December Brides how are we doing???

VikingPrincess, 24 November, 2011 at 19:38 Posted on Planning 0 19

Hi all!

When did this happen??? I recall posting not so long ago that I was jealous of other brides whose time had come, and I just realised...I am getting married in 28 days!!! OMG!

I am starting to get nervous...

A week tomorrow it's my surprise Hen Do - still not the slightest inkling what we are doing or where are we going from the meeting point! The bridesmaids have asked me to turn up at 1:15pm at a ceratin restaurant in town but the indications are that we may not neccesarily spend all the time there and that we will return home very late (one of the BMs is getting her partner to take me home first when he picks her up). I am sooo curious! It's the first time in my whole life when I REALLY don't know what is going on. As a kid I always used to find my presents early, find out all surprises etc. This time everyone's been so tight-lipped not even my SIL2B, who apparently can't keep a secret to save her life, hasn't managed to slip up at all!

Three weeks today my Mum arrives from Romania for the wedding - she hasn't been to England since 2006 and we have not seen each other since 2008 when I last went to Romania - we do speak on MSN on webcam though nearly daily. Can't wait!!! She'll be giving me away.

And finally, four weeks tomorrow - I will be a MRS!!! So looking forward to it!!!

How are my twinnies and fellow December brides doing???

    Hi beanbump!

    Well, we wanted it wintery but not Christmassy as we thought people would have enough of Xmas for the following days LOL, as we're getting married on the Friday before Xmas (23rd).

    I have posted some time ago a thread with all the moodboards but here they are again - our wedding theme is Narnia meets Winter Woodland, with Table Names from Narnia (Narnia is Top Table, then Aslan, Pevensie and Cair Paravel):

    I know, feels the same here! A bit nervous as we're missing a small chunk of money we need for final payments... Otherwise just like you say, can't believe next week is December either and that a week tomorrow I'll be on my hen do!

    Not long for us now twinnie!!

    All our final payments are starting to fall due which is exciting and expensive at the same time!

    I keep looking out of the window at the time we will be leaving the church and thinking about how much light there is for photos lol!

    OH is on his stag do this weekend so am finishing off our mini stocking favours and home made table plan...apart from that, all done!

    Where did the year go, eh?

    Nope! Not long at all!

    Same here and I am panicking as we're coming out £600-odd short as OH lost his job earlier in the year and not managed to get anything else since so the money we were saving from his wage towards the wedding is missing!

    My Oh and I have our Stag and Hen do on same weekend - next one - 3rd Dec!

    With 4 weeks to go we have had MORE bad news from the venue but hoping it will sort out in the end... rather stressed right now as that is not what I needed on my plate right now:

    - waiting for 29 Nov app to find out results of biopsy taken at the beginning of Nov during a hysteroscopy

    - waiting to hear about work sorting out mess with my new position (the Project I was a Communications Manager on has now finished and the good news is everyone still has a job - we've been placed in other project roles but they made a mess with mine, placing me in a role that would mean 5 hrs travel each day and due to my workplace adjustments to do with diabetes and post-op with my shoulder etc, i can't do that)

    - waiting to hear from venue who have first extended their Xmas festival forgetting about our wedding and the fact that it was sold to us on exclusive use of the venue - they then offered us an upgrade as redress and now it looks like they sold us the bird on the fence as the redecorating of the ceremony room they offered us as redress may not be finished in time for the wedding and we've already gone and paid and given notice again when they advised us of the upgrade (as it's a different room so different licensed venue in the eyes of the Registrar)!!! Meeting with them next Tuesday!

    Hi, fairyland!

    They were done by our very own HIB (Hitcher In Business) Natalie Roderick aka Inspire Me Designs. She is brilliant. I told her I wanted to incorporate a photograph my hubby to be took (he's a nature photographer) into the design and this is the design we chose after she did lots others for us to choose from. She can't be beaten for price either!!! I have emailed her with a link to your post! If you like exactly that design, my hubby has given Nat copyright permission to use it in her designs so...feel free!!! ? xxx
