Preparing Olly and us for the big day

With our wedding only 4 Saturday's away it was time to start getting Olly in tip top shape. After sitting on the drive all winter (still feels like winter although some may say it's now Spring) she needed a good overhaul. Craig started with the mechanics and she needs some front pads and other things I (Gem) don't really understand. Craig is the "under the bonnet " part of Team Newlywed which is a good job as it's not Nik's or my strong point. 

My brother came to work on the aesthetics of Olly giving the inside a thorough valet and making Olly look almost brand new on the outside. After hours working on her she looks fit for her big day, I almost didn't recognise her. You can see your reflection in her now. My brother is a genius and it's the best wedding present he could give us, his skills and talent are invaluable to us. Thank you Bean! Olly will have some more prep done over the next couple of weeks and the day before the wedding to make sure she looks her finest. She can then have all her Windy500 stickers put on and anyone who would like to sponsor a tyre, some fuel, a window wiper...............can have their company logo added too. 

Nik and I got to do something amazing when we made our own wedding rings last weekend. We thought we would only get to do a small part of the process but we did everything. Nik made my ring and I his. It was very special. Some calm amongst the chaos of wedding organising. 

Not long to go now, eek!
