing a blog about wedding planning has not been as easy as I initially thought it'd be.


A lot of my wedding planning happens over the course of a long time, for example, usually L and I would do a very small amount every few days.

It has been nice having such a long time to plan.

I can't believe we've been engaged for over ten months. It feels like forever.


I received my wedding dress since we last spoke.

The woman at the store told me not to lose any weight, HA! As if I could.



I re-joined the gym and have been TRYING to go three times a week.

I will hopefully be able to stick to that for the next two months.

I'm not worried about not fitting in the dress, it's more to do with dealing with my stress levels/frustrations.

I'm more frustrated than anything else.



I feel better now that I have moved into the house L and I will live in as a married couple (he is staying with his Mum until The Big Day, gotta keep things above board), but I still get frustrated.


Mainly its with people.

I have found the last year a very trying time between me and certain people.

I have done a lot of soul-searching. Realizing who my real friends are.

I've realized I kinda hate social media, but its almost impossible to live in this society without it, ugh!



I barely blog anymore because I just can't be bothered.

I worry about what I'll do when I don't have this wedding to plan.


L and I are going to paint his bedroom (our eventual bedroom) because the walls are a weird green colour and it clashes with EVERYTHING!

I'm happy that we bought me a fruit bowl and right now its filled with nectarines and mandarins- yum!



We have confirmed numbers for the wedding and I have written out the seating chart and place card name-tag thingys. They look pretty great, in my humble opinion.


L and I have planned this wedding almost 100% by ourselves, sadly my Bridesmaids have not had much to do, mainly because I decided to do it all myself (my choice, not theirs!)
But its probably for the best because they are both UNBELIEVABLY BUSY!


I do get a bit sad when I plan by myself.

L helps me a lot but its not at all how I imagined it.


My maid of honour hasn't gotten her dress-hem fixed because Christchurch is crazy expensive and when she tried coming to Dunedin her car broke down!!!!!!
I know she'll get it done though so I try not to worry.



Further more, L and I are finalizing the ceremony, words and what-not.

We both got very very confused when we initially tried to do it so we had to go back to the Minister/Pastor/Dude and ask him to explain it to us.

Hahahaha! Such fun.


I've also been emailing all the vendors and confirming when things need to be paid by, it helps me feel like things are under control.

Which they are.


We also went out on Boxing Day and bought A LOT of sparkling grape and apple juice for the Reception, we looked like crazy people!



But anyway.


Planning is going well, as I'm sure you can see.

It's only two months away, and it is very exciting but also getting very real and is a bit scary.

I cannot wait to marry my wonderful fiance, he is my bestest friend in the whole wide world and it'll be awesome to share our lives together even more than we already are!!!!!


I don't know when I will next update this blog.


Like I said, I find it hard to write sometimes.

Most of the time.


Hahahaa.


But I'll try.





Thanks again for reading!
