So near

March 14, 2011

It is a matter of days now until the wedding and I can’t believe that it is almost here. I can’t believe that Gareth and I actually, after nine years of being together and six years of engagement are actually going to be married. That I am going to be a bride, it seems such a strange thing and yet so absolutely meant to be all at the same time.

M arrives tomorrow, I have two more days of work and everything is pretty much done. My last post talked about not going overboard and not getting stressed and well, that so didn’t happen! There were a few weeks that I worried I’d taken on too much, times that I worried it wouldn’t all come together, times were I felt so utterly alone in organising it all. But, people came to the rescue, people helped and in the end it has all been worth while.

My spare room has finished it’s incarnation as wedding craft room! It is nearly tidy ready for family to arrive and I had my final fitting of my dress on Saturday. I stood in front of the mirror and it finally seemed real, it stopped being this strange ethereal someday and became now and the last few days have been lovely. I’m enjoying the anticipation now and I can’t wait for Saturday!

    Enjoy every minute of this week. I remember the last week build up before our Wedding so well. Two years ago now! So exciting. I remember loving the evening before inparticular. Wishing you the most wonderful of days on Saturday. Enjoy every single second of it. Try to grab at least a few minutes just the two of you on the day away from the whirlwind wonderful madness of it all just to take it all in. Wishing you and Gareth many happy years ahead. Fiona x
