This is just a test post trialling Deepest Sender, a Firefox Add-on for posting to blogs that I stumbled upon.

If you fancy using this then here’s the link to install it.

I’ll give it a review after I’ve hit post, and taken a closer look at its potential


Update on the Wedding Preparations

September 6, 2007

Just thought I’d post a small update on how the wedding preparations are going.

Its now only 9 days till our big day. Its come around fast, and I can’t wait!

Hotel

The invoice from the hotel arrived yesterday, which has actually come in under our budget, not a huge amount, but its still under, which is a good thing. This is definitely the biggest expense that we will incur, as its not cheap trying to feed 75 guests.

Suits

I got a phone call yesterday to inform me that all of the suits had come in and were ready for collection today. So now, all of the suits will need to be tried on to make sure everything fits and any changes made. Hopefully there won’t be any!

Speech

Last night I had a good rehearsal of my speech. I set up our video camera and did my speech to it. It was a big help as I could play the tape back and pick up on things that didn’t sound right etc. I was quite surprised at how long my speech was, it lasted just about ten minutes, and that was pretty much the same on all takes. (I think there were 5 takes last night)

Anyway I was pleasantly surprised how it went, although how it goes on the actual day remains to be seen. I’m pretty happy with the content of the speech, I just need to work on the presentation a little bit more before next Saturday.

Hopefully I won’t have to make too many speeches in my life. But I do know I’ll probably have to do one when Ellie gets married, but thankfully that’s a few years off yet :)
