The Wedding

Planning for a wedding is extremely hard and stressful but, rather enjoyable. My partner and I have figured that out in the last few months, with our wedding coming up in October. We decided in the beginning that we would try and cut costs but still get the wedding we want, so we have decided to do most things ourselves or get others to help us.

For example, we have made the invitations ourselves, and decided do have the wedding,reception and photos all in the same place, we are doing the deceleration ourselves with the help of my partners father, catering is being sorted by my mother and my father is helping with me getting to the church and walking me down the aisle and I am making the cake, and with everything else we getting help from friends, family and our local church.

To us a wedding isn't just a day but it is a start of a brilliant future with the person I love. I am very privileged to be marring the person I love.

Say YES to the Dress!!!

It it usually a once in a lifetime experience to be able to choose a wedding dress with some close friends and ones mother, but it is a privilege i have had this morning. To Cherish, a bridal shop across the road from Barrinton Mall in Christchurch, had the warmth and the knowledge to help me choose a dress that i would absolutely love.

When I arrived with my mother and friends, I was welcomed with a friendly and warm welcome, then we were taken to a private room for use to use and given the round rules for the day. We were made very comfortable, relaxed and happy and choose out four dresses.

Four dresses was a good start and I tried the first dress on, a strapless dress which i found i did not like, especially with being bigger busted and a bit chubbier it did not suit me at all. Strapless was defiantly out!!!

However in what i would consider a strange thing i tried the second dress on and it was perfect, i wasn't expecting to find a dress i loved and wanted that quickly, best of all within budget!!! so i said yes to the dress. So i paid the first half of the amount, with a fitting in September, so alterations can be made in time for the wedding the big revel will soon be here.....
