So, it’s now officially less than three weeks until I’m a Mrs. I can’t believe how quickly this has come around – it honestly feels like I was only posting here to announce we’d made the decision to get married about a week ago, and now it’s happening. I don’t have any nerves or anxieties about the marriage itself – I’m more worried on how the day will turn out, if I’ll fall flat on my face, cry and make my makeup run, or if my hair will get all fucked up. I’m trying not to worry too much about things – whatever happens will happen for a reason – but being a control freak I can’t help myself sometimes.

Pretty much everything is organised – yesterday was the RSVP cut-off date, so I now just need to send out a message to everyone to let them know if they haven’t RSVPed, they need to do it within the next couple of days at the latest, since we need to confirm numbers for catering and such.

The ceremony has been finalised with our celebrant, so that’s complete. My bouquet I decided not to make, but ordered them from a local florist. They are silk roses – a pink bunch for myself and white posys for my bridesmaids (I thought pink against my white dress and white against their pink dresses would be cute). We’ve also got a photographer lined up, whom we just need to meet with and discuss what we’re after, since he also works away from here 4 weeks at a time (4 weeks on, 4 weeks off).

The only other thing I’ve kind of left until the last minute was my dress hoop and the invites to the Hen’s Night. I thought I might not need the hoop, but I have ordered one from eBay and asked they send it asap, seeing as it’s only 3 weeks away! Also, I’ve been debating as to whom to invite to the Hen’s Night – friends are a no-brainer, but in terms of family it can be hard. Anyway, I guess I’ll just invite everyone and see what happens

So it’s all fun and games in the Hyland-Baran household (soon to be just Baran – I’ve decided to take his name after months of being adamant I’d keep my own ) and I’ll keep you posted
