A week to go. At exactly 2pm I just happened to be driving past the church, which was really exciting. Well, I've finished work and have just made my final to-do list. It now fits on one page and has everything allocated to a day and person. The more complicated bit seems to be working out who is where at what time, and who is staying at our flat. I think we have different people each night. I might try and make it like a sleepover in the lounge to save on changing the beds!
As previously mentioned, I was asked by my best friend to be her bridesmaid and I've been away in Scotland for the wedding this weekend. It was such a lovely day; the bride looked beautiful, the ceremony had everyone choked up and the weather stayed sunny and dry. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and there weren't any major disasters (our vintage car wouldn't start to get us to the reception, but no worries, we made it). It was great to have everyone from university back together again for the first time in 5 years too. It was also a very educational experience, but I'll do more on that at some point. Overall, our planning has actually taken 2 steps back with the only things we thought we had organised now undone (the music we wanted was used at this one so we would look like we were copying, and they had the photographer we were planning to use who, it turns out, can't do our date).
Having been brought up in the bus industry (courtesy of my dad), it is only fitting that there should be a bus on the big day. I'd love a picture of me hanging off the back platform of a Routemaster! I searched around for pictures of others doing the same but didn't manage to find any. Alternatives are also buses, including the very special 'Knightrider', which would be a link to my home town (the only one I think - I do not have much love for Maidstone!). It is a little 16 seater and cannot really get up much speed, I don't even know if it is still able to run, but it is luxurious and would be lovely for the bridal party and parents to travel in. We need to have some kind of transport as there is no parking, and we will encourage local people to come by public transport. Images wikipedia , busfleets
