50 more sleeps by Jo

So there's only 50 more sleeps until we get married. Wedding planning is very, very hectic which is why we don't have time for the blog anymore. But thank you to our faithful followers (like Dave and pregnant Sherrin) and for the comments.

We still don't have wedding bands. I think Clive's ring finger may need a joint supplement to help it recover!

But we do have loads of other things. Like Clive has found his suit and if the pics are anything to go by, I may wear a t-shirt over my wedding dress that says HE'S WITH ME. Mmmm... the great thing is that he already is with me ... YAY!!!

We've paid the deposit to hire the crockery, cutlery, table cloths etc. The invites have gone out. The bridesmaids have their colour swatches and are hopefully feeling inspired to find their dresses. I have my wedding shoes. My dad is making candalabras for the big day ... around 20 of them. So much is happening but it's really wonderful to be doing this with such amazing family and friends whose love, support, encouragement, generosity and concern has just carried us. We are truly, truly blessed.

Father God really continues to surprise and remind us that He is in intimately involved in every detail of our lives. Which makes me realise that I am a control freak!

Thank goodness His mercies are new every morning and His grace abounds.

It's a beautiful day indeed.

  1. You guys musn't think you are the only one's having to stress about the wedding! The mother of the groom has finally got her outfit and I also succumbed and bought a new suit. (I hope pink doesn't clash with anything) I was thinking of participating in the Cancer Shavathon but that might just spoil the wedding party photo a little. On the other hand, one of the party is "kaalkop" anyway?

  2. A pink suit and a bald head. Hmmm. Sounds like Kojak or Right Said Fred - remember them? They were a weird 80s band and they sang "Deeply Dippy" and "I'm too eny for my shirt"... uh oh, I feel a song coming on ...
