Firstly many congratulation and best wishes to all the B2Bs and their OHs getting married this weekend. I am not a new hitcher but I suppose I've not been an active one, posting only a couple of times and that has been a while ago. Partly this is because my OH is a regular hitcher and so my comments...

Firstly many congratulation and best wishes to all the B2Bs and their OHs getting married this weekend.

I am not a new hitcher but I suppose I've not been an active one, posting only a couple of times and that has been a while ago. Partly this is because my OH is a regular hitcher and so my comments often reflect his or the other excuse I have is that I have a very busy full on job which takes up every moment of my working day and sometimes evenings too! My OH said to me that with forums you get out of it what you put in and I know that is the case with Hitched. It seems to be a huge network of people in a similar situation - bouncing ideas, thoughts and concerns off of one another and although I'm not convinced that I will have time over the next 8 weeks to get heavily involved in posting, my thoughts are with you all and my view may get posted via my OH discussing with me what is going on in the world of Hitched.

I have over the last week got more and more involved with reading posts on here albeit while my other half has been signed in, but don't worry I have not posted in his name lol! I have loved seeing the wedding reports and looking at the flashes of wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses. I am not in a position to post any pictures of my own bits and pieces as I do not want OH to see anything before the big day, much to his frustration.

I cannot believe that in 8 weeks time I will be walking down the 'aisle' in our hotel towards my new life as his wife and the scary thing is that I'm sure it was only yesterday that we had another 20 days added to that countdown timer - where does the time go? I am also hoping that in 8 weeks time I am not still awake at 4.45 and I manage to get more than 2 hours sleep, my excuse to this is that OH has given me his manflu but as he put it about 2 hours ago when he realised I wasn't in bed is that you have just a cold! Typical, eh?

You will have seen that my OH and I have had a productive few days making favours while "enjoying" perhaps that should be "subjected to" some rather soggy holiday weather on the south coast. I think the next big things that we/I have left to do is the table decorations which my younger sister is helping me with and dress fittings with my bridesmaids which I must set up with the shop in the next week or so!

I have my hen night next Friday and I know my OH is really apprehensive about it and I have assured him that all will be well but he is a worrier and no amount of me telling him it will be ok will put his mind at rest, until I text him to say "I'm home and safe and now you can sleep, my darling!"

Oh well I suppose that as the sun will be rising shortly I really ought to try and get some sleep!

Just in case this is my last post before the big day, good luck to all of you that are getting married between now and the 17th September and I look forward to reading your reports!

    Oh that's good! I thought from what AJ was saying, he was doing it all on his own...

    I already posted that there would be people helping me, but ultimately I need to make sure everything is perfect and gets done in time.

    So the situation really isn't as bad as AJ was making out then...

    And I am sure that the venue can find you a room a little nicer than the disabled toilet for you to get changed.
