For the four youngest children we're getting soft toy otters from ebay since they are Ian's favourite animal and the reception will be held at Otterton Mill:
We've got Finn (who's a lot older than the other children) some plasticine.

The Rings
Rather than go with traditional wedding rings, we've decided to design our own.
We chose plain Palladium bands from Smooch Rings and are having them engraved with little dragonflies all the way round.
The rings arrived in May:

Bridal jewellery
I chose a necklace with crystal and diamante flowers from a seller in the US.
I didn't like the earrings that came with it so I bought some (fake) pearl and crystal earrings and a matching bracelet on ebay.
They'll work well on the wedding day, but I can also use them for other special occasions.

The Bride's dress
I chose my wedding dress today. It was the second dress I tried on and I only tried one more on after that. I was obviously very lucky to fall in love with a dress so quickly and didn't need to go to any other dress shops.
The dress is by Phil Collins (not the musician / singer). Unfortunately the only photographs of it on the internet show it in pink (ugh!):
Still, I'm sure that there'll be hundreds, if not thousands, of photographs taken of it in ivory on our wedding day.
