We saw the carriage. I patted the horses and fed them carrots. We played with their 2 German Shepard dogs and spoke of the wedding. It was a sweltering day and I kept thinking "I really hope it is cooler then this in November", lol!
I saw a florist and got rough figures on what the flowers will cost. It turns out the roses I want are (wait for it....) THE most expensive rose you can buy.
Sigh...
Oh well...we'll see if my preference changes closer to the day.
We went and spoke to the Stamford Hotel about getting wedding guests a room discount, organizing a room for the girls and I to get ready in and possible a room for Ben and I after the wedding (as its close to the venue and we figured we'll be pretty darn tired). Again we got rough prices and will speak to them again mid-year.
We went and saw Curzon Hall were I fired about 15 questions at our event manager. I got all the answers I needed. My only grief with them is that their is a another wedding directly after ours. I was a bit peeved as we didn't really care which day we had it in November but Ben and Jo (the manager) locked in this one without really checking what else was on the same day.
I guess that is what happens when I leave it to be sorted out by the boys, ha, ha.
Of course like all good event managers Jo can offer 50 reasons on why that is not a problem but it does worry me because we won't have full use of the grounds with the photographer. Another wedding will be in half of the grounds. Not much I can do about it other then have my little vent.
We found the wedding cars we would like to use too. I think we'll wait till after our holiday next week before we track them down.
All in all - the meeting with Jo was good cause I'm not allot more clear of what I do/do not have to worry over for the reception. Of course in a few months I'm sure I'll forget most of what we spoke about, ha, ha.
We had Ben's parents drop in with Belle last night. I was so so tired and had planned to be asleep by 8pm but we were still chatting to them at 9pm. There were tears as Belle wanted to stay with us but we just said she'll see us next weekend for our trip north.
So very tired today but also reassured knowing next week I'm away - YAY!
