Who would have thought...
I know at times I can come across as a bit floopy (?? is that a word??) but it takes a month of Ramadan, where we aren't allowed to go clubbing and suddenly drinking is well, not as much fun. Work is much quieter, and I have long, loooooong hot empty, sweaty days to fill.
Everything seems to be plodding along rather smoothly, we're into month 4 already (how did that happen??) of our engagement and everything seems to be set. Venue, done. Accommodation, done. Save the Dates, Website, Colours, Guests, Food, Dress, songs, honeymoon...done, done done! And now I have 6 months 2 kill... and find a way to occupy my time without thinking about weddings 24/7:) Fantastic!
I’m all joyed up to the brim... I'm so excited I really wish it was next month! Since we are saying our vows in Thailand, there seems to be many people who are sadly unable to make it... This was inevitable, we knew this when we decided on our exotic location, but it was what we both wanted, so the sacrifice was worth it. We really did want a small wedding and 30 guests for me sounds a lot sweeter than 100 guests. I like the idea thats its a casual affair, and that I can have a good time with my closest friends and family, but there are people who aren't able to make it, that we really wish were there! Very close friends and family who, whether for financial, work, or personal reasons aren't able to come!!
Since many of these people are family we have decided to have a small party in South africa, with immediate family for a meet and greet. This way those who are unable to come can, in some small way, celebrate with us! We are also doing ou civil ceremony on this day, no vows, nothing special, just a few legal paper signings. We dont want it to be a big deal, we wont be saying any vows, we'll just sign, and have a party (probably get a little drunk) and then 3 weeks later say our vows and begin our lives as Husband and wife. We just need to figure out one small little detail, which I am not so certain it will be easy to resolve without offending some. How do you legally get married, without having all our family there... especially family who wont be there for the wedding??
In the mean time, while I fret about whether my nan will be upset if she misses me signing some paperwork, I'll pre-occupy myself with cute and happy things like shoes, and invites and hopefully these other things will sort themselves out!
