Bits, Bobs and the Boys

There is an underlying sense of panic but for no reason. Sure, there are lots of "small" things that need organising but I think for the most part we are there.

Given up on the trip to France however the lovely Lady Scott and Nackers took the initiative and came back from France loaded with lovely whites, reds and a stunning little pink bubbly number. Just more memories of France and needless to say we cannot wait for the honeymoon.

The weekend was spent half successful and half not successful. Oh yes, head petal scatterer now has her outfit - I am sure that Jemima Jane is going to look an absolute star. We now have to start collecting petals!

Anyway, two very special guests at the wedding, and indeed they mean the world to both of us but me especially, Mr Henry John Ellis and Mr James Daniel Ellis.

Henry John - first born - "H" to most. I remember coming out of the hospital after he popped out. No mucking about apart from trying to strangle himself with the umbilical on the way out. Going home at 7am, sunshine and lambs and green Welsh meadows and all this in the grounds of the hospital it was never going to be a day I will ever forget.

H is Mr Adventure. Snow-boarder, street hockey player, beer aficionado and part time ferreter (I have the photos). Live wire is an understatement and truly, I can get exhausted just listening to what he fits into his life but hey, that's son number one.

Still, age catches up with all of us and at the stunning age of 22 H has become worrying adult! Not only has he and lovely lovely girlfriend Emma done the "Visit Australia" experience but career focused and they now have a wonderful flat in Surbiton. Domesticity beckons I feel :)

So that is Henry - and I'm immensely proud that he will be doing a reading at our ceremony.

James Daniel - son number two - my little boy who is rapidly going to overtake me in height (though I personally think I'm shrinking). Memories of birth somewhat different from H as I had to be restrained in the hospital for trying to smack the registrar between the eyes (it's a long story).

James (or Dan as he gets called) is an opposite to Henry in that he's quiet (most of the time), laid back (to the point of falling over) and manages to look Mr Cool with his clothes and quite extraordinary hairstyles (which I am led to believe are the height of fashion).

Dan also hasn't selected the life career yet. Some ideas have been floated (I personally think if he had started on the hair dressing apprenticeship he would have been an international stylist by now) however he is very good at drinking, a good cook and seriously could compete for the UK in the Olympics at the 24 hours sleep.

So that's James Dan - and watch for him at the wedding, he may well have a surprise up his sleeve!

So on the final countdown now - as you can see from below we have got our wedding outfits - hope you've got yours
