Next: Dress!!!! going in Jan when I should have hopefully lost 2 stone by then, BM dresses, Invitations, mens suits

Decided on, Favors, music for first dance etc, centre pieces and cake.

I think ive got it mostly under control!!!

I've just bought myself a nice hair clip from Tescos to help give me a half up do. Now I will have fun playing about with my hair! ?

I got scared last night, seeing the tickers of those I know who are getting married the month after me - seeing theirs at 11 months something gave me a fright - and I started panicking that I still had loads to do - and then I had a scary wedding dream last night!!

Hi Zippy oh no hope the dream wasnt too scary .......i to had yet ANOTHER scary dream thats 2 nights in a row now.. what is going on!!!

honeymoon? How about Rhys junior - what's he wearing?

Tobes will be wearing the 7 year old version of whatever Rhys chooses, so probably a dark brown suite with an ivory waiscoat and gold cravat

It is under 11months for me

Well done all of you I am ery impressed by your organisation.

However I am now running round like a headless chicken as I am no where near as organised as any of you wll some one please plan my wedding for me?

You will start getting motivated and organised as soon as your ticker starts saying 11 months and something ?

Ha ha that is probably true. I think it will be easier to plan once I have a dress but I am the worst dress shopper ever seriously I think I might be giving Shoegal a run for her money!.

Hmm 11 months will give me the fear but I need to do my save the dates we are having a friday wedding. hmm if I stick my fingers in my ears ahndsing loudl maybe a fairy will appear and do them.
