Re: Wedding Planning!
I cut out all the fabric pieces for the actual dress over the weekend (except the sleeves). A little scary, a lot of pattern piece rearrangement geometry, but it fit the pieces of fabric I wanted to use.

Re: Wedding Planning!
The conclusion of our scientific testing was that the cake tasted amazing each time, the amazingness did not diminish too much through being refrigerated, frozen, or warmed up, and we have made a good choice. (Still have to place the actual order but they don't need a lot of lead time because this i...

Re: Wedding Planning!
The typical format of a cake tasting, as I understand it, involves sampling multiple flavours of cake and making a decision on a favourite (or a favourite combination). For us it involved 4 sampling sessions... each of the same cake. You might ask why? Could we not make up our minds easily? The loca...

Re: Wedding Planning!
Wedding website created... we started with TheKnot, and hated some of the lack of options to edit things we disliked seeing. Then we moved on to weddingwire - and discovered that only US addresses were accepted. So we landed on WithJoy. Photographer booked Caterer test meal sampled, caterer booked T...

Re: Wedding Planning!
We're starting to reach the stage of wedding planning where putting together a wedding website seems like a good idea. Do any of you have any recommendations and/or good or bad experiences with any in particular? It seems like the US ones are kind of the gold standard, even though we aren't US based...

Re: Wedding Planning!
Made a toile of the bodice for a dress pattern I thought I'd like to use, and decided it needs a lot of modifying to be what I want. Time to pick another pattern probably.

Re: Wedding Planning!
I'm not sure how "leaning towards traditional" ours is, but there are certainly some traditional aspects to it. We've now paid the deposit for the large pretty tent (even in summer one has to plan for potential rain, and if it doesn'train we still need sun protection), and are back to talk...

Re: Wedding Planning!
Milestone: on Wednesday we filled in the paperwork to book our venue (and thus set the date in stone), and today the venue has confirmed our booking (the events person was on leave).
Ok now it starts to be real.

Re: Wedding Planning!
It was both helpful in some unexpected ways and unhelpful in other ways. Saw a tent company that we had discounted due to expecting it to cost too much, but they don't, and their quote is likely to be what we go with. For two people who don't drink much figuring out drink offerings is proving compli...

Re: Wedding Planning!
Aaargh weddings cost so much money! We have quotes for venue, catering, tent, and ballpark guesses for a lot of other things... and we're at the upper end of our budget. We have no real idea what a photographer, a cake, or providing beverages is going to set us back (funnily enough those are the top...

Yes, I'm in Auckland, which is rather a distance away from the Earthquake (though I think right now the thoughts of everyone in the country are right there).

I haven't used the wi-fi at the library, but they have big signs directing you on how to use it scattered all over the library (which I haven't read, because, well, I haven't needed to use it). up until about a year ago, you needed a library card and pin to reserve and log on to computers in the ups...

(well, I'd probably start talking about missing out on the lavender ice-cream, but that's just me) On which note, we popped by the ice cream shop and they said that so long as we gave them 24 hours' notice, they could make it for us on request once it is in season. Not fair. Now I want Icecream. Of...

I've read some of his books from time to time - some when I was younger, others when I was older. I even had a map of the books at one point - I think I gave it to my mother the librarian.
