To do.

Did I mention we're getting married in 30 days? Aaaaaah! So much left to do:

1. Write the ceremony (this is the big one).
2. Organise hay bales for guests to sit on during ceremony, and generally lounge on (kind of like some of the ones here).
3. Find Arthur some trousers to wear (!).
4. Find Arthur some shoes to wear.
5. Find and buy beer.
6. Find and buy soft drinks.
7. Collect deposits from people for our Friday night meal, the day before the wedding (everyone is paying for their own meal but we have to pay the restaurant a £10 per head deposit one week before).
8. Make A LOT of paper garlands, like the ones I liked here. (more to come about these)
9. Find 30ish more cups and saucers for coffee and 50ish more dinner plates (we're buying very cheap retro crockery for the wedding meal, again more to come on this!)
10. Make music playlists for: before the ceremony, during the meal, before the band plays, in the band's break and after the band plays.
11. Find out where (near Lyme Regis) we can pick our own berries for pudding at the wedding meal.
12. Pull together some props for our home made photo booth (yay!).
13. Make signs, e.g. listing the menu, directing people to toilets/ photo booth/ cold drinks etc.
14. Write our programme including whats happening during the ceremony and general info about the day.
15. Buy paper for the programmes.
16. Print the programmes.
17. Work out where we can get locally grown flowers from near Lyme Regis.
18. Make a seating plan.
19. Draw/ print up a large seating plan for the day.
20. Write out the name place cards (we're using luggage tags).
21. Figure out who needs picking up from the train station and when, and who's going to do this
22. Taste and buy some local Bath cheeses for the cheese board (we're having our main meal at 4.30pm, so we're having cheese later on in case people get hungry)
    

Okay, maybe that's not too bad. These are just the things we have to do; our families have been amazing and volunteered to take over all sorts of bits and pieces. My sister is making us a postbox for our guestbook type setup (more to come!), Arthur's dad is sorting out wine for us, my dad is figuring out a photo booth set-up, my mum is making bridesmaid dresses, and buying all sorts of bit and pieces we need, Arthur's mum is growing us lots of herbs to put on the tables etc etc. Amazing.

This is, however, only the things we need to do before we actually go down 'to site' the Monday before the wedding, the 'Things to do once we get there' list hasn't even been written yet... So it still feels like there's plenty to do (plus I'm in the middle of the minor task of sitting my uni finals...).

Best get on with it!
