    No, it's not long at all, I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. Not panicking yet though!!!

    I wrote a list of things still to do the other day and it's still longer than it should be :-

    Flower girl dress, jewellery and shoes

    Buy candles for the centrepieces

    Lace for the lantern jars I'm making

    Underwear/garter

    Perfume for the day

    Favours for the men

    Ushers gifts

    Gift bags for children

    Book beauty treatments

    Makeup trial

    Pre wedding photo shoot

    Finish table plan and place cards

    Give notice to registrar

    and maybe some other bits and bobs

    Hopefully over the next couple of weeks I can be crossing off most of this. Hope everyone else is a bit more organised than I am. x

    I'm too scared to start a to do list, we only got engaged Feb 26th so just been ploughing on. Sure it will be ok, I'm a performing arts teacher at school, if I can organise 100 kids putting on a full scale musical then this will be easy! ?

    Getting butterflies everytime it's mentioned! Anyone else?! Can't believe my hen is next month and getting married the month after next. The Royal Wedding made me even more excited about my own! I have a few bits left to do but on the whole it's sorted.

    How's everyone getting on with their RSVP replies? I have a few left to come but the deadline isn't for a couple of weeks. Anyone had any major dramas?

    xx

    Yes the 31st, I saw your name on the 2011 brides list!

    Umm... I think I'm getting there but we are doing it all in 5 months, dont get much help from OH as he works some crazy hours, and being a secondary school teacher its coming up to exam times, but have been very lucky and things have fallen into place so think I'm on track. Will def be relying on half term holidays I think!

    All the major things are done, venue, my dress, suits,photographer, cake, invites out, and as the venue is doing all catering its not too bad. All the personal touches to go!

    How are your plans going, where are you getting married... I'm an Essex Girl!

    I must admit I think its all ok so far, sure I've missed some really obvious stuff that i should do, but I'm just going with the flow at the moment. I do think the advantage to doing quick means I've had to be quite decisive so that has saved some time

    We've just booked our honeymoon, we are off to Kenya, went to Dr tonight to get booked in for jabs and looks like I will be a human pin cushion for the next few weeks, and a broke one at that! (Although we put that into the budget)

    We are not booking our honeymoon yet. It's driving me mad. But OH really wants to take me and my son to Australia, He went there last year to visit friends who emigrated and loved it and promised he would get us all out there.

    Kenya will be fab!
