Frustration

We're hoping to get married at school, albeit during the holiday. The chapel is plenty big enough for all of our friends and family (and then some!) and the main school hall would be ideal for a meal and then some Belgian National Six Piece Tambourine Quartet drunken barn dance action. The only problem is that both buildings are booked on the day that we've been eying up, which is currently school's Speech Day. However, consultations have been taking place within school to change Speech Day, including moving it to another date, which then leaves our chosen venues free on the date we want them: hurrah!

Although it all seems to be falling neatly into place, the final Speech Day decision is not being made by the Head until next month and the waiting is proving a little nerve-janglingly frustrating. We want to start booking things (a woman to cook the bangers and mash; the Belgian National Six Piece Tambourine Quartet band; the school chaplain) but it's no good unless we know WHEN we're getting hitched. Once that date's confirmed, we've got everything else sorted - menu, decor, flowers, invites, guest list, drinks, order of events - but at the moment it just seems a real faff because it's not moving forward and we're starting to talk of registry-office-quickies as a way of getting things kick-started. Pah.

In other news: I have tried on some dresses.
