Two Months

According to the app on my phone there is exactly 2 months until the wedding. TWO MONTHS! EIGHT SATURDAYS!

I know you are all going to say don’t stress and all that but it is inevitable. The good news is that I work better under pressure and things are happening now – I don’t have a choice any more – I can’t spend weeks pinning millions of ideas, I actually have to start doing it all now.

David had his bachelor’s this weekend and mine was on Saturday. It was such a fun night :) Jeanette has some pictures up – I actually don’t really have any of me – I am hoping someone has some that look half ways decent!

I got super spoilt with lovely gifts – lingerie, bath products (including 2 huge bath sheets from my mom-in-law), glasses (Gordon Ramsay champagne glasses :) ) and gift vouchers.

Jeanette made a comment on her blog about how long we have known each other and I was actually thinking about this exact same thing yesterday and her and Natasha are 2 of my oldest friends. I am very glad that Jeanette decided to become a photographer and that I am able to have a friend, who has been there for so long, take photos for us on the day.

Did you have a bachelorette/kitchen tea? Was it a subdued affair or did you let your hair down?

That’s really all I have today. I am knee deep in trying to get RSVP’s from David’s friends – have you tried getting RSVP’s from guys? Single guys at that? What is the protocol with this though? If they don’t let me know by the date given do I assume they aren’t coming? Or keep asking?

To make up for the short post here is a photo of my beautiful child!

  1. aaaah the stresses of a wedding, makes me glad I never plan on tying the knot ;)
    good luck! as for those RSVP’s… HOUND THEM! you know what men are like.

  2. Exciting times!!! I hate it when people don’t RSVP and you have to follow up again, and again! Hope you get that sorted.

    My kitchen tea and wedding? Very forgettable. I was 18 and living in PE. My parents and siblings living in Cape Town. Let’s just say that my In-Law’s were very much in charge. If I could have it all over again. I would get married barefoot on the beach….with just those closest to us in attendance and then settle for a relaxed picnic.

  3. Sorry, the ones of you with your gifts were just too dark and didn’t come out… I did really need a flash in that room!
    I love that I’m doing your wedding photography :)

  4. It’s so cool to have such long term friends and so cool if one is a photographer. I am sure that one day some of my friends will say that too regarding me :)
    Looks like you all had a ball at your party.

  5. So exciting!! Really awesome that you have a great photographer as a friend to capture your day for you :)

    I had a very nice kitchen tea (although there were games & shooters also) with some drinks afterwards at a pub. It was good fun :)

    Enjoy the last bit of planning! X

  6. Didn’t have one, I was not in one place long enough at the time! Was in the process of moving countries and didn’t have friends in the new country and the few friends I had in the other country were all busy settling down in different countries as well. Complicated :-)

    Please stress, if that is what would help you finish everything you need to do. As long as it is the good kind of stress that spurs you to action.

    Can’t wait to see the pictures. I know if Jeanette is taking the pictures, it would be absolutely divine.

    People not responding to RSVP kind of doesn’t bother me, though I can imagine you need to know for planning purposes. Instead of waiting for them, why not call them and ask them to confirm right there and then over the phone on whether they are coming or not (or get David to get it out of them) because waiting might just mean never getting a response, but then they still show up at the wedding :-(

  7. I’m sending out birthday invitations for a 5th birthday this week. I’m trying something new. Instead of writing RSVP I’m writing out ‘Please let me know if you are joining us’. Thought maybe people don’t understand RSVP.

    My Dad always use to joke saying RSVP is a Jewish term that stands for (use your best Jewish accent) “Remember Send Vedding Present”
