Relief all 'round this weekend when my vicar arrived back from his post-Christmas holiday and confirmed he can marry us. Phew! The ceremony will take place in the same church that my parents got married in, and is the one where I was baptised, confirmed and spent many years singing in the choir - so it was quite important that we got the green light.
Damian and I also went back to the place we're having our reception for a second look - and we loved it just as much, so that was great. My mum, along with my aunt and uncle came too, and we talked table plans and decorations. It feels very surreal to be talking about this stuff so early in the planning stage, but the venue is really popular over the summer and so we won't be able to see it again for months.
The highlight of the weekend though was going to my first bridal shops with mum, and looking at wedding dresses. Despite my fears we would find nothing, there were a few options and so that was a real relief. We visited a gorgeous and very friendly shop a few miles from my family home, and I actually tried a few on. Mum seems to understand what I'm after, which is a relief, as I'd hate for us to disagree on such an important outfit. I've waited years to do this trip and thought it might be quite emotional, but actually it was just lots of fun, and my mum was really encouraging about how I looked - which is just what a girl needs when she's feeling low on confidence!
