Week 2 - The Bridesmaids are here.

The second week is over and with that a load off my mind.

This week i have noticed the distinct difference between a girl getting married and a boy getting married. The theme that seems to have run through this week has been not to rush things. With the rush of the engagement slightly calming down i found myself wanting to frantically cling on to it. If i had been allowed i would have probably attempted to plan my entire wedding this week. Instead i decided to tell my bridesmaids.

Last week choosing my bridesmaids was preventing me from sleeping, who to choose when there are so many best friends from different parts of my life but logically one can only have so many bridesmaids - more importantly who can afford too many. Different groups of friends, different personalities. For a new bride this is a nightmare.

Bridesmaid number 1. A done deal, my sister the best friend. She is always the one i can turn to, the one i trust and the one i want to be standing next to me on the day.

Maid of Honour - Miss Lucy - Out of all the bridesmaids she is the most similar to myself. Even the thoughts i have had myself she has said out loud. I can rely on her and she is a true gem.

Bridesmaid number 2. Miss Kirsty - My oldest friend, unlike Lucy, Kirsty is my opposite. With every dress I like - she doesn't, but it makes us unique and I love her to piece, there was never a doubt in mind.

Bridesmaid number 3. Miss Paz - A university friend and someone who i can honestly rely on. The reason i love Paz is simple, it's her laugh. When she does i do and she really cares.

Bridesmaid number 4. Miss Kay - My little shocker. My first university friend, my old housemate and someone who has the most remarkable stories you simply have to keep around for fun. I am thrilled she said yes. Always a shoulder there.

I am thrilled with my ladies. However, as mentioned so many to choose. I want them all involved i have asked Miss Kerry and Mrs Laura to do me the honour of reading in the ceremony. With Miss Nia singing at the reception.

Today we all went for lunch and it was lovely to simple relax, have fun and enjoy it. It's a huge relief and weight off my mind.

Also as an update this week i have tickets to attend the National Wedding show !!! Me and Mum are going at the beginning of March to get ideas, try some bits out and hopefully start to get pictures forming in my mind.

On the venue hunt i have a total of 7 possibilities so dates to visit them will need to be booked in soon.
What i have noticed is that i almost have too many facts for this blog to be creative with. Maybe after the rush of things this can start to get more imaginative. You wait until you hear about the advice cards idea.
