Geordiebarbie, Bethanw, end of May brides

Can I join in as a mid-may bride? Can't believe it's the last week now!

Had a minor drama today, the flower girl cant walk in her shoes, which is what I said in the shop but she wanted them and her mum said they were fine. So the suggestion was made that I take her shopping tomorrow (I'm having my eyebrows done in the morning, gotta collect my new contact lenses, have an appointment for a facial at 1 and have to change some clothes I bought for the honeymoon that were on the wrong hanger!!), luckily her grandma has seen some today so I've sorted that with a 'buy them and Ill sort the money etc later!'

It's amazing how efficient you get with this wedding planning. Other than that I have to get my stereo to the church and wire it into their sound system as theirs is so old it wont play CD-Rs!!

Then that's it ? Rehearsal is booked for next Thursday after work, we're decorating the church and hotel on Friday, having my nails done Friday night then it will be the wedding day!!! ?

Aaaaaaaarggghhhhh!! I've just typed a massive response and lost it!! ☹️

I'll report back another time.

Quick update - off to Bristol tonight for some final meetings tomorrow! ?

I'm feeling pretty stressed, not because there is necessarily so much to do, but more what if I forget to do something!

My diary is my life at the min, I would die if i lost it!lol

There are the uisual things that I have appointments for in the last week - dentist, hairdresser, jewellers to get ER cleaned.

ASAP, I need to decide on music for walking in/out & signing & let quartet know, then sent OOS to be printed. Start making table plan. G

Think thats really it! Oh & clear out all the bootsale stuff, hopefully get to one this weekend!

Gosh girls, it sounds like everything's coming together. Jem - so annoying about your FG's shoes - especially as you knew already they would be a problem!

Bonnielass - I know what you mean about the diary. I've been carrying a notepad around with me for the last few weeks and I'd be lost without it!

Well, I've got loads to do and am doing my best to stay calm and do one thing at a time...

Pay Registrar and let her know what hymns, readings we are having, oh and anthems while we are signing register, thankfully, registrar is doing the OOS otherwise I think I would cry.

Sort out our wedding bands.. mine should be easy, but OH has got a massively stupid ring size which may need ordering in - pah!

Make a decision about my hair (I have another hair trial tomorrow morning)

Sort out appointments for nails, facial and waxing

Thankfully today, pressies have arrived for the parents - picnic hampers and we are going to attach picnic in the park tickets to them - huzzah, something sorted!

Need to chase up our venue as I need to check how big the tables are to sort out how we are going to set out chairs and tables

Order some chairs (oops,) otherwise no one will have anything to sit on, lol

Still need to pick up booze and soft drinks

PIL are still to go off to france and buy alcomohol!

give the florist our cake stands so she can make flowers to fit

pester my SIL to make sure she's sorted out when she's going to make the cake

finish the bunting

oh, there's lots more but I don't want to drown myself in one day lol ?

Hi PF,
