Getting married

We are getting married this long weekend.
More than anything I am feeling so tired!
My emotions are all over the shop lol.

The rehearsal went well!

Interstate guests are starting to arrive!

We're currently going over of speeches and vows.

Better go! People to get from the airport!

I wrote this like three days ago

This wedding thing can really get you down sometimes. I cannot wait to marry Ri, but I can’t seem to stay excited because there is always something going on. Small things, but as they pile up its draining.
The hair dresser needs a $25 travelling fee.
It was my last day at work today and I am going to miss my workmates like crazy, and seeing as I was only casual I don’t have a job to return to.
The cars can’t seat the flower girls.
The chapel won’t take responsibility for playing the music – so we need to ask a guest.
Someone told a friend of mine that I was seating her with her ex. (I wasn’t).
The Chapel is costing about $200 more than we thought, because the price didn’t include gst.
The Reception is costing, er, a bit more than we thought because somehow we jumped from 90 guests to 113 (we’re VERY happy that so many people are willing to share this day with us, but yikes).
The suit hire place had our wedding down as next weekend, so when all 5 boys and I went in last night, we waited for ages. The staff treated me like I was an idiot. And the boys have to go back tonight before the rehearsal.
We paid for all 114 guests, only to find out that someone who rsvp’d yes, changed to a no, and their partner’s sister emailed a friend instead of telling us. By the time the message reached us, it was too late. At this point I can’t see myself looking the partner who is coming in the eyes.

I feel like we’ve lost our way a little bit. It’s only one day, but it means so much to us. And it’s suppose to be about us and our choice to get married.

The rehearsal is tonight. I’m hoping that it’ll mark a changing point in how I’m feeling. I’m sure tomorrows high will match today’s low.

Next Week...

...it will all be over!
...we will be married!
...and we will be off on our honeymoon.

Everything is coming together. We actually have finished most of the name cards and favours and just need to tweak the seating plan.

The dresses are waiting upstairs.

All providers except the chapel and reception venue are paid in full.

Ri has 3 days left of work.

I have 6 days left of work.

This day, our day, is finally almost here. Not this weekend but the next, so, next week.

Celeb wedding 10: J is for Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones, maybe I'll regret not using this one as Z.

Zeta-Jones is married to actor Michael Douglas, sharing the same birthday, making him exactly 25 years her senior. She claims that when they met, he used the line "I'd like to father your children." They were married at the Plaza Hotel in New York City on 18 November 2000. A traditional Welsh choir (Côr Cymraeg Rehoboth) sang at their wedding. Her Welsh gold wedding ring includes a Celtic motif and was purchased in the Welsh town of Aberystwyth.

Celeb wedding 9: I is for Ivana Trump

It took me AGES to find an "I" celeb, and in the end I found this "cougar", who seems to have given all the guests flowers and named them Bridesmaids.




Ivana Trump, 59, gets hitched for fourth time in £1m bash with 25 bridesmaids (no wonder the groom arrived to the Rocky theme tune)

because I'm leaving on a jetplane...

Mum and I packed today, which I'm sure will thrill Ri. I can already hear the complaints about packing the wrong shorts or to early. One of the two.

I look at the bags and like a said to a friend of mine today (a newly wed, who understands whats going on right now, having been through it 6 months ago) anyway I look at the bag and realise I'm not going to see a lot of people I love very much for 6 whole months (and two days). And it hurts!
I am going to miss so many people, and what a time to do it, it's like the wedding has brought me closer to (some of) my friends and then I leave? Plus I adore the people at work and it makes me sad to think that I may have had a chance to work there if it weren't for our trip.

But then I think, its the world. He is giving me the world. Who wouldn't take that?

I'm missing some people already.
