** Fridays Weekly good/bad thread **

Little Madam, 24 June, 2011 at 10:11 Posted on Planning 0 29

Thank goodness the weekend is in sniffing distance!

Good luck to any brides getting married this week, and those in their last week of preparation too!

As for me:

Good - Things are really hotting up for me/us wedding wise, so lots of wedding jobs this weekend to get done.

Bad - OH is away for 2 weeks so won't be helping.

Good - Hair trial tomorrow (however, I literally have no idea what I want...)

Bad - My mother picked up my veil yesterday and states some of the crystals look pink!! Pink will not go with my red scheme, so that could be an issue

VERY bad - OH may not be able to attend our wedding rehersal and may not be able to finish work until 5pm the night before our wedding - he works 4 hours from our wedding venue/his hotel for the night...

Also very bad - In addition, OH will be away for the 2 weeks before the wedding, which are our 1st two weeks in our first home together... And I won't even be able to contact him to finalise the last miniute bits

Bad - OHs dad stated last night he doesn't want to come to OHs stag do... (OH is his only Son). To say I am gutted for him doesn't cover it.

Good - I am going to do lots of shopping this weekend to forget the bad things

Good - Also going to see my Dad, who i've not seen for over a month now.

Good - Although the bad seems bad now, I am focusing on the fact that, non of them are the end of the world, and many more people are in a much worse situation.

    I know its bloody scary. Its all coming together, but i wanted to do the table plan this week but glad i didnt as it will need tweeking if our other invitees accept. I suppose i could print the order of the day and get that out of the way, but apart from that its all looking good. Still yet to make a nail and tan appointment. How you getting on - your not that far behind missy?

    Yep sounds good to get cracking on the OotD. Will you be doing a pre/post wedding flash Vikster? Seems ages since we saw your lovely peacock things! I've drafted our table plan, but my lovely Mother wants to look over it this weekend... Could spell trouble! I've still not even decided if I want to do the tanning thing, was hoping to have grabbed a teeny bit of natural colour but thats not happened with this rain going on!

    Is it weird that when I read "Your not that far behind" that I am in complete denial and want to say - "What you talking 'bout?". I honestly can't accept that we are this close to our wedding. It's sinking in for OH and he is getting nervous/excited, but I am neither really - I can't explain it. It's like, I really want this, and have obviously planned it, but still can't accept it's real. Saying that, when I accept it i'll probably start panicing about whats left to do. ?

    Good - OH due back on Monday after 7 weeks away

    Bad - We still don't know if the army will give him any time off or just send him straight back to work

    Good - My hair trial is later today

    Bad - I ALWAYS wear my hair down and straight - have decided on up and curly but have two pages of likes and no clear idea, plus my mum has insisted on coming with me and we have very very different ideas - so could be a disaster!

    Good - Had OOS approved by the rev

    Good - Booked Nail, Hair and threading appointments for just before the wedding yesterday - opted for a luxury manicure and pedicure with geleration so quite excited!

    Good - Our pain in the ass usher has finally decided he can get the day off (despite being given 1 years notice) and is coming to the wedding!

    Bad - Two friends aren't able to make the wedding as their plane tickets from the isle of scilly would have been £850+ gutted but totally understand!

    Good - Sorted Vog - last minute decision to have one and havent spent too much - so we'll see what we get!

    Bad: Got an evening invite to a friends wedding who I haven't seen for a while (which is good) but we'd already made plans for that weekend that can't be changed so can't go which is rubbish.

    I've had a very un wedding related week this week!

    Congratulations to Mellow on your Diploma!

    Good - OH is off this weekend so we're going to go out for the day tomorrow just him and me!
    Good - It's Friday
    Bad - Massive event on in work this week and the main organiser (my boss) ended up unwell and couldn't come in to work so me and my colleague had to step up and sort the whole thing via email and phone calls with boss, and then we had to attend the event and make sure it runs smoothly.
    Good - Above Event is now over and went really well. I'm sitting in my office until half 4, but not working because i'm only waiting for my OH to finish so we can go home.
    Bad - had to cancel meeting with my friend to talk about stationary, but we're going to organise it for another time soon.

    Wishing all the brides and grooms getting married this weekend all the luck in the world and i hope you all have a fab day!

    xx

    Good: Am seeing lots of family and friends over the weekend.

    All in all a pretty good week.
