Ok, I admit it - this week's blog is basically just a reason for me to talk about our wedding again, because I loved it quite a lot. New readers - this blog started out as a wedding countdown, so if you fancy reading the ramblings of a relatively stressed out bride (with what I… Continue reading W is for Wedding: the A-Z of a Vintage Girl in a Modern World

Times change and so must I.
I am beyond excited to tell you the wedding photos are in!

The wedding – 2 weeks on
This week, after four and a half years, I left my job. Not, I hasten to add, because I've gone full on 1950s and given up work as I'm now married, but because I have a very exciting new job, in a whole new industry, that I start tomorrow. Because why do one big thing… Continue reading The wedding – 2 weeks on
Meanwhile, The Boy did his own preparations…
I thought you guys deserved a bonus post this week! The Boy and I were chatting about my last post, and wanted to show what it's like for a groom in the lead up to a wedding.

I married The Boy – 1 week on
Today marks eight whole days since I married the love of my life, and it's been just wonderful. We went to Bath for a few days, where we walked around in the rain, drank tea and ate cake (or, in The Boy's case, bath buns), and generally had a lovely, relaxing time. Now we're back… Continue reading I married The Boy – 1 week on
Sneak peek: Afternoon tea – 4 days to go
As a special treat, here's a guest post from The Boy, all about the crockery we've been buying for the wedding, and the fun weekend we've just had, making sure it's all clean and ready for Saturday. ****** So about four months ago Carrie-Ann suggested that we buy our own wedding crockery.

Why my mum’s giving me away at my wedding – 6 days to go
Photo: Lara Blake Photography Holy Christ, I get married in less than a week. I know I've been doing a countdown every single week, and really should have seen this coming, but it's taken me completely by surprise. Someone, anyone, please assure me that this is entirely normal? I know I said no more spoilers,… Continue reading Why my mum’s giving me away at my wedding – 6 days to go
A truly glorious hen party – 4 weeks to go
With only four weeks left until the wedding, it's time for the hen and stag parties! The Boy's surprise trip is next weekend (I'll be taking the opportunity to make centrepieces, assemble cake stands and catch up on Bridezillas), but this weekend was my turn! My sister, Kates, had planned the entire thing, and kept… Continue reading A truly glorious hen party – 4 weeks to go
Band or DJ? – 17 weeks to go
Image from Kings Place Weddings How I Met Your Mother did an episode on the concept, Adam Sandler starred in a film, and I imagine that ever since weddings were invented, brides and grooms to-be have been asked, shortly after announcing their wedding date, "So, what are you doing about music?". It's a pretty big… Continue reading Band or DJ? – 17 weeks to go
