Wedding Wednesday - Engagement Session & t-minus 1month!

I've been sitting on these beauties for a while now waiting for the right moment to post them & what better reason than now the countdown has really begun. Adam & I will become husband & wife one month today! Eep!
We had our Engagement Session with the rather wonderful Chris Barber (see his website HERE) who'll also be photographing our wedding. We've been drooling over his work ever since we booked him, he has a real flare for capturing the moment in his own special way & after seeing all these wonderful couples on there all of a sudden it was our turn. We met up a month or two ago in Brum for our shoot & these were all taken in the Custard Factory (I could spend days there without getting bored!). We were so excited to see how our pics had come out & wow we weren't disappointed! These are only the start of a great set which I'll be sharing with you all every Wedding Wednesday up until the week of the big day. Bet you can't wait?!
This last weekend was spent up at ma&pa's. It was hectic but in a good way & we got so much done resulting in many ticks on my 12page spreadsheet (I know right!). There was only one hiccup, I'm not going into details, it could have been mega, but crisis was averted thanks to my fab parents & now everything should be a.ok. I always thought I'd be alright & after a little wobble would just brush off things that don't go to plan, (if any of you know me who am I kidding?!), I wasn't exactly throwing tantrums on the floor & screaming & shouting but I wasn't cool as a cucumber either! I think it just threw me a little bit that this thing I've been planning for over a year & a half will have it's ups & downs that aren't always in my control but I feel ready now to carry on enjoying the planning process. I think it was a bit of a shocker too that our weekend at ma&pa's was the last one there until we travel up for the actual wedding. Er hello time, can you slow down just a teeny bit?! Cheers!
Anyways all in all we're almost ready & raring to go. 31 days. Bring. It. On!

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
