Picking up speed
Well, well, well, things are certainly picking up some speed again. There's only a few months to go and we're finally getting into a stage where all the details are starting to fall into place. Susanna and I have decided on a the colour scheme/theme and I've found a whole bunch of bargain decorations on eBay. eBay really is a life-saver when it comes to that kind of stuff. You can pretty much find anything that pops into your mind, and usually at a fraction of the price that it would be in a dedicated 'wedding' store. Actually, just today I received about four packages of different wedding-related stuff that I'd ordered. It's nice to have something concrete in your hands to plan with!
This week we also managed to pop into the register office and fill out the non-impediment and name change forms. I'm so not looking forward to the whole kerfuffle of changing my name in two different countries. Especially when I still have to be flying between the two countries while having different names in both. Fingers crossed it'll all work out without too much pain and hassle.
I'm starting to really look forward to the hen night now. There will be 12 of us girls altogether (thanks so much to those who are flying in from Finland, you've really blown me away!), so it should be a fun night. I was suppose to fill ya'll in on the details, but actually, I think I'll write about it after the fact, so I can include pictures and stuff.
I think I have gotten most of what I'm going to wear at the wedding together as well. Not completely casual, but definitely not formal either. From the start, my inspiration was Cameron's Ungaro gown at the Oscar's (in 2000 I think?). I remember when I saw that dress on the night and fell completely in love with it, I think I even entertained a vague thought of 'If I ever...' back then already. Unfortunately that sort of dresses really need to come with some sort of device attached, which would suck your body into Cameron sort of dimensions. Alas, my outfit only lends its inspiration from the gown, but is in fact, nothing like it. Since it's not even a gown and includes trousers. Erm. But yes, I'm quite happy with it in any case. It's comfortable and relaxed enough, and best of all, I don't really have to stress about losing weight or that sort of bobbins as it all fits me fine already. I'm still trying to decide wether to include a veil or not. It will most likely depend on the hairstyle I decide on.
Another piece of good news it that we did in fact book a little honeymoon. Four nights in Rome. I know it's hot like hell in July, but the hotel has air conditioning so... We're going a week from the friday of our wedding. To be honest, I can't wait! It's been ages since I've been to Rome and Stu has never been there. It's gonna be lovely.
