A little closer...

Ok, so we've finally moved a tiny bit closer with our wedding plans.
I've bought my dress and all the associated bits and bobs, the bridesmaid dresses have been chosen and will be ordered at the end of September, we've got some flower girl dresses on the way early next year and matching fabric for the men's cravats has also been sorted.
We've also decided which wedding planner in Italy that we're going to use to sort everything out over there and have booked a week in September to head out to Sorrento and meet with the lady and see some venues etc.
So all in all, I don't think that's too bad with 10 months to go! There is a lot less we need to think about having the wedding abroad than here.
I even tried to suggest to my mum that we not bother with a wedding cake for over there but just have one at the party for wider friends and family back here afterwards. That went down about as well as a lead balloon and I have been told in no uncertain terms that I AM having a wedding cake on the day I actually get married.
I've been really lucky with my mum actually. She and my dad are helping us out so much with paying for the wedding, as are Da Boy's parents, but considering they're footing much of the bill, she's been pretty good about not taking over things. There are a couple of things we've clashed over but, all in all, she's been awesome.
Oh, we have also almost decided on our first dance song. Well, I'm 100% convinced, Da Boy only about 60% but I am working on him...
