july brides

Well im more or less organised and most things paid for! but mines was more or less taken care of by the gretna green wedding planner people!!

still do do:

send away the M10 forms (should have done it a fortnight ago, DEF on it this weekend)

Buy shoes and a gift for my one supportive sister who has been away gem compared to the other 2 witches

buy my wedding ring (OH already got his - i cant decide between a plain ring and a diamond one!)

thats it!! feeling much smugness, but still a bit nervous that ive forgotten something MAJOR ?

Erm get pants and send off my passport forms - other than that i think i'm nearly there!!!! I think......................

Oh and pay out shed loads of money which is making me very very nervous!!!!

Time is going soooooooooooooo fast!!!!

of course!! i need a pair of miracle pants for day time and knock em out ones for night time!! ? i knew there would be something......

Heyyyy (*wave to twinnies*)

ugh can't believe it's in just over 2 months! STILL haven't got the groomsmen's suits, so am very worried! i've got to get pants too... right now i'm trying to sort out my favour fillings and pouches, booking a 2nd hair trial, trying to find a mobile cocktail bartender and stressing about my failure to lose any weight! also got to get my dress adjusted a wee bit and get the clasp of my bracelet fixed. going to start carrying a notebook around from next week.

i feel like the month before will be manic - chasing up RSVPs, confirming with all the suppliers, make the favours and decide on the table plan etc - NOT looking forward to it xxx

OMIGOD I JUST REMEMBERED ALCOHOL!!!!!!!!!! AAAAH! totally blanked on this and just saw it on someone elses list. got quotes from the supplier and never confirmed and now it better not be too late. ugh ugh ugh i am so sick of this WP rubbish, i just want it to be the big day already!x

Omg cant believe its only 10 weeks today for me eeeek.... starting to panick slightly now!! Currently my OH family have all fallen out and his sister who was meant to be my only bridemaid might not be even coming to our wedding arrrggghhhh and to top that we have found a house are waiting to hear back about our offer!!!

Planning wise we still need to sort rings and im waiting to hear back from our cake lady, chasing RSVPs etc, organising the order of the day and starting the table plan.

Hows everyone else doing??

Hello my love!!!

You have been busy eh! My OH family are being a right pain in the ass, one by one they are pi$$ing me off. His sister being the main one trying to be centre of attention as always, excuse me its ALL ABOUT ME get over it ?

What a bummer about your BM situation, hope you can resolve it or get another one in her place?

Hey my love know the feeling she is being a complete drama queen over her and her bro falling out meaning we the added stress is causing us to find our new home sooner rather than later as we are currently renting of his parent so could really do without this added stress but i do have a backup plan for the bridesmaid situation just dont really want to execute it and time is running out!!! Familys hey!!!

Hows all your plans going? Ive had enough of wp now and just want the day now !! lol

Still got lots to do and nothing seems to be simple!!!

Bl00dy SIL2B is causing H2B so much stress with her personal issues, I dont even wanna see her face atm! Shes pulled out of my hen weekend, which is all booked and partly paid for, hope she doesnt get her money back............ ?

Oh god yeah, hope you find a house soon, as if you need this extra stress at the moment?

Just finalising things with suppliers and that at the moment, and ordering little bits and pieces from ebay etc. I seem to be stuck in my own little world constantly thinking about table decorations and favour boxes lol!!!

I know the worst thing is my SINL2B is actually my best friend as well grrrr ...... i could just throttle them all at the moment as she went and involved their parents which has meant there is bad feeling between all involved and no-one seems to be caring about me or my feelings with only 10 weeks till the wedding wish we had gone abroad now!!! Dont mean to sound selfish...

So im all a bit in limbo land really and OH is just ignoring it like a typical man!! Got to give final no's shortly arrggghhh

Anyway i think im just going to forget about favours as i have no inspiration really plus only 10 weeks and if we get this house then its something else to organise that i could do without!!

Rant over apologies feel better now lol K xxx

Hi Girlies!

31st July.... creeping up so quickly!!!! I have been really lucky OH sisters are making all my stationary! I have planned everything i wanted and they have done it all. I'm so lucky to have them. when they offered to do it all, i was a bit worried because thought they would take over and change all my ideas, but they have been brilliant hand making everything exactly how i want it!! Think they just need to print Order of Service, make table plan (already designed) print name cards and make favours.

All men need to be sized for suits.

Have my last dress fitting

Have my last hair and make up trial

buy BM's shoes

Have final meeting with florist

Buy underwear

My list looks long.... Ahhh. think most of it will be in the last months though!

