Five weeks to go! : Weather
That’s right, only five weeks until the big day!!! Even less until the start of the Wombok Festival!!
In this first weekly update, I have complied some weather information you might find useful.
We are getting terribly excited at this stage! I can’t believe how quickly time has passed, and now there is only 5 weeks until our wedding! There is still plenty of last minute planning going on to keep us busy here in London. I wish I could tell you more, but let’s just say there’s going to be a surprise or two that will make our special day one to never forget!!
I hope at this point to post an update each week counting down to the big day. So if you don’t want to be bombarded, then you’re welcome to unsubscribe from these emails. Just click the “Subscribe” link on the toolbar above.
