Yay, more Feb brides! I am 12th Feb, any twins out there?
Wandereruk, I live in Australia too but decided against having a UK wedding in the end as it just seemed too hard with my job and limited time. Where abouts are you and where have you been all this time, wish I'd known there was another Aussie-based bride on here and February 2011 no less!!
MrsBarrowman2be, I think I'm the most unorganised Feb bride so don't worry as you're way ahead of me! I am a doctor and it has just been so hard to find time to do everything and it takes me forever to make a considered decisions/make appointments/research suppliers etc.
Can you believe I have only booked my band and videographer today, with less than 6 weeks to go!? Its actually not that bad, as you get fantastic discounts for last-minute bookings, over $1000 (about £650 - wedding is in Sydney) off the videographer and over $700 (about £400) off the band and they are both fantastic. I have millions of other things to do as well but luckily am only working day shifts for the next 6 weeks so should make life a bit easier...here goes:
- Have pre-wedding photo shoot (booked for 14th Jan)
- Have tasting and choose food at reception venue (booked for 28th Jan)
- Finalise music choices for ceremony and reception (nearly there!)
- Chase last few outstanding RSVPs (nearly there!)
- Finalise ceremony wording (nearly there!)
- Produce Order of Service (in draft, just needs printing)
- Final meeting with celebrant (need to book ASAP)
- H2B organising honeymoon activity gift list (bit of an after-thought, didn't originally want one)
- Get flat shoes for evening and underwear (know what I want, just need to actually get to the shops to buy!)
- Finalise centrepieces (this is the major stress at the mo! Planned to make my own, but may give in to the florist!)
- Buy gifts for BMs and my best friend who has helped me soooo much in a unofficial capacity
So scary seeing it all written down...I think I can tick off a lot in the next fortnight though. Good luck everyone! xxx
