Just over a week til the first March wedding, eek!!! ?

How are we all getting on?? Ready?!
We're picking up our banns from the church in our parish tonight (getting married out of parish) - has suddenly hit home that this is really happening, and SOON!! ?
Payday on monday so I can finally get the few bits & bobs left to get, about time too!!
Have just been looking at the work schedule, and I'm on a course tomorrow until next Tuesday so I only have 8 actual working days left til wedding/honeymoon annual leave begins!!

I'm stressed, nervous, terrified, and very excited!!! ? How about you lot?!

    How exciting Nutella! I like the thought I've only got one more weekend to go!

    shoes I actually wore in last summer. It was a bit of excitement whilst I waited for my dress!

    Wow, getting married THIS WEEK Nutella - that's so exciting!

    It's all seeming very real now isn't it ladies...I think as soon as it hits March on Friday I'll be beside myself! Seeing all the good luck threads appearing makes it seem closer too (am trying not to look too closely although pretty sure I haven't seen my name pop up yet - if it has and I haven't seen it I'll remain in denial to stop the temptation of looking and getting a spotty chin!).

    Chedi - wow, am jealous you've broken your shoes ain already. My feet hurt!!

    A massive good luck to all my fellow March Brides...I'm a bit of a long time lurker, if I'm rarely brave enough to post. I was in the 2013 facebook group too, until life sort of imploded around me last Summer, but I've thought of you all often. Wishing you wonderful, sunny, happy days, and so much joy...

    Nutella, you're getting married THIS WEEK!! That's madness and so exciting.

    Currently shopping for a cape / wrap too :-)

    I'm sure you won't have time to think of us on your honeymoon, have a great time. Good luck for your wedding on Saturday!! Looking forward to seeing some pictures from all of the March brides soon.

    Only two more days left of February now ladies...

    No more paydays for me now until after the wedding and only 2 shifts left at work before 3 lovely relaxed (hopefully) weeks off to get everything sorted. It's starting to get real.

    Mrsmiddletontobe we're date twins Smiley smile doesnt it seem both incredibly close but wierdly like its not really happening??? I am having 'I've left the cooker on' feelings constantly but think I have managed to cover everything. Just a few last minute things to sort out (table signs need cutting out, table plan to be put together, gotta buy pens for the guest book, etc) nothing major, which I think is making me more stressed as I really could do with keeping myself busy.

    The dresses, suits and boxes of decor are waiting patiently in our spare room so I keep going in to look at everything - can't believe its only 19 days away!

    Finger crossed that the weather picks up though - like others on here I am thinking about getting a warmer shrug just in case (I can always return it if I dont wear it in the end).

    Good luck to all other march brides, cant wait to start seeing pics from all of your gorgeous days. x

    Oooh yay! So happy to have found a date twin. I hope we both have some nice weather on the day, I don't even really mind if it's cold I just don't want it to rain. I'm even getting to the point now where I don't care if it rains I just can't wait to get married.

    I can't believe it's only 2 weeks on Sunday. When we got engaged it was 554 days to go, it doesn't seem real.

    PS: I need guestbook pens too!

    Can I get excited that I've only got left to do (apart from collecting/decoration on the day before):

    bag favours (this saturday with mum and MOH with a chinese - boys are out for a local stag meal for those who couldnt make th weekend away)

    order bouquet gift flowers for our mums (will do during saturday day time)

    print a photo out to go in the frame I've got as a gift for my MOH (no idea when...)

    wrap gifts (possibly Wed/Thur next week on my days off)

    book and get nails done (again either Wed/Thur next week)

    and pack for our minimoon! (oh..again probably Wed/Thur next week)

    OH only needs to put music onto CD's for ceremony & breakfast and help wrap and pack.

    It's such a tiny list! ?

    Don't trust the weather look at last year! if its any reassurance my Birthday is the 28th March and only once on that weekend have we had snow/terrible weather, the rule in our house is that is the first barbecue of the "summer" then we wrap the barbecue season up on H's birthday Smiley smile

    I checked the long range weather forecast for the 17th and it says it's going to rain Smiley sad Although there is sun for about a whole week after and it's meant to be 12C so looks like it might be getting a bit warmer.

    We can say we are getting married this month! Smiley laugh

    I've been telling myself that I dont care about the weather, and I cant control it so what will be will be. Having said that, the last week it is all I have thought about, only 16 days to go and I am praying for some sunshine (or just dont rain, snow, or have gale force winds!!). I am getting married by the coast and it does tend to be a little better than we get in the Midlands so suppose we wont know until we get there.

    Mrsmiddletontobe - where are you getting married?

    Sharnbrook Hotel in Bedfordshire. I would love to get married by the coast, it's even better if you can nip off to the beach for some pics. My venue has lovely gardens that I want to make full use of, so fingers crossed the weather holds out.

    I've been trying to make myself think like this. We were hoping to have our ceremony outside on the patio. Although from the beginning have said if its too cold/ wet we would use one of the beautiful rooms inside. However throughout the whole planning process i stupidly have been always imagining it being outside it just adds that extra specialness to the whole thing.

    But like you say we can't control it. I have the right groom , the right dress and nearly all the people i would want to be there will be . So even if it is inside having all that should be all that matters....... think im trying to convince myself haha!

    I've just seen my ticker, 27 days to go, blimey!

    I've just been trying to tie up some bits and bobs. I think it will feel more real after my fitting on 11th March.

    I've officially lost my marbles. I'm currently making reserved signs for the ceremony (for bm's, my Mum etc) and I'm mounting them and everything. Still beats hoovering ?

    This sounds familiar - I'm making labels for the confetti...just in case anyone doesn't know what to do with it!

    Labels for the confetti you say???

    I've just found out today my bridesmaid and her long term boyfriend are having a break. She apologised for messing up the table plans etc which tbh I don't care about as long as she's ok but I do need to re do everything now! I think the stationer has already done the display table plan and not sure if it can be changed.

    I think we must all be in same state of mind (that being completely mad!) as I am just wondering if I need to do a sign for the bubbles!!

    In my defence though, you cant really tell what they are now that I've put them into the holder I've brought. ?

    I just got all paranoid that people would think the little confetti bags we're leaving on the chairs in the ceremony hall were pot pourri and just take them home...now I've written this down and read it back it sounds completely mad! Still, only 10 more days of madness to go ?

    I love my mummy! She is buying me chair covers for the wedding ? I wasn't going to bother cos they seem like a waste but I think they also look really nice at a wedding. My mummy is great! 26 days to go and 8 days till we move house! It's all happening in my little world!

    Oh you do make me laugh Mrs P to Be (I really cant wait to drop the 'to be' bit! Not long now!!)

    I'm in an exceptionally good mood tonight. I cant stop grinning. FMIL has had her operation today to remove her gall stones, and you can already see the difference in her jaundice! She has rosie cheeks for starters! My hand (after burning it Friday) is healing really nicely, still bandaged, but a small one, and I go back Thursday in the hope I might be bandage free for the wedding, or if not, just a small one I can do myself! My MOH and one of our good friends are finally together (which makes me super happy as they should have been together years ago!)....and I've only got tomorrow left to go at work!!!

    It's the little things that add the extra cost and its just a bridge too far right now. I'm so glad you're hand is getting better. That must have hurt like a lot!
