The Wedding and Honeymoon show 2011

Hello lovelies, 
I would first like to say, I am so sorry not blogging in such a long time. Things have been mad with starting college, moving house and freshers week. I wrote this post a long time ago but haven't had time to take photos till now.  


Oh the amount of events I have gone to at the RDS, t'is quite a few.
To brake up my scarily busy weekend I decided that I would go to The Wedding and Honeymoon show in the RDS.

Even thought the wedding is such a long way off I couldn't help but go. I thought I would come out with loads of ideas and a better sense of what I wanted. A few friends of mine said that their relatives got good ideas for their own weddings. 

Look at that Queue!

I was genuinely surprised at the amount of people who where their. I did not expect to see that many brides to be. I was one of the lucky ones to pick up a bridal magazine so I will be oohing and awing over this for the next while.


Their where two things I wanted to get more information on.
1. Invites/save the date
2. Marquees


I didn't get much information. A lot of the people at the stands I felt where rude and unhelpful. They asked questions that they had no interest in hearing the answer and contradicted themselves on important points of information. 


Compared to many other RDS shows everything was all over the place. Groups of stands that you would expect to see next to each other where not. In fact I am pretty sure I only saw one stand for honeymoons which kinda defeats the purpose of a wedding and honeymoon show.

Over all I was not very impressed. I didn't get what I wanted to get out of the whole experience.  I felt it was a bit of a waist of time bar the cake samples which where divine! 


Did anyone go to the show this year? Was it like this last year?  Did you experience the same or did you have a better experience? 

I've got a very important date...

O.K so this is a very VERY important post. 

Two things, we have decided to go the bogger route and the DATE has been booked.

I emailed the priest last Friday with the date and having the vows in English.  Now you probably are thinking why did you not just call. I was scared that he would say no and scared that I would not be able to convey to him what I wanted the same way as I would in English. The relief I felt when he called and said YES was huge and yes I did dance around the living room in my pajamas and jumped on the bed to tell Paul the news. 

The all important date is

13/09/2013

It seams so far away but I know its just going to fly by.

The final day of detox

On Sunday morning I woke up and didn't feel one bit hungry, even though I had gone over 12 hours without eating which I though was strange. 


For breakfast I had some lovely leeks topped off with some lovely leek broth (oh you can feel the love)  


For lunch I had the same. 


Now for dinner you are meant  to have a low calorie low carb dinner such as chicken with veg. As someone who was looking forward to this meal since yesterday and scoured the Internet looking for low carb chicken dishes. You can imagine how excited I was about that. Alas when we got to the supermarket we realised that if we bought all the ingredients that we needed we wouldn't have any money for petrol so we thought a takeaway pizza would be the better option. Oddly enough I was only able to eat two slices before I got full. 


Now for the BIG question would I do it again? 
I would. but only for one day. I talked to someone who did it before and they told I could have built up a lot of toxins and need to get rid of more. 


I feel that I am looking at food in a different light. 


What Have I changed?
I changed what I eat, instead of teas and coffees I am going to opt for herbal tea. 
A low fat smoothie in the morning with some protein powder instead of cereal. 
smaller portions in general. Most importantly sharing sweet things.  


When I started this detox my sweet tooth was out of control. I still have a bit of a sweet tooth and I would like it gone so another detox is in order but not too soon.  


Did you do any changes after you're detox? Would you do this detox?


I would like to say a VERY VERY BIG THANK YOU to all who supported me during this detox, I couldn't have done it with out you! 

xoxo
