    Woohoo! Although I'm afraid I can't talk to you if you are organised, you will only upset me ? Supposed to be online buying ribbons and table plan stuff but somehow appear to have wandered onto Hitched instead!

    I am not organised. Not even a little bit!!

    I still have to make our table plan, print off the table name pictures (and spend DAYS faffing about with them, shouting until they look right). I don't have shoes for my flower girl, shirts, ties or shoes for my sons, no idea what to do with my nails, I have another 54 origami lilies to make, a load more sci fi memorabilia to collect, we need to choose a first dance song (and teach h2b to dance!), have to finalise and burn to CD all the songs we want for the wedding ceremony.........

    AAARGH! Must Stop Writing Lists!!!

    Your list is about the same as mine, don't worry! Just ordered table plan materials today, will probably make it at around 11pm the night before the wedding ? I just had my first dress fitting yesterday. No hair trial yet. And I don't know what to do with my nails either. They have all been flaking over the last month or so which is just typical as they are normally long and in pretty good condition!

    But the main thing is that we have organised enough tobe able to turn up on the day, get married, and have a great time with our guests. I have lost the ability to care about anything else!

    YAY! Very glad you saw this, 1Lucie! How're your plans going?

    We got the table plan finished today, designed the prints that will do on the display board thingy and uploaded the online version to our website. Productive! I also made another 6 lilies (getting really fed up of them now, hahahahaha) and had a fight with h2b about music. It's the most wedding-y day we've had for ages thanks to stupid work getting in the way, which I'm quite pleased about because I really hurt my back yesterday and have been stuck on the sofa all day.

    I had to change my ticker. Couldn't cope with looking at it this morning and seeing TWO WEEKS (and 6 days, lol). 20 days sounds much friendlier.. Much more time to get the MOUNTAIN of things left on the to-do list done.

    We've just managed to refanangle the table plan after all the faff caused by the hotel realising they'd misinformed us about how many tables we can fit in the room and then my dad announcing that he's invited a further 4 people- gnyaaaaarrrgh!!!

    Anyway, *breathe* it's ok now.

    No it's not ok. I'm a nervous flapping wreck. Been shouting at everyone at work for the last two days, and had a huge stupid fight with h2b last night. I have got to get a grip!!!

    Does every bride turn into a screaming banshee in the final days before the wedding?

    Hey date twins! How's it going?

    We had a DISASTER yesterday when our TOG cancelled on us. No explanation why, although plenty of apologies and offers to send someone else in his place. As it turns out, h2b has a friend who's a part time wedding photographer so is standing in. PHEW! Casually avoided a major stress-out there. i think something weird may have come over me because I didn't freak out like I thought I would. I think I've entered that eerily calm phase... Wonder if I'll turn back into a stressed out banshee in the next few days.

    We still have to finish off the table plan but we've decided not to bother with name place cards. The seats won't be used for long anyway so we're allocating people to tables but they can choose their own seats. Think that fits with the informal tone of the day quite nicely AND saves me a tonne of work.

    Tonight, tomorrow and Tuesday I will be making the final 30 flowers for the centrepieces. We have loads of lily vases with the finished arrangements all dotted around the house looking very sparkly and pretty! H2b has ordered the helium for the balloons and we've only got a couple more bits of sci-fi memorabilia to collect. The boys' shirts and ties arrived - they tried their suits on the other night and looked wonderful. I need to get them some shoes as their school back shoes are a bit scuffed.

    All in all, it's all coming together! 13 days left!

    What a nightmare about your tog, sammy! Glad you've managed to sort a replacement so quickly. I have a huge fear of all our suppliers dropping out at the last minute.

    We weren't going to have place cards either but then we ended up with so many different dietary requirements (veggies, preggers friends, children) that in the end we decided we'd better have them so the venue can keep track of who is eating what. I wrote them all last night - all except mine and Mr Spoon's as I ran out of cards! the venue gave us the blank cards but not enough of them. So there's another job that I can't quite tick off the list yet.

    We are getting there, the whole house is full of wedding stuff but this weekend we have printed all the table names (had to buy another printer as ours chose this exact moment to break), ironed all the bunting triangles ready for sewing, ordered our honeymoon currency, finalised things with the tog, finished off the favours, finished the postbox.... am shattered just thinking about it. I also had my second dress fitting, it's nearly there but I've asked her to take it in a bit more round the top as at the moment I'm worried a boob may come loose at any moment ha ha!

    Went to a friend's evening do on Friday which was very surreal as all we could say to each other was "this is us in 2 weeks!"
