Anyone else a 2nd May 2015 bride?

I bought my OH a new aftershave too, a few weeks back but I'm sticking to my favourite (Angel - Thierry Mugler) I just love that scent so much

Tomorrow, we can say we're getting next week, how scary and also exciting is that!! On Saturday Mr Mac and his groomsmen are having their final fitting of their suits and whilst they are doing that I'm popping into the Travel Agents to pick up the travel tickets and to change the money.

I'm working the Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th (but only locally) on the week of the wedding and got Wednesday off to have my roots touched up, have a last blast on the sunbed and to collect my dress,

Thursday a little boring as got a hospital apt booo and

Friday morning is fully booked from 9am at the beauty salon, for waxing, eyelash extensions and nails done and then picking Mum up as we are both staying at the hotel the night before where my oldest son is also staying with his girlfriend and also one of my BM's and her partner will be there the night before too so I'm really looking forward to that.

That sounds like you are very organised.

Do you have anything planned the night before the wedding?

I am staying at my parents house with my bridesmaids. In the Argo we are going to a really nice hotel near home for cream teas and then a home cooked meal in the evening.

We had our pre wedding photo shoot today....so much fun and definitely made me feel better about being in front of the camera. Would definitely recommend.

Just got to sort out the logistics of getting everything to where it and they need to be.

are any of you setting up your venue on the day or do you have to rely on someone else?

Xxxx

The evening before I think we're just going to have a meal together, Mum, myself, Zena (BM) and her partner Barry, my oldest son Luke and his girlfriend Lena at the hotel, which I think will be nice.

Really pleased your photo shoot went well, we had ours at the final meeting we held at the venue with the TOG and VOG at the beginning of the month, which I agree, I'm pleased we had it done.

I'm taking all the bits to the hotel on the Thursday afternoon and the chair cover people are going in on the Friday morning, we've only got to do a very small amount which we'll probably do on the Friday evening such as just placing out the wishing tree/card post box so very minimal stuff to do as the hotel will do the rest such as putting out the place settings/table arrangements etc

Eskimo, I hope you don't mind but may I be the first one to start your Good Luck thread?... xx

12 days!! Woohhhoooooo!!

I don't have much to dooooo and its driving me up the wall as work is quiet too!

I feel very calm, which is also unnerving as I feel like I should be doing something or making something.. it's that horrible feeling of.. have I forgotten something!?

I'm on countdown to finishing work for 14 days.. Next Tuesday is my last day! Yay!

Hey Lorns

We're going to florists this evening to take the vases for the table arrangements, work was meant to be quiet this week but I've just had a call and it looks like I'm going to be in Central London tomorrow now....

but, like you Tuesday next week is my last day at work too and I can't wait..

??? how is it only 12 days?! I honestly can't believe it. It still Doesn't feel real and I don't think it will until next week. My last evening is next Wednesday and then it will be here before I know it!

i am off to the church tonight as the organ has broken and I have to go listen to other options. Hoping it means I'll get a £60 deduction in cost for the organist that can't be used. Grrrr...

i still have to sort out a card box and need to ask the church tonight if confetti can be used. But late in the day but I've decided I simply must have a confetti shot and I have the perfect basket to keep it in!

Anyone else worried that this gorgeous weather will last right up until the 1st May and then it'll rain?!

Oh Jayla, I'm checking the damn weather charts every day, I'm having dreams about the weather lol

I was listening to Radio 2, as normal, this morning and the weather came on saying that next week its making a turn for worse... Nooooooo

Hi Ladies

MrsMac2be - thank you I would love a good luck thread. thank you for thinking of me. i hope your work isnt too busy and you get to chill and just think 'wedding' i am looking forward to the week off before in preparation. got a few things planned but H2B is likely to have to be at work right up to the wedding which is a bit rubbish.

good luck to you also. your day/evening before soudns lovely. i am not able to set up our venue the day before because there is another wedding and my mum and bridesmaids wont let me do it in the morning so I am having to hand them the reins. which for anyone who knows me is pretty hard for me to do. but i am feeling pretty chilled about the whole thing at the moment but i do keeping having that feeling taht i forgotten something just like you Lorns.

Jayla - lets all keep our fingers and toes crossed for good weather i havent planned for rain at all and will be absolutely rubbish if it does rain as we are planning an outside wedding. maybe i should think about what to do if it does rain

have any of you brought umbrellas or jackets for if it does?

Just printing out my table plan last bit of DIY dont know what i am going to do with myself after the wedding

take care brides

xxxx

Fingers, toes, everything crossed!

Most of our day will be spent inside, but I really, really want photos outside (I can't think of anywhere we could have them inside either) so am just hoping it's not torrential all day. Our photographer brings wet weather bits - I assume nice big umbrellas. I've seen some fab shots in the rain actually, but my hair! Arggghhh!

I don't think I'd be so annoyed if it was rubbish weather right now, but I feel like every bit of sun is being wasted! Nothing we can do though.

Jayla - I am exactly the same! I am looking out today at a cloudless sky thinking... erm, can't this be saved for 2nd May please!??

Its going ring to rain ALL day! ???

