2016 brides how crazily real does it all feel!

Our invitations are being delivered on Friday, it makes it seem a lot more real doesn't it? I'm so excited to send them out!

We're also planning to order the suits and look for rings next week then that's all of the big things sorted.

My wedding is in 9 days, but it doesn't seem real to me! It's come round so fast now Christmas is out the way. Everything is pretty much done, I just have to concentrate on eating healthily as my dress was a little snug. My dad and sister arrive from California on Saturday. Eek!

I go from thinking, "Oh it's still ages away" to "omg I have so much to do and this is overwhelming"

Really real especially as H2B is now more excited and involved. I think it's hit him too.

6 got just under 7 months. aaaaaaaaaages yet hahaha

Oh my god it feels so real, it's so odd even though it's still 5 months or only 5 months when I'm stressed! Haha! Sent invites this week and already starting to get RSVPs which is soooo exciting!

Think we are ordering the suits this weekend, and going to look at rings sometime in Jan as well!!! Am feeling quite organised but also scared at the same time!! Haha!!

I'm getting married on Saturday - it feels very real!!! xx

Didn't feel real to me till I got to the Ice chapel. One down.... The rest of you to go! Xxx

Scarily real. Like, insanely real. Like, oh my fudging *** real.

I know exactly what you mean, i love not having to end "next year" on our wedding date when people ask - small things ey?

Going to meet the vicar on the 19th and the suit company have said we can go in and choose the suits soon - eeeek!

I thought i was doing ok until OH said we need to order the invitation pretty soon. i know if he says we need to do it then it needs doing lol

on another note....

MY DRESS ARRIVED TODAY

We get married 11 weeks today and I think that nearly every weekend until the wedding we have a meeting with a supplier or something wedding related like hen/stag do's to fill our calendar!

This weekend we have to fill in our ceremony choices and actually find music that we want which has been the hardest part so far!

We have 8 weeks to go and we're pretty much done!

Off to a wedding fair at our venue next weekend so we can have a peek at the bedroom we'll be staying in and the week after we will be there again to finalise all the details and pay our balance.

Just a shirt for H2B to wear and menu choices to coordinate but with only 19 guests that should be simple!

Crazily real! I'm much later in the year but still seems so much closer saying this year. I have spent the first week of the year on a real high! We've confirmed make up artist, videographer, invitations and bought lots of bits and pieces in our excitement!

Im starting to think it all wont get done. I know full well it will, just freaking out. Plus suppliers are taking ages coming back to us on stuff, but I guess they are just not worried as they deal with it all the time, I just expect an instant response, ha, joys of modern technology hey

9 weeks today! Scary and exciting times. Met with registrar this week and booked our night before honeymoon hotel. Sent out lots of emails for final meetings. Flowers should arrive next week can't wait to see our brooch bouquets. The boys get fitted for kilts on Sunday and we are almost done with rsvps! It's all so real now. Best of luck to the other gorgeous up and coming brides xxx

Snap we just did the ceremony and the music - the latter was so much harder that I thought it would be but makes it VERY real.

5 weeks tomorrow!

I know, its so scary! Mines not until October so most of the time I think 'it's ages away!' But then I think that next time Christmas comes around, we'll be married! Eek!

Even just saying We are getting married This Year is terrifying. We have a meeting with our venue next week to organise the catering etc as its all done in house. OH has told me numerous times that he's wearing the suits from Dumb and Dumber... It could be an interesting day!

It's so exciting counting down the days!! I'm not until October but we're so busy this year, that time will fly by!

Lots of things booked and it's all getting very exciting.

I am going mad trying to decide on stationery....I've been a stationery designer for nearly 10 years, but all of a sudden, it's REALLY hard when it's my own I'm designing!

Really enjoying reading everyone's plans on here xx

Millie&me I feel your pain, I make cakes, not professionally but I've done quite a few weddings now and I can't settle on a final design for our cake!

Yes, it's so scary! I spent the first few days of 2016 freaking out that I'll be signing off this year as a Mrs!

We're really organised so far so I'm not worried, but it feels so much more real!

Very real! But exciting. Especially having spent all evening on here!

Keep feeling like there's loads to do but also nothing to do... if that makes sense?

Also keep worrying that I will forget loads of things, or that we won't have any nice little details on the day. ?

Good luck to everyone coming up soon! I've been back a week now and it feels like my wedding was ages ago. Just been doing mums photo books. ?

We sat down yesterday and were really productive. Revisited the budget (beans on toast for the next five months!), Finalised the guest list and completed our wedding website. Feel a lot happier now that's done.

Will be putting names on invites and sending them out this week. Going to contact most of the suppliers in the coming week to check we're all still on track.

It's 160 days until our wedding, oh my god, that sounds so close now, considering it was over a year ago we started planning properly.

75 days to go for me! Scary stuff the cheque has gone to the registrars I need to pay off all my suppliers first proper fitting is on the 10th feb hair trial on the 7th feb (friend is the hairdresser so will be using her) doing sum after sum to make sure it all adds up! Had a horrific day on Friday thought I wouldnt have my dad to walk me down the aisle because of it (getting sorted but will hang over the family for months!) only 3lbs to my goal weight before the 10th feb. All I still need to buy is bridesmaids earrings and hair accessories but since I don't know how their hair will be I don't know what to buy!

I may be being stupid here but I have seen a couple of mentions of meeting with the registrar - is this is normal thing in the run-up? I was thinking that you don't meet them until the actual day?

Hi Goujon - I think it depends on where you are in the country. We're in Bournemouth, Dorset and met with registrar in November (wedding is in April) to go through some stuff and we'll then have a telephone consultation with them in the week before the wedding to finalise details.

I have; however, seen some brides on here who don't see or speak to their registrar until the day and only hand in a form with their choices in the lead up.

Feels extremely real indeed and very scary all at the same time.

Have already had a major panic for the beginning of 26 in that our photographer has cancelled on us. She has been booked for over a year!! she has suggested someone else so now have to meet with them, meeting with vicar tonight and venue on Friday. All feels like I have to start over again and when composing a TO DO list on Saturday it sure feels like it will never be complete on time.

But how exciting for us ALL - we get married this year !! have been wanting to say that ever since I got engaged! xx

Thanks - I was thinking that I'd missed something but it might just be the way they do it in my area! We have to complete an online form so I guess that's going to cover most of it - who knows if they then arrange something else based on that or whether that's the extent of it, I guess I'll find out soon!
