mum-wants-a-hat, 4 June, 2013 at 17:42 Posted on Planning 0 14

18 days left weheyyyyyyy!!!!!

Met the caterers for the first time at the venue last night- we have spoken loads on the phone and get on really well but Nice to meet them in the flesh. All details sorted, mucho relaxo!! :0)

TOG due round any moment to go over stuff for the ceremony etc then hen meal tomorrow night!

I wasn't bothered about doing anything at all hen wise, plus I'm having a champagne spa sesh with my lovely sis next week, but my daughter didn't want me to let it go by without a girlie do. So, just around a dozen of us are off first a meal at a place everyone raves about but we have yet to try.... And I'm actually excited about it now!

Just the bar and marquee suppliers to meet up with at the venue if we EVER manage to coordinate diaries but really, it's no biggie..... We're forever chatting on the phone anyway and we all know what eachother has planned so no big fuss.

Mum has sent a cheque off today to pay for the church then I just need BIL to make the cd for the ceremony music.

By 'eck its gerrin rate close innit?!

Wahhhhhhhh :0D

    Cheers Aly :0)

    When we set the wheels in motion in early october, I thought oooo that's plenty of time- it was basically a case of imagine a pregnancy....

    Well I can assure you all of my pregnancies seemed to last a darn sight longer than this planning lark!

    Excited, very. But calm too.

    Tbh I've still getting the a few bits to sort but I'm in a very 'heyho it will happen' mindset at the moment.... But I'm falling more in love with the mister every day too .

    Can't wait to be Mrs Sutton.... Better get practising that signature! Xx

    How much practising? I feel like a school girl, I've had the same initials for 46 years so keep trying out how it would look ? I'm so excited for you! Enjoy your unplanned hen party ?

    Eek Venart!! it will be great to have them arrive!

    My step brother and sister both live in France and fly in on the 21st. I see my sister each year, but due to his having gone through some problems and distancing himself from the entire family for a very long time, I haven't seen my bro for 5 years! He's never even met my youngest daughter yet but thankfully he is slowly getting better and is really looking forward to us all being reunited. I feel so honoured that he is making the effort to come over... I can't wait! :0) xx

    How's your dress coming along btw? Xx

    Ohhh trust me I too have list upon list... Daily!!

    I'm a bit of a list freak- I have been known to have a list of my lists.. No joke!!

    But I think that's maybe how I stay calm, even though I rarely complete the items on them!

    To be fair, I have a condition which affects my memory so lust making is just a coping mechanism.... Although I have often been known to forget that I had written reminders in the first place lol! Xx

    I have an appt tomorrow - apparently the lace has been made into the bolero, but the edging won't be on it yet. She's going to pin the edging in place when I have it on tomorrow. I bought the ribbon yesterday for the sash, so that won't be on the dress either, but it's got the tulle layers for the skirt attached.

    The only thing I'm worried about is that she took it in at the sides too much. She was supposed to take it in at the waist, but not at the bust, and just taper it so that the bust remained the same as it was... well, she took it in a uniform amount along the whole side seams, and she's supposed to have fixed it now, but I'm worrying that she hasn't done! We'll find out tomorrow, though!

    Ooo fingers and toes crossed for you chick.... At least you know it's coming along. Unfortunately I don't have a problem with boobage... I'd love to wonder if I would overfill the bust lol!

    I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end- and to have a unique dress is so exciting!

    I just can't wait to get back in mine- I collect it 2 days before, along with littlegs' 'princess' dress and the guys' suits. I'm just going to want to fiddle with them all so much... Do not touch, DO NOT TOUCH!!!
