    My main concern is after the wedding - how do I wean myself off wedding paraphernalia? I'm going to redecorate the whole house and garden after our honeymoon, but then after that.........???

    People keep saying "oooh you'll have babies!" but I want to be selfish for a while, enjoy being married and then look at getting upduffed. I'm far too selfish to have a Mini Spangles at the moment.

    Laura - no was supposed to get them last Friday but she called on Tuesday to say they aren't ready and she was going on holiday. Had to cancel my hair trial as she is making my veil too. Gutted - now my hair trial can't be until a week before the wedding and I have less time to practice in my shoes! Luckily the dress shop borrowed a pair without the bows and whistles on for me so I could get my dress altered. Very frustrating!! Waited 13 weeks now! x
