26th May 2012

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

12th May bride here hopping on the back!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! ?

Floowwww!! do you want it to be longer?!!

Mellow Yellow

nooo, its just getting closer and closer...it was only 5mins ago i was saying its a year to go!!

Yaaaaaaaaay!

I think for me once christmas is here and gone it'll seem more real, I still haven't quite clicked I'm getting married yet! Probably because I have nothing else to do now until January, so just waiting around for some more action lol.

Flow I agree, can't believe when we booked the venue we had 22 months to go, I do not know where the time goes, it scares me even though i want it to hurry up, i want time to slow down after!

Haylee I know what you mean, as soon as January arrives we will be sending our invites (end of) once that's done I know it will be here in no time!!

Then there's the hen do to look forward to, whoppeeee!

Me Me Me.... I'm also the 26th May, 234 more sleeps!!!

So sick of waiting now, I just want it to be here and be a Mrs, only been planning since beginning of the year but I'm far to impatient.

Are you pretty sorted with everything!?!?

I'm the day before you!! Eek!!!! It will soon be here!!

this is me exactly....its christmas in 80sleeps so concentrating on that lol

Time will soon pass by! It will soon be on your doorstep ?

Far2calmbride....loll i havent worked out sleeps, haaa!

yeh pretty much sorted, it's just the smaller things to sort now, what about u?

I must have far to much time on my hands!!!

All the big things are sorted, church, marquee, caters, my dress, honeymoon, band & disco... just ordered BM dresses on Friday. Next things on my list is invitations and the mens suits. Planning on making my own invitations so that could be interesting! ha ha ha

228 sleeps now!!! ha

Does that mean 221 sleeps for me?!

I tried on my dress on Friday. It is even more beautiful than I remember, and I really didn't want to take it off. My CBM was visiting, so I showed her the venue and we were really wishing the time away. Now she's gone back home I'm getting all scared again. Not long till we're saying 6 months and X weeks...

Less than 7 months now ladies!! EEEEK, can't wait

8 mths??? More like 6??? lol. Our venue do a complimentary overnight stay and menu tasting which we did on Fri night. Had a fab time and even better when you check out and they say "there is nothing to pay" ?

haha this was posted in september!

We got a letter thru last week asking us to come and do a menu tasting and general all round meet up in december, squuuuuuuuuuue!!

I'm also the 26th May!!! So exciting. It will be here in no time! I met with my venue last week and we went through everything (timing, drinks etc) and then i picked my dress up at the weekend! Its at my parents but everytime i go there i HAVE to have a sneaky peek!!!

OMG, going tooo fast!!

We have our menu tasting booked in for end of the month - no free night tho that's nice of them!!

Also my first dress fitting in December - can't wait for that, l ordered it in February and haven't tried it since so i feel like i NEED to see it again now!

Also Looking at ordering our favours & table name holders v soon, maaan once Christmas is over it will be all go ?

What's everyone doing for favours, i can't make my mind up...was going to have miniatures but can't afford to think about each individual taste, was thinkin of just getting baileys or baileys and one other then people can swap if they like?

any thoughts appreciated

Hello. We are have lottery tickets or scratch cards. They will be in envelopes with our guests names on to double up as name cards

Baileys sounds lovely. We have a chocolate fountain but the people who are doing it also have a Baileys fountain complete with chocolate cups, how yummy does that sound?!??!

aww that's a good idea, we did consider this but thought imagine if one of our guests won big money...great and all but not sure if i could cope with that, haaa!

I love baileys but not everyone's taste it....can't please everyone i suppose

We are growing chilli plants to act as place cards and give as favours. Feel a bit of an idiot as still haven't decided what flowers to have. We want cheap, local, fresh and traditional. OH doesn't want pink, blue or 'gaudy' colours, I don't want yellow but do want some colour.

I haven't been on here for quite a while and reading through this has made me stomach flip a few times - with nerves and excitement I think! I only got engaged in June and am getting married on May 19th, so it has all gone so quickly!! Is anybody else getting married on the 19th? xx

It goes so quick girls believe me! it feels only yesterday when i started my planning nearly a year ago! its shocking.

What colour are the BMS wearing?? Will the chilli plants have chillis on?? How about red or orange flowers to go with the chillis???

Time certainly is flying by! When we got engaged we had 22months! I'm trying to sort out jewllery now. I got my tiara this week

Hey, I've been in hiding for a few weeks, had some things to suss out...all wedding related! Thought it was time to see how it's all going for you girls.

As a friend is making my cakes, I've just purchased my cake stand...shocked at how pricey they are but hopefully I can see on ebay after the big day! I've spent months worrying over my wedding favours and decided I would make jam & chutney's but I've decided now that I just don't think I can master it and I'll fill the jars I've purchased with some retro sweets and maybe a sweetie stand for the evening guests. I'm crap at making decisions and will probably change my mind again. Invitations arrived last week from vista print (very impressed) so once January comes I shall be posting them out. I think, but I can't be sure I'm pretty organised lol. Have to get my boys there suits but may possibly wait a few months in case they have a growth spurt!

You??

I think it's normal.If i were you .i will very very excited .

Haylee- where are you getting your boys suits from?? My boys will be 5 and 22month.

I've just had my sparkling wine delivered from tescos. I now have all my white,rose and sparkling. It was on offer. Martini Asti £3.50pb! I also got clubcard points AND cashback!!!! And its to go in our passionfruit mimosas for our welcome drinks

Whats everyone else having???

Honeybee - Boys suits I'm unsure about, possibly Next/Marks and Spencer or even ebay...need to look more into it really. Think It depends what they have in at the time of the wedding and if they will go with the colour scheme. I have a 10yr old and a 18 month old and don't fancy buying them now for them to grow. Maybe hit the sales!

I haven't got to worry about purchasing wine, all in thank god. I'm struggling with my wedding favours at the moment. Don't want them to look cheap but I have to watch how much per person!

I really wanted H2B and the boys to have matching suits but i think i'll just have to settle with the boys being matching. H2B would like to wear a tailcoat and they have some for small children in BHS so might have to get them one too!

We partly chose our venue because we could have our own wine, caterers etc and we are very lucky that we don't get charged corkage so it works out so much cheaper plus we have the exact wine that we (I, h2b is a beer drinker!) want. Where abouts in the country are you?? I'm in North Essex

I'm in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Don't think I've seen any other hitchers from these parts...well not yet anyway!

Think I'd prefer our venue to be like that as Wine is super expensive but suppose I'll only get married once ?
