Wedding plans and weekends away
Monday, April 30th, 2007Wedding plans are all going to.. er.. plan so far. This is one of the main reasons we chose to get married in Caldicot Castle (apart from the fact that it is a castle, of course) - theres not really a great deal for us to do as they organise pretty much everything. We had the rings made in NZ, Ollie had her dress made there too, and I had my suit made in Thailand, the venue sorts out the ceremony, food, etc, our friends are providing the music.. what else is there? Guests, I suppose, but so far they have all done a reasonable job of replying to our invitations (generally in the positive).
So without a great deal to organise for the wedding, we spend our time going away for weekends 
We were in Norway last weekend. Had a brilliant time - really miss the place. Spent Saturday getting pissed with Martin and Jorgen in Oslo, then Sunday skiing in the mountains. Hangover wasn’t too bad, and the fact that it was 22′C meant we were skiing in t-shirts
The weekend before Norway was spent in Cambridge, to celebrate Ollie’s birthday, and our ‘engagement anniversary’ (our anniversary list keeps growing - by the end of this year, we will have three of the buggers - a ‘getting together’ anniversary, an engagement one, plus the obvious wedding one). Still, always good to have an excuse to go away for the weekend (not that we need one). Cambridge was excellent. As it was Ollie’s birthday, her colleagues at work had bought her a couple of bottles of champagne, which we dutifully polished off in a wee Indian restaurant that evening. Cambridge is a lovely town, although I was surprised at how small it was. Lots of nice places to go out and eat and drink, lots of parks to wander through, a river to wander along.
Off to Wales this weekend with Alex and his girlfriend. Haven’t seen Alex since we were in a band together in Oslo back in 2001, so will be cool to catch up. More curries, beer and walks in the countryside planned
