Fallon Wasser, WeddingsOnline's very own fabulous bridal blogger, is marrying Darren Dunne on December 7th, 2012 (lucky guy!) Fallon has been taking us with her through her wedding planning journey since April, this week she gets her Daintree Paper wedding invites ready for sending, tries on her wedding dress in The White Room for the second time, and reveals to us who she has asked to give her away! {Photo features stationery from Finer Details and capped veil/headdress from Little White Dress}
I really don’t know where the time has gone these past few weeks, there’s been so much happening! But before I get into that, let me give you an update on the ‘giving me away’ situation that I wrote about in my last blog post (click to have a little look-see). Like I said, there wasn’t really a lot of thinking to do on my part. My cousin Nick is a year-and-a-bit younger than me. We grew up together along with his sister Emma who is my chief bridesmaid. We spent every Saturday together in my Nan’s and we spent our summers for about 16 years in my auntie’s mobile home in Wexford. They are the closest thing I have to a brother and sister and I couldn’t imagine what my life would be like without them. Of course, when I called him I was nervous but I shouldn’t have been. He was shocked but delighted, and accepted the task of walking me - or maybe even strutting with me - down the aisle. He’s already working on the speech!
Hectic
With that part done and dusted, the last couple of weeks have been hectic on the wedding planning front. I collected my navy invites from Daintree Paper and they are just how I wanted them! My two soon to be sister-in-laws and one of my bezzie mates, Shel, helped me put them together - well to be honest, they did all the hard grafting and I just made the tea. We just had to glue the inserts and tie a little bit of ribbon on. I still have a little bit to do on them but I hope to get them all off in the post this week. Then it will definitely be official that we are getting married! Woop!
I also went back to The White Room to try my dress on - swoon! Goodness, gracious I still really love it. It felt great trying it on, I had my shoes and jewellery with me so I could see the whole look. I decided on my head dress, which I’m going to keep under wraps for the moment, and had a make-up trial, which I was really pleased about. It’s all coming together!
Afters
I also attended the afters of a wedding last weekend of my friend's sister Niamh. It’s mad that as soon as you’re getting married yourself you pay so much more attention to other weddings. The bride was so beautiful, she looked flawless and we had a great night. Makes me look forward to mine even more - 11 weeks and counting!
