Life Lately - July

So it has been a while since my last post, over a month now! Sorry! But as you know, I got married on Friday 27th June to my soul mate & best friend *cheese fest anyone?*

Life has been crazy busy in the few weeks leading up to our big day, then we were away on honeymoon which I will cover in a separate post.

I'd blogged about the anxiety I was feeling a month or so before the wedding and how no one really tells you that you may feel like that, but it is totally normal! You're planning the biggest day of your entire lives, it isn't all going to be plain sailing. However, let me say, every minute of stress, worry & nerves was so worth it, I cannot even put in to words how wonderful our day was. Everything ran smoothly, we had beautiful weather and had all of our best friends & family around us to celebrate.

I will do a full post with all details soon, but here is one of my favourite pictures taken by a friend outside our beautiful local church after the ceremony!

Wedding: The Fear



Minster Abbey Church where we get married on 27th June!

Ok, so I keep having some seriously scary dreams about my wedding! 

It is less than a month away now and I'm hitting panic mode - what haven't we done? Have we made the right music choices? Picked the right readings for the church?
I've made lists in every notebook I own, then more lists for the lists - there are a lot of lists!

Last nights dream was about the abismal weather we've seen over the past few days - it was raining so hard that the venues cancelled our wedding and couldn't rebook us as they were full! Terrifying!
Previous dreams include me being late, the Boy also being late, hating how I look etc etc. It goes on and on. I have been told this is completely normal from past & future brides, yet I can't get rid of this knot in my tummy. What if people think I look silly? Don't like my dress? There a thousand and one thoughts swimming around my little head...

It is so easy to get swept away in what chairs you want at the reception venue, if the napkins are the correct shade of white, am I using the right foundation for the photos?
However, I am trying to remember that what this is really all about is: us committing to each other with all of our family & friends beside us, a day just about us and love and happiness.

I love this quote - it is exactly all the things I think a marriage should mean.
Besides all the little worries I am having right now, I am honestly really excited too...
