Thats about it!

Wooah! where is the time going! Stll got to

finalise the ceremony and I think I want to change on piece of music

got hair and makeup lessons this weekend

buy parents gifts

finalise tiings for stuff

and i think that is about it

finish my play list for ipod

and that is about it, apart from the beauty treatments i have booked in andactually gettin all the stuff and guests there and in one piece!!

Im feeling slightly camler now i have realised there is not that much left to do but my OH still hasnt got tie for him and BM yet grrr

I have a list of over 20 things still to do! They are mainly little niggly things though like making some name bunting - if we dont make it, no matter! Got all the big stuff done though.

Tonights decision is what to play as we all leave the ceremony. Choices so far are

a)Bedouin Soundclash - When the night
b)Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition
c)Beach Boys - Good Vibrations

Choices, choices, choices!!

Do you have a song to leave church to? We were only told to make cd of 3 songs for signing of register? Presumed just the usual wedding entrance/exit songs were played by organist who we'v had to pay for?

Doh! I havent made a cd yet either!!

We're having the traditional entrance and exit music, but different for signing the register. Dont know how it works in a church, sorry!!

I think every venue is different. We're not church going folk so no organist for us. We are having our own CD of music that will be played. So far its Muse - Feeling Good for the entrance, Elbow - One day like this for the signing of the register and just need to decide our leaving song

I always wanted a nice piece of music for church but after going to a wedding there, it sounded a bit naff as the old lady in charge was struggling with the stop start and forward buttons haha bless her. And it would make me cry which i really dont want to do (the emotional music not the old lady!) and my eyelashes would fall off ?

HAHAHA!!!!!? Top tip....dont wear fake eyelashes....cry as much as you like!! lol!

Cant you get someone who knows about these things to control the music? Like a teenage boy? If you dont have any going, pull one in from the street!?

One of my friends got married in a register office last year and the first song got stuck on repeat throughout the whole ceremony! Its things like that that make you smile when you think back on them though

True, altho id rather not risk it haha!

I get married next saturday ? just sorted out our cd for the register office all ive got left is to pay for the flowers. unforunatly my ohs gran fell and broke her hip yesterday so she wont be able to come now ☹️

Oh no thats rubbish!! Poor lady, hope she gets better quickly!

I've just thought of something else I need to do......pay for everything!

We get married 2 weeks tomorrow (16th) and i can't believe how quick its coming round now.

We're really organised, only things left to do now are: dropping things off at venues the day before (cd's, table decorations, overnight case at hotel, name place cards, etc), paying dj/disco on the night, paying for flowers on arrival on day, paying for ceremony on day, pick up suits 2 days before and then attending hair appts, nail appt, getting eyebrows waxed, having a massage, h2b is having his stag do tomorrow night (my hen night was last sat). Everything else is done and dusted now. Only just this last week paid balances & confirmed things with venues (having meal at a hotel, then evening reception with disco & buffet at a different venue), arranged music ideas/1st dance with dj, took booklet & cd into town hall for civil ceremony and such like.

Starting to feel real now, just want it to happen right now & get on with it though!!

Woo Hoo just ordered parents gifts for mum, dad and mil2b just fil2b to go now, got my BMs and bestman's should be delivered any day! right now to find a nice tankard!?!

Hehe 4 weeks today for me!!

I have absolutely nothing left to do and i am pulling my hair out trying to occupy myself... i want it to hurry up and get here!!! lol

Am getting there been and brought the boys shoes today.. just got suits to buy on tuesday and then its just getting all the things made..

am getting very nervous now..

I now have less than 2 weeks to go! I'm surprisingly on top of things though (I think anyway!!) I bought shoes this week to wear when my heels start to hurt!

Best part being that they didn't cost me anything as I had £20 vouchers to spend in House of Fraser! They are really comfortable! Tomorrow I am spraying the 'postbox' silver and have to stick the thank you for your cards plaque on to it. And, I plan to finish the table plan finally after having a guest pull out and my BILs girlfriend accepting the invite (she just had a baby 3 weeks early so was expecting to be in labour during the wedding week!) I also discovered today that my OH hadn't hired cufflinks with the suits so I'm looking out for cheap silver ones- any suggestions would be welcome! Picking my dress up on Wednesday- it doesn't fit my bust and as it has been taken in 2 sizes alredy, I have no choice but to try and create the illusion of boobs! Have to go fillet or bra shopping too!

Hope you are all very excited!!! I just hope this weather lasts out all month for us!!

3 weeks today for me!! Made table plan & post box yesterday which I am actually really pleased with lol! Have got gifts to buy, pick up cravattes we've had made & bm dress this week, mine day before wedding. Suits to collect week on Thursday. Paid balances today apart from venue & entertainment we have to pay on the day. Also need to put music onto cd, well about 3 I think I want to make sure we have spares lol! Can't believe how quick it has conme round & also praying for the weather to hold out!

Hey! Here's one of South Farm twins (24th)! I have only got 3 weeks left and still lots to organise!

Well done on your weight loss! I'm just trying to tone up my arms and upper back to avoid any lumps hanging over my strapless dress!

Still to do:

Finish off the table plan

Buy presents for parents & Best Man

get pampered(haircut, nails, pedicure)

make up trial 4 days before the wedding

3-4 trips to sunbed (I dont like fake tan and dont really agree with sunbeds, but just dont want to look too pale)

buy some holiday outfits and new bikini

All the best for the planning, not long now!!

Hello everyone, and special hellos to my venue twins Rebecca2286 and Snowboardgirl82!

So glad everyone's getting on so well, we're all on the small stuff now!

I still have to do....

Decide on seating plan

Actually make the plan/place settings

Buy presents for family and BM

Write speech

Make CDs for ceremony music and reception meal

Buy and practise with makeup

And I think that's it! Fingers crossed that the weather stays warm and spring-like through April!

Hello! I'm right at the end of April (30th) but so excited now we're in the wedding month!

We met our tog on Saturday and he was great, has even chucked in a lovely freebie - pre-wedding shoot and big framed pic for us to display at the reception for signing by guests. Yay! We're finalising details with venue this week, and just dealing with the little details - presents, table card holders etc. I'm struggling to focus on work during the day - just too excited ?

Thanks for reminding me about CD's, I have to ask my OH to get them sorted asap. I think you can use iPod for the wedding reception music too? Not sure, I better put that down as a "question".

I'm now getting worried about the trivial things! I got very annoyed few days ago when I realised that we may not see the fruit trees in blossom on our wedding day due to super early spring this year! Unfortunately there'snt much I could do about it!

I've just finished with table stationery, Rebecca and Sarah, are you doing Menu cards to display on the table?

Menu cards?!!?? Oh dear, something else to add to my list, I hadnt even thought of that!

Rebecca, I dont think they're too important. I asked SF and they said most of people dont bother with them. But then again, we went to the wedding just recently and when the main meal arrived to the table I had no idea what sort of meat I was eating until I tasted it. Maybe would be nice to know what to expect? I havent made them either but now I'm thinking that maybe I will...

Im getting married this Sat- and apart from table plan Im pretty much sorted. Just confirming and double checking everything with my suppliers and getting things boxed up to be taken to the venue before the weekend.

Good luck April brides!

Hello date twinnie!
