You guessed it - wedding related stuff - and Christmas
Very sad news here in the Kiwiland today - Sir Ed Hillary died this morning.
My veil arrived from the US on Monday. I'm very pleased with it. It's still just a nice warm white rather than more of a pink (which I was a bit worried about) and is also longer than I expected, and since I didn't buy the cathedral length because it was too expensive - that's all to the good! And before you ask - of course I've tried it on.
I've trimmed and stapled my Orders of Service and (in tribute to Sir Ed) I hope to "knock them off" over the weekend. This involves punching holes and threading ribbon. They're still gorgeous - I'm really pleased with them.
Guest numbers are finalised. Seating plans are planned. Need to do physical seating plans and place cards. For this I need to buy paper - hopefully this weekend.
Have half Ben's wedding present (cufflinks), and have ordered the second half (aftershave).
I bought a few things I'll need like Bach's Rescue Remedy and face blotting papers and headache tablets.
Have arranged my hair trial and a final meeting with the photographer.
I've got my first dress fitting on Monday which I'm very excited about! I bought some lining while in Auckland and dropped it off to my dressmaker over New Year.
Christmas was good. We spent just over a week in Auckland with Ben's parents. I read a lot and eat too may bad things and generally relaxed. We went to a few beaches and in the main had nice weather. Ben's parents took us to the Coromandel and we went to Hot Water Beach which was very pretty.
New Year was much the same - reading, eating, beaches. Lots of alcohol and chocolate.
