We have a meeting with the vicar on 31st jan which I am looking forward to, starting to finalise some plans for the service I hope.

It sounds like we are all doing pretty well! Klewin - I'm sure you won't have any problems in getting everything all together in time.

I always feel like I am forgetting something because I'm not having bridesmaids, wedding cars or a DJ. This is everything I have got done:

My wedding ring

Decide on catering (nearer the time)

I'm still sure I am missing something really important!!

Figure out the gift list

Erm.......what else?? Probably a million things haha ?

Not sure what i have left to do or what i have done.... need to get the list out an have another look....

can you tell i'm bored of wedding planning now!

Looking forward to going to midnight mass at the church we are going to get married in as it will be the first service that we go to!!!

I have sorted quite a bit but really need to sort out flowers and bridesmaid dresses!! Been to see 3 florists 2 of which have never got back to me unfortuantely!!

Hi Im 28th!! Im slightly panicked as I just read an email saying the bridal shop has been taken over and under new management!!? Ive paid for half of my dress and its due in in may. I think the new management might be the seamstress Ive been working with -hope so anyway! My STD went out and I felt nervous too!! I think it makes it so much more real!! Ive got to start printing out my invites but I cant seem to get my printer to print to the edge so need to mess around with the margins and get that sorted. Everything else is pretty much all under control! ?

There isn't a great deal I can do at the moment so just hanging on. My guest book and the photo sticker printer I ordered arrived a few days ago ? If the snow isn't too bad on Tuesday off to look at brdiesmaids dresses and tiaras and my dress will be ready when I get back to Kuwait after Xmas (hopefully) and that's about it until Feb/March when hopefully I'll be in Tanzania and can get more done.

Im 28th aug and think im far too organized!! i did my table plans the other day cos i was bored!! i have last minute things like cake (marks!!!) but really the only things i can sort now but havent are my shoes, a few more bits for the tables and rings.

i do have a 4 year old and 10 month old so i do have to be organized!!

I'm the 11th... I have 117 things still to do on my to do list but most of the major things are done. Just what feels like a million ideas to put into practice... I sent my save the dates in August but still haven't decided on my stationary... I thought about doing it myself but when I started to add up the cost of what I wanted to do I don't think I was saving much moneywise. I've got some time booked in with Prettywild in Feb to look at invitations, I really love her stuff. I've finally sent my banns form off to the church today so hopefully we'll get that sorted soon and we can meet with the church I'm worried that they might not let us have the hymns we want...

Ooh and I just got a phonecall to say my dress is in!!!!!!

phoenix, this list sounds really long and in detail...where did you get it...its just what i need!!! because although i may be miss organised you can guarantee ill forget something major, like my jewellrey or something!!!

We haven't filled out much church paperwork as yet, our vicar appears to be a little bit more relaxed than I am, which is stressing me out in itself. ?

Have a meeting on 27th to attend marriage prep classes (which H2b can't make), so hopefully might start getting the ceremony side of things moving then.

It's based on a few lists that have come up on here, my own to do list and a lot was taken from Kayl's list she posted about on one of the other August Updates I believe... it sounds like a lot but it's helped me loads as I'm sure I wont forget anything and my head feels slightly less crammed since I sorted it out!

We haven't met our vicar yet just had a phonecall from a lady in the parish office, she sent out the banns forms. Marriage prep classes? interesting... I guess we'll be doing something similar we have to spend a day with someone at the church so I guess they get it all over with in one day.... don't really know what to expect... I would imagine that after 7+ years if we're not prepared we probably never will be! ?
