Finally we have had success and now have a wedding reception venue. The place we looked at yesterday was just right. We can use it early and leave it late and they agreed to some of our more quirky requests. Jolly good stuff all round. So the deal is done and the deposit is paid.

We had a very successful day, the first day we have dedicated to wedding type stuff and achieved lots. We now have a church, a reception, a colour scheme, wedding list stuff, suits for the boys, shoes for me and rings pretty much chosen.

We were quite chuffed with ourselves - until we realised how much there is still to do! The last four months have flown by as will the next and we will run out of time before you know it!

But still. The reception is booked and I can relax awhile.

Thank goodness.
