one month to go

mrsjbw2b, 7 July, 2010 at 10:35 Posted on Planning 0 8

Starting to feel a bit better about it all today, just thought id share, had my nails done this morning and have finally settled on a nail art design i like, got to go pay off the registrar later today, met my dress maker yesterday and got every bodies dresses sorted , very reasonable rates £20 for mine to have the boobs taken in 4 inches and have a bustle fitted, £15 each for the bridesmaid dresses, straps shortened, body taken in slightly and taken up , and £10 for my mums dress to have the boobs taken in.

spent hours online yesterday and managed to get all the thankyou gifts i needed, went to town and got all the thankyou cards, gonna write them out later, finally managed a playlist for the dj, just got to work on OH and first dance now lol

just felt like sharing now im finally getting my mojo back ?

    Ooh, I didn't know you were the same weekend as me - I'm at a month tomorrow too!

    Sounds like you have things under control, and your dress alterations are a damn sight more reasonable than mine!

    £70 just to have it shortened!! I wish I'd taken it elsewhere but when I went for my fitting, I found out the bridesmaid dresses has been made in the wrong colour so I wsn't thinking straight and let them get on with it really. My flower girl dress alterations are £25 each. What a rip off...

    Thats was part of my mojo problem, ive driven my self nuts for the last 11 months, had the usual in law probs etc, half of the ohs family cant be bother to come, so i got to the point of , well if nobody else can be arsed why should i , had a couple of weeks feeling like that , so my mum is now giving me constant earache so i thought id better get over my self and carry on , i think it was trying my dress on that returned my mojo, so im just gonna run with it while it lasts lol

    just had a thought , ive got to do a seating plan as well as half of my family arnt talking to each other , and have requested not to sit by each other , could be interesting as there are only 25 seats at the venue lol
