Big Day: 18 Jul 2009 • Countdown: 240 days
Wedding A-Z
Heres our Wedding A-Z - we have included website address so that you feel more involved in our planning - and you can see what sort of day it is going to be like.
A- Accomodation, If you would like a room at The Crown or any other accomodation we have a whole page devoted to this information. We have booked the whole Crown Inn so we do still have spaces there. Please make sure you think about booking places now because our wedding is during one of the busier times of the year.
B - Best man and Bridesmaids The best man hasn't been chosen yet however there is a strong possibility. The bridesmaids are our sisters - Ami and Bex.
C - Church and Car to get to the Church the Bridesmaids, Flower girl, Mother of the BRide, Father of the Bride and the Bride are going in a 1930 Lagonda Tourer We will also be going to our reception in it.
D - Dancing Everyone is under strict instructions to boogie the night away. We want to see empty chairs when the disco hots up!
E - Evening We have a 2 part evening, the first part is a formal 3 course sit down meal (menu to be included in invites) and the 2nd part is a disco with Atomic Swing Cats and if you wish to bring partners or friends then IF you go through me and Alex there may be room for them to come and join you. They will not be allowed in if they are not on a guest list. Before the disco there is a chance to go and freshen up in your rooms - we know we shall be doing so.
F - Flowers and Flower Girl Sam's cousin Caitlyn will be the flowergirl with a basket of dried petals or a wand. We haven't decided finally on the flowers yet except for the bridesmaids who will have 6 roses - of 2 different colours.
G - GiftsIf you are considering a gift, please refer to our Gift Registry page
H - Honeymoon We are off to a private Villa in Playa Blanca for 2 weeks starting the day after the wedding!

)

U - Ushers The hundreds of brothers + Craig - well only 5 overall but they will be keeping an eye on everything!
V - Vegetarians If you are vegetarian or have any other dietry request when you RSPV please tell us otherwise you will end up having something you can't eat!
W - What to WearObviously we want you to dress in your finest, no casual scruffs please! Ladies if you can afford some type of headress please do wear them to add to the elegance of the occance - a dress will also be nice (I'm even getting mum in one) if you are in the military and would like to wear your Number 1s you are more than welcome to if you have permission from whoever you need it from. If your an Adult Staff member in Cadets you have permission off the Wing Commander.
X - Xcess Alcohol You will get one complementry arrival drink unfortunatly you will have to buy your own drinks from then on - unless your on the top table where there is wine. There might be some wine on the table as well. Be aware of what you are drinking because if you cannot control yourself you will unfortuantly be escorted to your accomodation before the end of the day.
Y - is for youOur guests are what will make the day even more special for us, so we hope you have a wonderful time
Z - zzzzzzzzzzz When you want to go home, please don't feel you have to wait for us to leave first. We are staying locally and will stay until the bar closes and the music stops. We hope that you can too but we understand that it is a long day and that you may burn out before our excitement and adrenaline does...
