Little Weekend Links 26

We’ve made it to the five week countdown to the wedding which means it’s been another busy week. Our to do list seems to be growing every time it shrinks as we think of new things to add. There have been plenty of meetings, but I also made time to join Lucy on Tuesday night to see “All My Sons” at the Open Air Theatre in Regents Park where Danny’s working on sound this Summer. It was chilly but lovely to sit outside surrounded by trees and luckily, we avoided rain as well. I’m very excited for tomorrow as we’ve been given a fabulous early wedding pressie from a luxury gift company called TRULY, but more on that one next week with photos of course. Also, thrilled to have another bank holiday weekend even if the forecast doesn’t look so promising!

What are you up to this bank holiday weekend? Anyone have any exciting plans?
