Over the past couple of weeks I've been busy working on a couple of short, humorous plays which will hopefully be published together in one book. I can't tell you much about them at the moment though because it's Top Secret... But I'm happy to say that I sent the plays off to my editor this morning and she loves them PHEW!
We've been busy making arrangements of our wedding on 27th October - very excited and can't wait. On Monday, Laura came to see us and to have her dress fitting. she looks lovely in her dress, as Deanna did when she came the week before. I still can't show any pictures yet - you will have to wait for the wedding photographs...
Before trying her dress on we had a wander through the park and shared some nuts with the local squirrels... Saturday was spent in Liverpool getting bridesmaid dresses for the youngest two bridesmaids and on Sunday we went to Southport to watch the 21st Airshow.
The beach was full by about half ten and there were queues of traffic while everyone else tried to get to the car parks... Amazing how many people were there over 100 000 over the two days according to the newspaper.
Deanna came to visit for the day yesterday so that she could be fitted for her bridesmaid dress - she looked lovely. I can't let you see pictures of her bridesmaid dress yet - you'll have to wait until after the wedding in October... It was nice and sunny in the morning so while she was here we had a wander round the lovely city of Chester. After a look round a few shops we walked along the old city walls as we made our way to the bridal shop. Here's a picture of Vicky and Deanna taken on the city wall at the back of the Cathedral,
and another of Vicky and myself taken a little further along the wall.
After being fitted for her dress we had a little drive to Flint to see the post box that has been painted gold to celebrate Jade Jones winning a gold medal in Tae Kwon Do. There were banners everywhere welcoming Jade home... a good idea painting a postbox gold in each of the medal winners home towns I think.
I am so very happy to be able to tell you that my lovely lady, Vicky Harris, has said that yes, she will marry me... so I am delighted to be able to tell you that we are now engaged and that we will be getting married in October next year. I will tell you more about that as the time gets closer...
Over the summer we spent a lovely week in Tenby with Connor and Vicky's Mum and Dad... here we are sat at the harbour...
Since then we have been having fun planning our wedding and making arrangements for our perfect day - there are so many important things to be considered... including what songs will be played at the reception. Our favourite song, and one that is very special to us, is Truly, Madly, Deeply, by a group called Savage Garden.
There are so many things to be happy about but for now I can tell you that we are delighted that Rachel, Laura, Deanna, Rachel and Lauren have agreed to be bridesmaids, that my brother Craig has agreed to be my best man, and that Connor has agreed to be ring bearer for the day. There is so much more to tell you about but you will just have to wait...
