Preparations in full flow...

Things are hectic with the planning with only 56 days to go as TheKnot.com insists on reminding me. Venues are booked, photographer is booked, officiator is booked, music is still a problem, wedding dress is in progress, groom's attire is to be decided, invitations are sent, accommodation is mostly sorted out, cake vendor has been decided, wedding bands to be sorted.... etc etc. Eloping would be way way easier. LOL. Anyway, we're not that gatvol yet.

The Farm (ceremony venue) is also coming along very nicely. Our caretaker Dixon is doing an awesome job with the clean-up. Even though the farm is great there was a lot of work to be done to get it up to wedding venue standards. The previous owner was a big handyman so tools, left-overs and half-finished projects were strewn all over the place. So we've cleaned up a lot of the junk that was lying around, including old tiles, bricks, wood, drums, wire and plastic containers. There was an old beat up trailer, a semi-functional cement mixer and a broken old water tank that we had to remove. There are also some old parts that needed sprucing up with a new coat of paint. Good progress has been made on that, with the old dam and the roof of the house still to be done. Finally, we've tidied up inside the Milkwood grove where the actual ceremony is going to be. Phew, hard work has been done, but there is still plenty to do. And it's only going to get busier. Bye for now, got stuff to plan

Return to the Farm

So we were back at the farm this last weekend to start the preparations and check a few things out. Some progress has been made so far, especially with the clearing of all the vegetation along the road that was obstructing the way. There was lots of other small admin stuff to get done, but I won't bore you with the details. Suffice to say that the place is still looking awesome and it's going to be a perfect venue. The ball is rolling and it's very exciting...
