ARGH!

I couldn't let the year finish up without a single post for December! So I'm just managing to scrape in on the very last day of the year...

Everything has been very quiet with regards to both wedding and fertility matters, but this week I've finally got my arse into gear and shopped for invitation supplies, as well as done some online research into shoes for my junior bridesmaids, whom I hope to take shopping next week while I'm still on leave from work.

Anyway, my main reason for posting today is to upload a pic of an invitation mock-up that I've just done. I don't have a guillotine or anything so this has just been done with scissors, but you get the idea.





Sorry for the extreme censoring, but you can't be too careful. Wouldn't want some randoms from the internet crashing my wedding!

Aside from this development, nothing new to report, except that the bridesmaids dresses (the new and improved second lot) have recently arrived and are actually the correct colour.. fancy that. Plus I have bought jewellery for the bridal party -- it's pretty cheap-o stuff, so I really hope that the necklaces don't leave a green line around everyone's neck, or cause any allergic reactions, or we're screwed. Mum bought me my jewellery this week; it's a combined wedding and birthday present. Swarovski Crystal and white gold plated teardrop earrings with a matching pendant on a chain (which I had to order, but I've got the earrings at least). I'm not sure if I'll end up wearing the necklace, I will be trying it with and without on the day and seeing what looks better. So hard to tell when you don't have your dress and veil on!

(I tried to post pics of all the jewellery, but it was taking way too long, so maybe another time if I remember.)

At exactly three and a half months to go today, everything is starting to seem so real now. I printed up all the invitations this afternoon, and once me and my BM have made them next week, I can send them out and it's all systems go. Woo! Looking forward to (in around eight hours) being able to say, "I'm getting married this year!" Not to mention hopefully getting pregnant, but I won't get too far ahead of myself. ;)

See you in 2012.
