Wedding Reading

I thought I'd share with you all the reading we've found for our wedding. Its a civil ceremony so it couldn't be religious at all but we found a lovely Apache Song which had been translated and seemed to say it all really.

Now you will feel no rain,
for each of you will be a shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no loneliness for you;
now there is no more loneliness.

Now you are two bodies,
but there is only one life before you.

Go now to your dwelling place,
to enter into your days together.

And may your days be good
and long on the earth.

Apache Song

22 days to go and counting!

27 days and counting

Well, May is finally here, a month that seemed as though it would never arrive. Which means that I'm now down to less than a month to the wedding. Which is good as I'm very excited and looking forward to it immensely... But panic is attempting to break the door down and take up residence.
I keep attempting to reassure myself that I've got it all in hand, but just as I sort one thing out, something else crops up that I need to do or organise. On a positive front the girls and I have dresses, the hubby to be has a suit, shirt and tie (although he could do with a new one), the wedding and reception venues are booked, mother in law to be has the cake in hand, the invites are out, shoes, handbags and hair accessories all bought and finally on Friday the flowers organised with the florist. I've sorted out bridal favours and place cards too.
So all in all, pretty much we could get married tomorrow and really its just the odds and ends to do. In fact, having listed it all down here I feel much better.... All we need now is for the Much Beloved to get a new job as his old contract finished on the 21st April and there's nothing happening on that front at the moment. (well, there is but its all waiting to hear about interviews or waiting for them to come round).... That and get his house sold so we can move once he's got a new job.
Oh well.... Onwards and upwards as they say.
