being Mother-of-the-Bride (aka Wedding Planner) seems to be taking every waking moment. The big event is four weeks today, after the hoo-ha has all died down, normal service will be resumed.
A month before the wedding I checked my lists and see
Twelve dozen chairs
Eleven kilos strawberries
Ten dozen canapes
Nine cases Champers
Eight flavours of ice cream
Seven waiters waiting Six punts a-punting
Five tiers of cake
Four mobile loos
Three types of cheese* 
Two gorgeous bouquets
AND
One very large marquee!
Not to mention one organic Hog Roast, eight litres dried flower petals for confetti, 17 bottles of Mrs Dart's Excellent Elderflower Cordial, one firkin of ale, two djs, seven dozen quail's eggs, a truckload of salads, 4 sides of smoked salmon; and last but by no means least, 150 meters of wedding bunting made by my own fair hand - for which I expect to get The Best Mother in the World Award.

Loved the blog and photos! It's going to be the most fun wedding ever! SO sorry to miss it! xxx
Oh wow!! Sure we can't squeeze in a partridge and a pear tree somewhere??! And your 50m of hand-made bunting rmeinds me of the placemats that we had to marble by habd for my sister-in-law's wedding to my brother. Over 200 of them. With 4 layers of paint and a laquer on each. And there were only 5 of us working...
The things we do for weddings!!
Break a leg and I am sure you are going to have a fantastic day :)
It all looks absolutely wonderful.
And so how did it go?
I'm agog to hear how the big day went.
Hope all is well with you.
Looks and sounds *wonderful* - I'm so glad it all went smoothly, especially after all the catering stress!
