Thank you Julie, you’re right about enjoying it, as time creeps closer to the big day I am feeling much stronger and positive and ready for a good old knees up! x

I would like to echo what Kim your photographer says, your day is for enjoying. If you find you do need to handover a month of so before the wedding to take the strain and have someone help on the day, contact me. I loved your post its very touching.

Thankyou sweetie. Really appreciate the reply
Planning going well, touch wood. we were let down by our first venue in early December, but i’m so glad it happened now because it led us to find our new venue Samlesbury Hall, which is utterly beautiful and ridiculously perfect for our Christmas wedding on the 21st of December this year.
Hope your full circle has led you to yours petal.

Hi Jen
I hope that the way I work as your photographer on your wedding day, I can help you to worry about one less thing – I tell all my brides-to-be that your wedding day is for enjoying, not stressing over.

And don’t forget, you have Brian the van to look forward to!

Stripeycat Anne, taking it as it comes is the best way to cope. Stay strong dear, the heart ache never goes away you just learn to carry the weight and adjust…..Wine always helps I find ) x How are your plans all going?

I just wanted to write and say how much I understand and empathise, i’ve lost both of my beloved parents, most recently my darling Mum to cancer. I find it so hard at times planning things that revolve so naturally around the mother and father of the bride and it makes my heart ache every time they’re mentioned as a matter of course….seating at the top table, speeches, even their buttonhole/corsages…..my big brother is also going to be the one who walks me down the aisle, and we’ve got a really tight bunch of friends who have stepped into other roles…..most importantly, we’re doing things our way; and I, well i’m taking it as it comes, and to echo your words, i’m marrying my best friend, and that, is the best thing in the world.

What you say is so very true. I have been getting so stressed out and having too many people telling me how I should have my wedding day I have never been a Bridezilla and I am certainly not asking for an all singing all dancing very expensive wedding so when H2B and myself are told what we should be having it makes me very annoyed. I am lucky that I have the support of my parents who have been amazing. Very lovely piece xxx
