Confessions of a Hitcher...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE FUSS ABOUT: Table names. Why can you not just have numbers? Likewise chair covers. Why?

I SECRETLY HATE: (I'm going to be flayed alive for this!) The fact that most wedding dresses look the same. Strapless a-line numbers. Don't get me wrong - they look beautiful on everyone, but I just wish that more people had dresses which were not all the same!

I SECRETLY LOVE: The fact that for one day people will tell me I look beautiful even if they don't mean it!

Lol, I cannot believe this thread had been bounced. Its so great to read through again

?

I did contemplate bringing back the biscuit thread too ?

Right, off to make a coffee and then going to read through it all again, only had time to bounce last night.

Couldn't agree more!

I DONT UNDERSTAND THE FUSS ABOUT : chair covers and everything having to match exactly ?!?!?

I SECRETLY HATE having to invite people I dont like or see very often - because they are family etc etc oh and how if you mention the 'W' word business add 10% extra rarhhhhhhh

I SECRETLY LOVE looking at peoples wedding photos and reading wedding reports and imaging how my day will look :-) awwwwww

I don't understand the fuss about: Centerpieces, pedestals or pew ends. We're having them but they don't get me excited. Having a magician or characturist at weddings, don't understand that one at all.

I secretly hate: the silly little worries that pop into my head - What if people are bored at our wedding? What if I look rubbish in my dress? What if the people we really want to come can't make it? Parents being a bit disinterested in wedding. Also wouldn't say hate but really really dislike h2b's Mum and Sister - how such a gorgeous clever SANE man ever came out of that family is nothing short of a mystery.

I secretly love: my dress being really feminine as I usually live in jeans, looking forward to being a Mrs and never having that "why haven't I found love?" moment again.

I can't believe i missed this one first time round. the trouble is I'm now lookign at it from a cynical married point of view!

I don't understand the fuss about: having to have a fruit cake as well as the gorgeous choccy cheese cake we had as our wedding cake. My mum insisted she make a "proper" cake for everyone in the evening

I secretly hate: The politics. I was lucky, our parents were both very good at trying not to have any politics involved, but I've read some real horror stories on Hitched. We always worry to much about what everyone else thinks rather than keepign ourselves happy.

Oh and I hate the fact that my big day is over. I want to do it all again (same bloke obvioulsy)

I secretly love: Weddings in general, I can't keep away from this place now I'm married. I love to hear everyones plans, see their pics and enjoy everyone else's excitiment.

**** Please bear in mind that I've only had 4 hours sleep after work Xmas party if the tone of this reply is a little....grumpy****

I don't understand the fuss about specifically-designed for weddings-shoes, mostly they seem to be bloody ugly. I want nice sparkly sandals

I secretly hate feeling like I should be making everything myself. Sorry but bollocks to that, organising the wedding is hard enough without fiddling around with glue and ribbons. I am not creative AT ALL but fair play to you talented ladies who have lovely stationery. I also massively hate the fact as soon as you mention the word wedding, everything jumps in price by about 1000%. Why is this? Oh and just all the tacky stuff you can have at weddings - bits of diamonte in flowers, ribbons, horse shoes, table glitter, fluffy pink crap, NOT ALL GIRLS WANT PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *breathes deeply*

I secretly love planning a fab party for everyone I love. Telling my OH how much I love him. Getting to wear a really nice dress. Making my BMs feel and look stunning.

You wont be wanting Laura_Lee's unwanted fluffy pink jewellery box for Christmas then? ?

Its so funny to read this again! I stand by everything I said tho!! Specially on the diet thing!!!!

edited to say, having seen Melancholies before and after pix on another post, it is impressive what can be achieved, and seeing as I'm probably 2 stone heavier than i was when I got wed, I'm going to get some tips off her about what class to join!!! : )

No Zippy, oddly enough that's not something I've been looking for. ?

It is funny reading this though
