Lisamarie85,

I'm getting married in July 2011 as well and so far I've only booked the venue.

I'm also worried that I haven't done enough.

at least theres 2 of us in the same boat! we'll just av 2 make quick decisions! xxx

Well if this makes the last few of you feel any better, I am June 2011 and so far have booked - NOTHING!!!!!!

I was originally a 2012 bride so was very laid back about booking things and taking my time but a few weeks ago we decided to bring the wedding forward and now I think I may run out of time quickly!!!

I have a viewing at a venue on Sat which I am pretty definite will be the one we go for and I went dress shopping for the first time today and am pretty sure I found "the one" so hopefully this time next week I will feel alot more organised!!!!

?

Yeah, I've just requested a quote from a DJ to get the ball rolling!

Aw this isnt fair, everyones getting married before me!
