Things are pretty quiet around here without Dad around. It's funny how you don't really notice how much a part of your life someone is until they're not around any more. I'm just glad that Dad's reason for not being here is a happy one.

In other news, plans continue for the wedding. Brynn has, of course, agreed to be my Maid of Honour and we've picked out a gorgeous red dress for her. I should probably send out invites next week, since I just realised tonight that the wedding is in 2 months and 17 days. I thought I had more than 3 months to go, but then I came across one of those fun ticker sites that does wedding tickers so I made one out of interest and discovered that it's actually 2 months and 17 days.

I don't think there's any point having a proper reception. There are only a handful of people invited (quite literally) so we might just have dinner somewhere and cake and that'll be it. I don't really care about all that. We could have pizza at home and I'd be happy as long as the people I love are there (and I know Steven would prefer that!).

I don't think there's much more to organise actually. At least, for me. John is organising the honeymoon, the rings and his and Steven's suits. I just have to find my dress, which is harder than I thought given that no one shop stocks all of the dresses I want to try on, so this means a lot of driving.

I do, however, already have some sexy lingerie to wear on our honeymoon... ;)

I managed to book the church today, for July 29. Luckily they had a cancellation, although I feel bad saying that because obviously that means a couple has broken up. I guess it's better to find out now rather than on the day.

Anyway, that was the main thing that I was concerned about, because we wanted that particular date to work in with Steven's football camp, but if I hadn't been able to book the church, then we would have found another place to have it. I just had my heart set on a church wedding with my Dad walking me down the aisle.

The rest of it should all fall into place now as there really isn't all that much to organise. The fun part is going to be finding the dress, but there's no rush.
