Greetings ladies,

I cannot begin to even express my absolute excitement knowing that by January (last week), I'm going to be married and a Mrs.!
I know some of you had seen my earlier story and so the last few weeks had been spent running about getting this wedding sorted and rolling. I write this to update you all, as well as kindly ask for any tips/advice as I've never really planned a wedding before?

We both want a small, quick wedding that is still intimate and special, with inner family - this is because we're both quite introverted and generally are more excited about married life than a wedding itself. Also, we're saving for a house and hoping for a baby soon. As long as it's in a church and has everyone we really care about, it's wonderful.

Some basics:

- Guests: We have 60 guests, mostly his family as he has more and 10 from mine

- Church: We're getting married in a Catholic Church as I am Catholic, and the liturgy and vows are all done!

- Invites: Everyone knows, invites had been done and soon to be given to guests, liturgy booklets coming

- Hair: Hair appointment has been set

- Rings: Rings bought already

​

Things I'm still chasing up:

- Dress shopping: Goodness I'm struggling to Google bridal shops that hire and not just buy!

- Makeup: My hair lady still needs to refer me to someone!

- Photographer/Videographer: She says she is free, but is taking ages to reply/confirm anything

- Lunch: No reception, just somewhere decent we can seat everyone for a meal after the ceremony, then we all go home

​

Thank you for any advice, I'm just simply happy to share this all with you - I'm so looking forward to becoming a loving, caring wife and to a family life together...
