... argh!!!!! ...
hello hello i know i haven't blogged in time but stuff and nonsense and meh! so.. first up, for those of you who've been living in a box on the dark side of the moon under a mahoosive rock.. I'm engaged!! yup me, miss anti commitment herself.. so there.. Andy proposed to me in April and it's been GO GO GO! since then.. I'm so excited..however, since we got engaged i've barely slept a wink.. the first few dys were spent dazzled while gazing at my beautiful ring.. he picked it himself.. ooh ahh it's lurrvly
then i sat up realising just how HUGE a task organising a wedding was.. then i had to plan an party to celebrate the engagement.. then came the budgeting.. eeeeeek
the fantabulous toni and debbie sorted us out witht the funtion room at the brindley for the bash and chrissy and jay sang.. it was fab.. we broke out the chocolate fountain hairybod got me, with hilarious results, and andy's dad (ahem) was found with a straw in it at one point! this was my superb prezzie off of the girlies:
since then it's been running smoothly.. we've been so blessed with prsents, help, and people offering to pitch in.. we have seen over the past few months just how loved we are, it's amazing!
I've already decided that I'm not in the persuit of a perfect wedding, cause i don't think it exists and i can't understand why anyone would want to put themselves through that much stress searching for it! So here i am all determined not to be some neurotic bride from hell, and inspite of the new cocktail of hormones i'm being given by the hospital i'm pretty pleased to say that i've done quite well.. that's not to say there haven't been blips.. however, this has come at a price, my subconscious is stepping in when my will power has no control..that's right, during my sleep.. so for your amusement i've decided to document:

NIGHTMARES OF A STRUNG OUT BRIDE
#1 i turn up at this gorgeous venue, loads of friends and people turn up and start milling around.. next thing i know someone is wearing my wedding dress and i'm being ushered to sit down and shush.. i begin to protest to no avail and have to sit and watch someone else have my wedding right put from under me!
#2 the morning of my wedding, i'm sooooo excited, i even felt that mad rollercoaster rush in my stomach ans i say to elly "it's my wedding day!!" to which she smiles and replies "yeah, I've got to admit I'm not as excited as i hoped i'd be.. i thought i'd feel different" way to knock the wind out of me!
#3 we decide to bring the wedding forward 6 months so we can have it on a bank holiday, it's a mad rush, frantically trying to get to the church, drive past al who's going in the wrong direction and has decided he'd prefer to go skating instead of to the wedding.. get to the church and there is an entire bridal party already outside.. i panic, have we got the wrong day.. but phew, no they're queuing for the church next door.. i race into our church and start trying to get ready but it just isn't going right..eventually the minister is yelling for me to come down the aisle, so i wind up skidding down the tiles with no shoes on and my feet all knotted in the netting in my dress! i arrive on the wrong side of the groom but have no time to rectify it.. then we get to the who gives this woman bit.. and my dad refuses to answer!
#4 we decide to have the wedding reception a few weeks before the wedding cause we figure we wont fit it all in one day, but we turn up two hours late and are in a hurry, my dress wont fit and i'm trying not to be spotted by andy cause i don't want him to see me in the dress till the wedding!
#5 turn up to the church not ready, but there is a christening going on which buys us some time, so we go to toni's to get ready, but when we get there the door is locked, she has no key and debbie has gone on holiday for two weeks, and the bridesmaids dresses have turned orange!
#6 having photos done for wedding, take so long realise ceremony has happened without me! so go straight to the reception, which hasn't been booked properly cause no one rsvp'd so we are all just sitting rond pub tables and the meals (fray bentos pie filling looking things) come out in dribs and drabs
#7 the church service takes three hours cause andy won't stop playing on the church x box
.. so there you have it.. no matter how much you try to keep a lid on it, grizzly bride finally rears it's ugly head one way or another..
HOWEVER.. it's catching.. andy has now tarted having nightmares.. his have included, the venue catching fire, the bride no being me and a guest hanging themselves!

Hello Cathy
I told you we would have a good laugh about it. They are funnier to read than you telling me. Hope it was Katharitic for you. Or should that be Cath Artic. HEHEHE
Have a good one and congratulations again.
