Wedding Wishes

So I guess the wedding is on to phase 2 really....

The church and reception are booked. The order of service is agreed. The outfits are with their various experts and all that remains for us to do there is pick them up. The invites, and the subsequent correction, have gone out. There are four left to deliver by hand now and two of those will definitely go out today.

So now my thoughts are moving on.

Maybe I have not achieved much this weekend given I have had two days off as well.... but... a dress fitting, a suit booking, a ring discussion and a watch sorting with the jeweller, four hand delivered invites which required we stop for a nice chat too.... And yesterday I gathered me up some wishes.....

I am going to have a Make a Wish, Take a Wish thing, with a wish tree to hang the wishes people make for us on. So I went hunting on the web for blessings and I found lots of them and I pulled them apart. F and I are going to make up some humorous ones too, but I thought you might like a little looksie at them as they are now....

  • May the wind be always at your back
  • May the sunshine warm upon your face
  • May you be poor in misfortune and rich in blessings
  • May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward

  • May the blessing of the rain be on you, may it beat upon your Spirit and wash it fair and clean

  • May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day
  • May songbirds serenade you every step along the way

  • May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures.
  • May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours!
If we had not attended two rock concerts this weekend, which were tiring and required I sleep lots the day after, then I am sure I could have achieved more... but... *shrugs* I have to have some fun! *laugh*

Not sure how much I shall get done today either! Well except for a visit to a guest to deliver an invite and ask many questions *laugh*