Wish it would hurry up and get here already ?

Good luck to everyone else!! ?

Thanks for the offer Jane, but I have already got my favours, I just keep changing my mind lol!!

Kerry, dont worry hun I said the same thing about getting married abroad recently. I would have done it but H2B didnt want to as his mum is 70 odd and has fibromyalgia and didnt want her to travel and wear herself out. He actually agreed with me the other day it would have been easier and cheaper to go abroad......................... why dont they listen in the first place lol!!

Men do tend to bury their heads in the sand, everything will get done 'in a minute'.......... arrgghhh!

If you need any help with anything just shout me on here or PM me, Im partial to a bit of googling, I wont mind at all!

We are going suit shopping tomorrow for the men as havent sorted this out yet. got to get pressies for the 2 dads and best man sorted and something small for the ushers, got to pay money off which i am not looking forward to as my bank account looks healthyish at the mo with the savings! not time for me to chase up RSVPS yet, but not had many evening ones back yet and sent them out bout 3 weeks ago. got lots of little things to do like make the favour boxes, writing place names, table numbers, table plan, post box etc and cant do most of them till nearer the time as I dont have the room to store it all made up!

Hey ladies- replyiong to this one a bit late!

I feel like ive got sooo much to do- the BM dresses have been the bain of my life! They turned up again in the wrong colours and materials and nowthe perso that made them has vanished! So having to get a local tailor to fix them all!! Then i have to post them to everyone! they all live ages away- two of them in washington!

Also ive finished buying all the bits for my outfit- just got my jewelry which im really excited about! Alos got my hair and makeup trial in 2 weeks!

Hen party is in June- going to Center Parcs so looking forward to lots of pampering- quite excited as i think ive got a good mix of people going

I still have to chase up RSVPs, do table plans, pin the charity badges to the favour cards and double confirm with florist how many tables we're having etc and confirming menu choices for those with allergies! H2B been to get measured but still unsure of waistocats etc and im worried he's leaving it a bit late! Need to finish off gifts for everyone. Then its just paying for everything!

Sorry to ramble!

I didn't realise until the last post that this was an old thread, in that case I really am behind! Luckily I'm the last day in July but with only 12 weeks to go this is just a few of the many things I need to do with my H2B being incredibly laid back about it all:

get/make postbox, evening invites, table plan, place names (part of the favours), put together favours, order flowers (a good friend who's a florist will be arranging them but she lives in Swedon & is hard to get hold off), buy clothes for page boys, get bridesmaids dresses from China (having problems with Chinese dressmaker but should be here by end of month), order waistcoats & rouches, order chair sashes, get my own jewelery, take photos for table names, make a date for 1st dance lesson & probably a thousand & one other things.

Have had a stressful week at work this week but yesterday I had a real weep on OH's shoulder about planning not going the way I expected from my family's negative behaviour dress shopping, to unhelpful sisters as bridesmaids (ongoing stress), to now having to organise own hen weekend with only 5 of us (with only 1 out of 6 bridesmaids) but the thing that really got me down was the fact that yesterday was the deadline we'd put on our day invites & I'd only heard from 44 out of 90 people! OH really doesn't get why I wanted to receive RSVP's from everyone but it just feels rude that some people hadn't replied.

Ok, enough of my rant, am feeling better today but I hope to be able to say that I've got lots more ordered soon but I have a feeling I'll be doing stuff up until the day of the wedding (& more than likely on the day too!!!)

Oh Twinnie, that is rubbish!!! Everything will work out fine, just going to be a busy few months!!! I keep telling myself the same, things with uni/ assignments are getting me down, but just say "bugger it!!" cos on the day itll be perfect! ? Keep Smiling

P xx

Thanks twinnie. ?

Some days I'm fine & calm about everything, others I get stressed about all the little things. I spoke with a friend this morning who got married last year & she was very reassuring & like you was reminding me about the important part of the day & not getting lost with everything else!

Hope you're getting on ok x

Last Little Things - Thanks for the offer although i think im quite happy to go without in all honesty not sure why im just not into the whole favour thing at the mo, no offence to anyone just think id rather spend the money on other things eg confetti etc

Gemini - Cheers my love really thoughtfull of you, im sure it will all blowover and come good!! Just the fact there is a time constraint ie wedding which it would be nice if it was sorted out for!! Lol take care and likewise if you need some help and advice you know where to find me!!
