I finish work today. Today! Cripes! Have just been treated to flowers and cakes from the work girls all to the wedding march tune! Bless them – a lovely surprise. I actually drove the camper van into work today to get over any jitters I have about driving it round. It all went fabulously well and is now parked right at the entrance of work on display to all!
Aside from the camper-tastic-ness, somehow the wedding is now only four sleeps away and it seems unbelievable that it’s crept up on us so soon! We’ve leapt from three months to less than a week and time has absolutely flown. Admittedly I’ve been focused on my bridal bootcamp regime a fair bit and painting Trevor like it’s going out of fashion, and life has been manic to say the least, so the wedding has kinda crept up on me…
Anyhoo, to add to general realisation that the Big Day is not far off, there we were in church Sunday and our names were in the newsletter as a forthcoming wedding – in black and white, there it was! Added to that, our lovely priest singled us out at the end of Mass highlighting our forthcoming nuptials – cue lots of well-wishers shaking hands, offering good luck and some dishing out advice. The priest reckons we look chilled out, which we probably do in all fairness (it was 0830 and my worry genes hadn’t woken up by then).
Having said we look chilled out though and with The Boy usually in a state of placidness as far as stress goes, this morning Boy revealed he’d had his first wedding related dream. His first, a week beforehand! (I’m shocked as I’ve been dreaming about it for years. literally.) Anyway. The dream wasn’t great and basically everything was running late. Now, this gives me an indication that under The Boy’s calm exterior is a shot of panic somewhere. Compare this to my dreams (for about 18months) of tripping over shoes, dress being ruined by peanut butter bagel on the morning, Boy being drunk, guests stuck in mudfield at reception, PA system not working, camper van being nicked, Priest ill on the day etc etc. You get the idea. But this is all in my head and I’m telling myself to relax, be calm and enjoy the day on Saturday. It’ll only happen once and whatever happens, it’s going to be ACE!
Have a super-tastic day dude, really sorry I can’t join you for the evening do but I’ll be there in spirit. Yay for Kath-a-Bean! Here comes the bride, here comes the bride…. :0)
