In amongst being horrifically Ill with a few migraines, a chest infection and really bad sinusitis as well as being really tired and a bit lethargic, I have had some good news and some pretty frickin awesome news too.
1) My pub opens on Friday which means I have a full time job again (Yay!!).
2) Thanks to the wonders of Primark, I though I was a size 16/18 jeans size due to 'fashions' inability to cohere with each style/ shop/ brand/ whatever. BUT!! On an off-chance I went to Sports Direct to get new trainers for work and went upstairs to trawl through all the women's clothing. I found a really nice pair of black boot-cuts for £9 but they were a size 14... My other half told me that I should take them home and try them anyway, just in case. And by jove, they fitted!! Which boosted my confidence no end! Im not as fat as I thought!
3) THIS IS BEYOND AWESOME!! Two of my closest friends have been going out a little longer than me and Mr. Bunny. And they are an awesome couple, they work off each other so easily and when you look at them you can tell they were meant to be together. It was the male friends birthday drinks yesterday at our local, and he had ALOT of friends and family around. All of a sudden the girl stands up and announces that she asked the guy to marry her on the 29th of Feb and he said yes!!! Her ring should be coming on the 12th March, and His a few days later. So, after a lot of happy screaming, tears and many drinks, we went outside for a chat about everything when she takes my hand and asks me to be one of her bridesmaids!! Of course I couldn't say no, I love these two to bits and it would be an absolute honour!! I even offered to make her wedding jewellery for her as a present. I used to do it as a job so I know where to get things and how to make it and it means she can have exactly what she wants.
This got me thinking back to this particular job. I made commissioned wedding and special occasion jewellery for a little company who mostly deals with pearls and semi-precious stones. Because I was looking after so many brides and their families, I used to collect loads of wedding magazines and bits and pieces from websites to help give the women lots of inspiration. I thought at one point that it would be cool to be a wedding planner, but so much time and money has to go into it that it wouldn't be financially viable. However, when I can I try and help out as many friends and family when they do have weddings.
So, I have decided to start a second blog about weddings! Now, I'm not doing the whole teenager 'I'm planning my own wedding' thing, cause that's a little bit weird. How can you plan a wedding when you're not yet engaged, and when you don't know what's going to happen in the future?
So, I'll write about what I know. And what I find. What's 'in fashion' at the moment and delve into weddings with a difference. But most of all I want to give as much information as possible on how to do a wedding your OWN way, where to find suppliers for cakes to flowers, how to make your own invitations and favours, even using Ebay and discount vouchers to help make it cheaper, and how to phrase talking to companies about your wedding. I'm really excited!!!
Ever snivelly and gooey,
Bunny xx
