Buying things

The collection of wedding gubbins is steadily growing, with the latest additions being some expensive material (suit-shaped) and some shiny metal (ring-shaped). We've had to find a safe place for storing the latter of these, so let's hope that I can remember where I've stashed it when it gets to May time!

We've also had confirmation that we'll get the special wedding licence, so that's another thing crossed off the list. Part of me was worried that The Powers That Be would refuse permission to use the school chapel and we'd have to resort to a registry office quickie before having a pretend ceremony on the day. Luckily, that's not necessary. Phew.

In other news, we started writing out invitations, using address lists carefully provided by both mothers. Consequently it's been really easy to do the family invites (despite one or two hiccups over the spelling of various relations' names!) but we are now into the dangerous territory of invites for friends. I have NO IDEA where most of my friends live, so there are many hours of phone calls ahead if we're to get these invites out before June. Thank goodness for offical society address lists.
