1 Month Until The Big Day!!

It's one month until the big day! It has come around so fast! 

Since the last post I have tried on my wedding dress and WOW! Anita has done an amazing job and I can't wait to wear it!  I pick it up on the 29th!

I've booked my hair and makeup trials and I have bought something to wear in my hair.  It's been so long since I had my hair styled, and I've never actually had my makeup done (I've always done it myself before a formal event) so I am looking forward to being pampered a little. Also have my nail appointment booked a couple of days before the wedding to get gels done. I'm having so much trouble with my own nails at the moment - they keep splitting or just breaking off - so I know if I don't do something before the wedding I'll have horrible chipped and uneven nails in my wedding photos... especially the ones with the wedding and engagement rings!!

We have also met again with the celebrant (the lovely Nicola Todd) and given her our order of ceremony and discussed logistics.  We still need to have the rehearsal - Dave is in charge of organising that!

Tomorrow we meet with the reception venue to discuss the menu, the different wines, champagne, the arrangement of the tables in the room, etc.

On the craft front... I've finished the magnets! YAY! Actually, I've pretty much finished all craft-related things. I just need to make a small bouquet for the flower girl, finish the boutineers for Dave, Rob and Dad, make name tags for the guests, work out how I am going to do the table numbers, sort out the seating plan and design the menus for the reception.  I'm on the home stretch!!  Not sure what I am going to do after the wedding when I have all this free time on my hands...

Question... if you went to a wedding, what is a song you would LOVE to hear played at the reception? There are so many to choose from and as Dave and I are doing the iPod and PA System setup to save $$ we need to start purchasing some tunes from itunes sooner rather than later. So, all suggestions welcome!! And no, not the chicken dance!! :P  You can either post to facebook or leave a comment here.