Yep, mine says that too and we're in Lincolnshire... So I guess the whole country will be awash with wet brides... Not happy

I'm absolutely gutted ? I just hope that we can get out for some nice photos at some point. Stupidly I've had images of my new husband and our two children frolocking in the sun in all our photos. Who was I kidding?!

They always get the forecast wrong though

keep everything crossed....it can rain right up till Friday as long as it's dry for our weddings xxx

Maybe until thursday so I can stay dry too?!! Argh i said i know i cant control the weather so im not gona get stressed - and now I am!!

I'm exactly the same KLP! Never been worried and now all this blooming sunshine I keep thinking 'what a gorgeous day for a wedding!'

Enough of this doom and gloom! 10 days to go ladies - what do we have left to do?

im desperately in search of somewhere to clean my disgusting engagement ring as Ernest Jones have had a refit and can no longer do it unless I pay £40!!! I've got to buy more ribbon for the favours, socks for the flower girls, still sort out a card box, paint my signing board (when it arrives), fill the favours and I think that's about it except my preening!

I supopse we shouldnt be moping about something we can't do anything about!

I have the favours to fill, order a birthday cake for a little guest who is two on the day, and then other than hair and nails next week, OH and I are collecting our rings next wednesday, buying a perfume and aftershave for the day and then that's it really

It's a bit weird not having loads to do..but I much prefer that!

Exactly. We ant change the weather.

i still have all my beautifying to do

favour to make

cake for the bake off

pay for venue and food

practice table set up

pick up dress and hoop and suits

Take my pets to mums

Errrrrrr think that's it. Omg it's so really now girls x

So, we're in single figures now ladies.... 9 DAYS TO GO.... x

Woop woop!

Had our first wedding gift sent in the internal post at work today! Very sweet and exciting, I said to her I wont open it until Im a Mrs Eeeeek!

Oh my gosh single figures it's so exciting but I'm feeling quiet nervous tooooo. Ekkkkk

we also have a present and a couple of cards sitting waiting to be opened. It is so exciting.

just booked cream tea to have with my parents and maids on the Friday

still feel I've forgotten something....anyone feel the same?

X

Eskimo329, No reading your Good Luck Thread early Miss, otherwise you'll get spots on your wedding day lol x

and no, you probably haven't forgotten anything as if you're anything like me you're feeling like this as you don't like being out of control as its all out of our hands now... we've all done the best we can and its down to the suppliers now to make our dreams and plans come true.... gulp... lol x

That is exactly it = i hate relying on other people and we still havent paid for the venue or catering which makes me nervous. do you have lists for your lists?

one more day of work then i can truly focus on the last bits

x

Hahah... I have just printed out 2 To Do Lists and taped one to the back door so we read it every time we go out and the other one in the loo... there's just no getting away from my lists, how sad am I?! x

Not sad at all.

I have many lists and checklists and time lines......maybe too organised. My h2b is the complete opposite of me lol they do say opposites attract.

Whats left on your list?

xx

6 days!!! I've woken up this morning feeling quite nervous that that's basically it now. No more weekends and this week is going to fly by! Few bits to do today and then it should just be about pampering and deliveries. Eeeeek!

I know.... eek!

I'm at work tomorrow and Tuesday and I think those 2 days will fly by, hopefully...

Nothing more to do here other than wait, my To Do lists are very minimal and mainly for the men on the wedding day such as don't forget rings, don't forget to collect buttonholes at the hotel as the flowers are being delivered to me there etc etc..

I've got lots of lists to do of what needs to be where too. Plus four people to pack for at some point!

Just 5 more sleeps ladies.......

getting so excited now but keep running through the day in my head

still feel like I've forgotten something.......

im off out for lunch with my friend now to chill out a bit.

Tomorrows plan is to pick up my dress and take it mums and then make the favours :-)

has anyone seen the wether forecast? My neighbour said Saturday is meant to be ok

fingers crossed xxxxxx

Just checking weather now for Lincolnshire... and....

Accuweather - Considerable Cloudiness and 12c ( no rain)

BBC Weather - Light Cloud and 11c (no rain)

I can live with that... x

I'm in Southampton and it depends which forecast I look at. Either rain all day or cloudy with some sun! I can live with cloudy, it's the rain I hope stays away.

h2b has just bought me my perfume. I don't wear it normally, but I wanted something to remind me of the day - it is lush! Just bought him his card too. So exciting!

Am washing and ironing shirts today so oh can take them to his mums tomorrow where they're getting ready. I've also just emailed all of the suppliers to check we are all on the same page about what's happening and when and picked up a beautiful blue garter that I am borrowing from a friend.

ive been worried for months that my dress would be too small but I can't eat a thing so now I'm hoping it won't be too big!

I've just checked and kent is also going to be cloudy mrsmac2b.....that will be fine. Just hoping its dry.

We are planning to get married outside so I hope it's ok. Hope my guests don't get cold either.

Have any of you brought jackets or umbrellas just in case?

Ive had a productive wedding related day. Finally paid for the venue today and I started the favours.

I'm making chocolate hearts....going to keep them in an airtight box in the fridge until later in the week when I put them in bags with twine. Do you think they will last ok?

picking up my dress tomorrow eeeeeeee!!!
