All this wedding lark started in April when Paul proposed to me on the clifftops overlooking the sea... and everything has snowballed from there...

Paul and I decided we wanted to break from tradition and have a wedding with a difference. Neither of us were bothered about a church wedding so we decided we wanted to get married outdoors in the sunshine. What better place than on the Tuscan hills in Italy. We fell in love with it after a holiday there this summer and booked a villa near the medieval town of Montalcino.

The wedding plans have had their ups and downs so far.. Paul decided early on that it would be best if he stayed out of the wedding plans as much as he could (very sensible...) so that means I can have everything I want!! ha ha! Mum and I have been very busy and its been great spending time together-I have a lot to thank her for already she's so talented! I'm glad she's keeping me on the straight and narrow as I haven't got a clue what you're meant to do and when..
