It's been a little while since I announced our engagement and it seems about time to do a little wedding check-in. Just a few of the details that have been going on behind the scenes.
If I'm totally honest, I think I may have accidentally become a bit of a 'bridezilla...' Not in the angry, shouty, spoilt way you hear about but mostly because I've sort of, accidentally, kind of got three pairs of wedding shoes...
I absolutely promise you this has not happened on purpose! Pair number one, I was given for free with my dress. They were 'ex-display' that I do love and are really comfortable, and my bridal shop lady very kindly threw them in for free when I bought my dress. These have always been my 'feet hurt and it's time to dance' back up shoes.
Pair number two, I bought in December to 'give them a try...' they were 90% bang on what I had wanted since the start, but there was one, fairly major thing about them that made me question if I could keep them.
Pair number three, I bought last week while ambling round the Oxford Street John Lewis waiting for the other half to find a toilet. And then I stumbled upon the pair, that I'd originally seen in LK Bennett full price... (and pretty much ran out of the shop crying) over half price... in my size... sitting there, looking at me.
So, I kinda bought those too.
Yep. Three pairs.
Of wedding shoes.
For one day.
So, now I've got a big decision to make about which of the two un-free pairs to return. And I can't decide. I also can't show you, because y'know, it's a surprise.
And now I just don't know. I kinda need to try them both on with the dress, but that's not going to be in until March. And I'm not really sure why this has become such a big deal to me... my first dose of wedding stress and I want to curl up under the duvet... wearing all three pairs!
But, in other news, we're all booked with the Church, the venue, the photographer, the DJ, and I've already got my dress, my veil and my, erm, shoes.
*ahem*
The cake is sorted now, I've pretty much got a hairdresser and I've just heard the good news that my lovely beautician can make it too.
So, still full steam ahead, I've just decided how I want the invitations to look and I've found a florist and a car company that I am going to phone to arrange an appointment. It's nice to feel like we're getting there, after a long break from the plans over Christmas.
Ooh, and I've of course got far too excited about the little details, 'cause that's more fun than cars!
Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend and I'll see you back here soon... With my resolutions... Because I got halfway through writing them up and then forgot some of them...
Is it best if we put focus back to the three pairs of shoes?
