Wedding Night

I wasn't sure what to do on our wedding night. Because we don't have a reception venue the sensible thing would be to go home I guess but that's not very special is it? 

Early on in our relationship we spent a lot of time at Premier Inns so they hold somewhat fond memories for us. They've recently opened a new hotel in our town centre and are offering rooms for the bargain price of £29...we can't not stay for £29!!

Premier Inn might not be everyones idea of romance but it's certainly fitting for us.

I Do Venue....

 

 Today we took a trip out to visit Sheffield register office and the surrounding areas to get an idea of where we will be on the day and photo locations. It was ridiculously windy - fingers crossed the mild weather returns for the 28th - but we managed to get around and see everything we wanted to see and get plenty of photos. I'm really pleased with the location and the register office inside is amazing.. I can't quite believe it's costing so little.. it's like a stately home or something. I'm pretty sure it's a listed building.. a bit special! Just around the corner there's the Peace Gardens which are obviously a little lovelier in Summer but I was pleased to see the fountain still operates in the colder months. For a little warmth there's an indoor "Winter Gardens" in which I imagine we will have pictures taken with the children so as not to expose them to the January air. All in all it was a productive trip and I've come over all excited having seen the place we will be married in. Now I apologise for what is about to become a very picture heavy post but I found it difficult to pick and choose my favourites from the day.. here's what I narrowed it down to...

Let Them Eat Cake?

 

As a Master Baker (tee-hee) myself I am very tempted to bake my own wedding cake as 1. we're very tight on cash and 2. I'd really enjoy it. My quandary does not come from whether to make it myself so much as whether to have one AT ALL. I'm not yet 100% sure of our "reception" venue yet, it could be a restaurant, it could be our house.. that may make a difference first and foremost. A third party venue may not allow us to bring in our own food! I'm also not sure who will attend, if it's just 6 of us then is there much point? I suppose if I did individual cupcakes that would solve that problem but as we're not having an actual wedding (more like a quick I do and some drinks and nibbles) would cake be a bit... much? 

What do you think? 

What is a Wedding without the Wedding cake?

Photo Checklist

Now we're definitely getting married over here with friends and family I want to get the most out of it I can. We wanted to do it alone as you know but there are many benefits to letting others share in your special day and if this is the way we're doing it then I will be taking advantage of them! The main one of course is photography! I plan to have everyone take as many photos as possible in the hope we will have one or two that I can frame. There are certain photos we can set up and take ourselves (I'm a total control freak) but some we will have to rely on others for (nervous). Here are all the shots I want to get out of the day...

The Rings, 

My Shoes,

Me Getting Ready,

My Dress,

A Kiss,

A Classic Bride & Groom Pose,

A Group Shot.

I pretty much only need help with two or three of those so finger crossed we will still get a nice collection of photos - after a little editing no doubt.

Exciting News!

All the necassary paperwork is in hand and we have our appointment booked to give notice on the 10th.. that's this coming tuesday!!! Giving notice then means the earliest date we can wed is 26/01 (you must leave 16 clear days). We're hoping for the 28th but waiting to hear if there's availability. We plan to visit city hall over the weekend and check out the area to get an idea of where we'll be on the day, where's good for photos etc. It's all getting very exciting.. I knew it would happen quickly once it happened but all being well we will be married in 22 days.. eee!
