We are at approximately 32 days to go until W-Day. And everything is coming together so well. We have floating candles for the tables (Thank you Nadine!) and I had my hair and make-up practices done yesterday - I can't post pics of those, because Mark isn't allowed to see what I'll look like. But depending on who asks (so only people who can't be there on the day are allowed to ask), I can send the pics out to you. We're working on a music list still, and the wedding license is being picked up today. My mother finally has her outfit for the day sorted (after threatening to wear jeans and a t-shirt), now all she needs is better shoes. I'm wearing my high-heels for the day around the house (I look silly with high-heels and shorts on I can tell you!) to get used to walking in them and what they do to my feet (ouch). So really we're just counting down to certain days - dress fitting, hen's night, bachelor party then the big day. About 61 people will be at the reception (including Mark and myself as the bride and groom). To those of you who can't be there, rest assured I wish so very much that you could be. We will be thinking of our many friends on the day.

We are down to less than 7 weeks to go. And all of a sudden we have all these little things that need to be done - like finding flowers for my hair (done!!) and sorting out the music (started) and writing the ceremony (75% done) and sorting out table decorations
ad infinitum ad nausem. But it's all fun. The Hen's nite will definitely be on the 16th feb, probably starting around 7pmish. And I found today these neat little bottles of bubble mix, shaped like champers bottles and wedding cakes, so we're going to give them to the guests at the ceremony to blow aroundthe bridal party - should hopefully make some interesting pictures. I'm about to start another list of things to organise, my old one which I thought had most of the things we needed to do on it is sadly out of date and no-where near comprehensive enough. And I came up with the brilliant idea of letting some of our friends who can't make the wedding - Dallas, Rich, JT and Robin, Chris, Jeff and Doug (some very close friends from the States and Canada) pick out some of the songs we will be playing at the reception - I've had some beautiful ones suggested so far. And another of our friends from the State, Charlie has had the honour of sending us our first wedding present, a 1st edition copy of 'The Notebooks Of Lazarus Long' by Robert Heinlein. He forever earns a place as an angel for that. Thank you Charlie!
And that's the updates for now, I'm sure there will be a few more to come tho! And I'm going to start taking pictures of what I can - bridesmaids dress, flowers for my hair etc. so you can get an idea of what we have done so far!
