I'm tanning up for the photos

FYI, Pure Gym tanning beds are £3 for 6mins. Winner. 


Yes, I'm aware of ageing/cancer/death risks. Calm your tits.

3 weeks (ish) to go and shit is going down, yo.

Mood: Happy but feeling the pressure
N/P: Chocolate - The 1975
Highlight of the week: Got a little acting role and film some scenes with a British legend next week. Amaze.
Thought for the day: In 4 weeks time I'll be on honeymoon. That thought is keeping me warm.

'iya.

I have learnt that everything happens at once with wedmin. We've had endless calls and emails from various companies and people to confirm final numbers/choices/designs over the past week. The "1 month to go" mark seems to be a biggun. So, here's how things lay at the moment:

Firstly, thank you!



Already had a few folk buying gifts from the John Lewis list and some donations to the Trailfinders pot. HUGE thank you to everyone. I will lick your faces in appreciation when I see you.
If that's what you're into.
Which invariably you wont be.

Stag do's
My stag do was a few weekends ago and it was epic. 20-odd of us took over a house in Ipswich and got on it for a few days. We had a superhero themed costume party, made a surprise visit to a beer festival and played laser-tag. Highllight of this was seeing my mates/family and spending time with everyone. Plus my friend Jon dressed as a drag-queen superhero called "The Sugar-Bum-Fairy" with a giant blond beehive and 12" dildo of justice. I have submitted the concept for Marvel and DC. I suspect they will be in touch any day now.

SIDE NOTE: I am THE BOLLOCKS at laser-tag. I won each game and got the highest player for the month, winning a free session. I have now added this achievement to my CV and am seeking employment in roles that involve running around in the dark, sweating and shooting my friends. You have been warned.

Neil's stag do is next. I have been given a few details and it sounds awesome!

Cake
This Friday we have a meeting to discuss the design of a large cake. I feel this is the only time in my life I will get to say that so here it is again:

It should be pretty cool, can't wait for everyone to see it.

Meal
Testing wedding food and wine was one of the most enjoyable parts of this process for me (possibly because I'm dieting and I got to eat proper food). Me, Neil and most of our parental units ate, drank and had a good laugh at the venue for a few hours. It was relatively easy to make our choices. Hope you all like liver and onions.

JUST JOKING!

It's tripe and sprouts. Bon appetit, mother fuckers.

Diet
I'm on week 6 of the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet. Five days of the week I eat 2000 - 2500 calories, go to the gym and live normally. Two days of the week I eat 600 calories, collapse into bed at 8:30pm and cry uncontrollably when I see someone eating chips.



It's actually a manageable diet and I have lost a ton of weight and fit into my suit now. Specifically I have dropped 2% body fat and about 4.5kg so far. Nice.

Table plan
Neil, clever little monkey he is, has designed a brilliant table seating plan. It's pretty special, not seen one like it before and we will be keeping it for personal use post-wedding. Make of that what you will. Can't wait for you all to see it! All credit to Neil, I had very little involvement.

Ceremony
Ceremony is now planned in terms of readings and what not. Everything is coming together and, whilst I am really confident that it will be very memorable and special, I'm feeling the nerves. And I have a tendency to say inappropriate things when I'm nervous. So when I'm standing there, putting my finger in a ring, I am concerned as to what might slip out. As it were.
