May 2010 girlies...

Jumbly Girl, 19 April, 2010 at 21:42 Posted on Planning 0 18

How are we all feeling and getting on?

It's finally beginning to feel real now, although I still end up giggling when i think I might be married soon. It seems like such a grown up thing to do.

I had a good weekend and tied up ends with the venue, florist, photographer, hair and makeup teams. Just waiting for a few stragglers to RSVP, buy some thank you gifts, make the OODs, and have a second hair trial and I'm virtually there. I might do a cake practice this weekend as well. How are you all?

    Yeah I haven't quite got around to paying for anything yet. I really should avoid it all happening at once I suppose!

    Ooh good shout - I still have to finish the table plan. It's half finished and taking up our spare room at the moment. Gee -this is useful as I knew there'd be something I'd forget!

    I'm not panicking nope I'm not panicking aaaagghhhh !!

    Apart from my weather obsession, I am pretty much done. Had final meeting with photographer and florist on Saturday, picked up bridesmaid dresses on Sunday. I get mine on Saturday.

    Spent today dividing up 1500 table diamonds into 8 envelopes, oh joy !

    The lady making the table plan came today so that will be here next Wednesday ?

    I just seem to have a lot on every day before the wedding. It's going to be here before I know it, would love to have just one day of slobbing around and charging my batteries especially after having my 7 yr old home for 2 1/2 weeks !

    Wine issue is that we haven't chosen it yet! ?

    I bought 3 bottles in Tesco last week to try but D isn't home. All between £9-10 per bottle reduced to under £5 ? We just need to find one we like and buy it.

    Hair is stressing me out. I thought I knew what I wanted (updo) but I put my hair in a similar style for my dress fitting and didn't like it with my dress in the photos. I think I've worked out that I don't like the bare section between neck and dress so am now thinking of a down do. Whether that's straight or curly i'm not quite sure yet ?

    The big things are done but I've got a very long list of stupid little things that need doing. I'm bored of it all now and just want it to be here!

    GB, I'm having hair trauma too...going for another trial tomorrow. I need an updo coz my dress just doesn't look as good with my hair down. The 1st trial of a messy updo didn't go as well as hoped Smiley sad

    When is your OH home? or is he stuck in the US bcoz of the ash?

    It must be really frustrating for you, one report says it's an improving situation and another says another cloud of ash is heading this way. Hope you do manage to get him home sooner ..........

    Yeah - he's staying in a nice hotel in SF. Has got it booked for the next 10 nights too.

    We had someone drop out the wedding yesterday - daft muppet sent a mail saying he'd bought his new suit and went to book the hotel only to realise he's on holiday then!! He had the invite since November! ?

    Slight downside is that he was going to be our 2nd shooter - doing all the guests photos ☹️ Nevermind! I'm sure we'll sort something.
