Don’t Tweet The Bride

So, my boyfriend’s housemates are getting married next year.  It is destined to be awesome. (Seriously, the engagement party was epic - there was a ball-filled bouncy castle INSIDE a casino…)

However, Dom being Dom he is doing it all a little differently and Heather being mental brave awesome is letting him do things his way.

He needs your help.

I’ll let him explain why:

Up for it? Sign up at Don’t Tweet The Bride to lend a hand and keep up with all the inside news – remember, you’ll know more than Heather!

Note: Dom didn’t ask me to write this post and definitely isn’t paying me to do it – I just think him and Heather are awesome and deserve the bestest day ever. Though, you know, if you happen to be reading, Dom, and are feeling generous some Click’n'Mix would never be unappreciated in this household…

March Challenge – I Almost Managed It

I set myself the challenge to write 3000 words on my WIP during March. I came *very* close – my word count comes in at 2953 so I was only 47 words short, which, to be honest I probably did write and then deleted because that’s how writing so often works. You write 500 words, re-read them and delete a good 100 of them. So I expect I probably managed it really if not in my official count.

To be honest considering how mental March got in the end I’m amazed I even came close to my word count amongst every thing else.

The last week of March in particular was a marathon. I started out ill, then ventured to London for the next lot of my Olympics Games Maker 2012 training (that was a long day trip!), then I was all social and went to see The Hunger Games with Caius (having demolished the book in the space of a day). Then came Friday and a mad panic of a day trying to make sure I had done everything I was supposed to in preparation for my best friend Megan’s wedding the next day (you know, little jobs like make the playlist for the disco and make sure I remembered to take the first dance CD with me…).

And finally Saturday. Megan and Scott’s wedding. What can I say? There are no words that do justice to the beauty and awesomeness of that day. It was so full of love from the moment I arrived at Meg’s house at 9am when she was having her hair done through to the moment Caius and I reluctantly left the hotel under a starlit sky that there were times when I thought I might burst with it. More than one tear was shed out of happiness for the two of them during the course of the day I can assure you.

Being able to share their special day with them was amazing. Caius, Tori, Arthur and I were honoured to be a part of it and the memories will be treasured for a long time I have no doubt. And there were sparklers and…LIGHTSABERS! Yes, the bridal party totally provided the newly wed RAF couple with a Guard of Honour using lightsabers before their first dance, because we are THAT cool. And we provided a lightsaber arch for them to dance under too on impulse. Win.

The Red Dress

I promised to post a picture of me in my shiny new dress at the wedding yesterday – so here it is! (And a picture of the happy couple Sarah & Tim too)

(My dress came from Bella Mama for anyone wondering)
