Hang on for the bumpy ride!
With less than four weeks before our wedding, and given that it’s now the final week of term, and I still have my last assignment... barely written, my life may be a little hectic right now.
Now is the time when all the little holes in my wedding planning are starting to show through;
Two days ago, I realised that while I’m planning to assign tables at our lunch reception, I didn’t have any table numbers, escort cards, or anything to help guests find their seat.

| Our table platter samples |
We’ve sampled lovely table platters from caterers, which we were planning to serve to the centre of each table, (Which is called ‘Family style service’ elsewhere in the world), but yesterday, our venue church got back to me with the size of their tables - as I had worried, they aren’t wide enough to serve food to the middle of the tables. Yikes! We need more tables. Instead of working on my assignment yesterday, I went on a quest to solve the tables problem. (I did buy the audiobook of one of the text books I should have read before now, and listened to the first 2 hours of it while I was doing other things. Audiobooks are great, all textbooks should be available in audio format.) Anyway, putting 2 skinny church tables together will create a much better surface for serving food. Think we’ve got some we can borrow from another church - it’s all coming along.

Yikes! But this is also a very happy time, because the closer the time comes, the more excited I am! No matter what goes wrong with the reception plans, I get to marry my sweetheart in 24 days!
