I think I'm in love with my wedding co-ordinator...

She is amazing.

Check out her blog Vera & Rose.

Brutal Honesty...

So like probably 90% of other brides to be out there I need to lose weight before I get married. I am not posting this so that everyone will tell me I don't. The honest truth is I do!

My darling mother calls my fiancé a "fat feeder" and unfortunately this is so true. I was much, much lighter before I got this happy!

I have started taking daily walks with my big sister who has lost a ridiculous amount of weight recently and if I'm not careful will look much, much better than me on my wedding day.

I have decided in an effort to keep myself motivated, to give you weekly updates on my weight loss and this is the first.

To be in my healthy weight range I need to loose about 1.5kg a week between now and February. I have no idea if I can stay that motivated but we shall see how I go. To be honest I’ll just be happy if I can even get close to that.

Wish me luck!

Friday, Friday, Friday!!!!

This is how I will feel once 5pm finally hits this afternoon.

I have been nathaniel-less all week and he will be home finally at 10.30pm tonight and I can't wait!

I think I've found my hair style....

When I cam across these images at SMP this morning I just about fell off my chair (note to self don't read wedding blogs while on wheely chair).  I'm so in love with everything about this wedding - you really should check it out.

More than anything though I love, love, love her hair!  She looks like she could have as much hair as I do and I want that hairstyle.  Just trying to decide if it goes with my dress.

Did I tell you I found my dress?  Well dress pattern anyway.  My very dear and lovely mumsy is making me a trial run (so I can make sure it suites) and if it does - ta da - wedding dress.  I'm a little bit excited.

I am becoming slightly obsessed with floral arrangements. While these are not what I will use for mine I just though they were a fabulous idea.

We Have A Winner

I believe dear friends that we have found our wedding venue.

Here are some photos taken by my wedding co-ordinator yesterday.

It's a vineyard and olive grove called Bunnyconnellen and it sounds delightful.
