Good posting!

I think your list covers most things good and bad that I would have said.

Looking forward to -

Actually having the wedding I've been planning for 2.5 years!

Walking down the aisle and seeing my OH

Getting to spend the evening before the wedding catching up with my MOH who's been travelling the world for a year

Our first dance

Not looking foward to -

OH's family most likely getting excessively drunk at the reception

Most likely going red as everyone's attention is on me

Standing around waiting for formal photos to be done and finished

Nerves on the day

Looking forward to...

Wearing my dress and having make up etc done

Seeing Oh

Reception Party

Not looking forward to...

Everyone looking at me!

Photos (i always shut my eyes)

Speeches!

My sis in law trying to steal my limelight (she has desperatly been trying to get pregnant and has now suceeded so she has a baby for wedding! strange)

Ooo fun thread!!!

LOOKING FORWARD TO:

Getting glamed up and becoming a princess for the day

Completing our family by getting married

Seeing how handsome H2B and my toddler son look

Seeing everything coming together

Getting on down with the party

NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO:

Nothing as such only thing is not looking forward to it all being over

Looking forward to

Actually being married

Seeing ohs face when he sees me

The food!!lol

our evening surprise!!

Reading all the messages in our cards and guest book

Having breakfast with relatives we dont see very often (only my brother and ohs mum and brother will be staying over from the immediate family)

The honeymoon and going to the airport in a limo!!

Not having a wedding to plan any more

NOT looking forward to

All the stress over the timings (i'll save that for another post!!)

My mums constant digs/telling me how to stand/talk/behave

Worrying about ohs mum/stepmum being civil to each other

Not having a wedding to plan any more

My list would probably be very similar to yours Shoe!

Looking forward to:

• Walking down the stairs at my parents house in my dress for the first time, with my mum and dad and bridesmaids there ?
• Walking down the aisle with my dad and seeing my OH looking at me at the end
• Seeing all the wedding party and guests all dressed up
• The part just after the ceremony where OH and I will go for a short drive in the wedding car with some champers ?
• Seeing the ceremony & reception room all done up
• Being announced into the reception room as Mr and Mrs!
• The speeches
• Having a good party and knees up with all our loved ones
• Waking up the next morning to pressies and breakfast with our guests (nicked yours a bit there Shoe!)
• Honeymoon!!!

Least looking forward to:

The worry - either that people aren't enjoying themselves or that OH and I get too tipsy and embarass ourselves!

I think that's it! Far outweighed there! I'm quite looking forward to being the centre of attention for a day actually ?

Oh god and i am not looking forward to reciting the vows - i just know i am going to be all red and blotchy and sweating with everyone watching and will probably mess up the words - and if i dont mess up ill probably just giggle my way through them because ill be all embarassed!

thank god that part is only about 10 minutes! hahah

I am looking forward to the honeymoon and actually being married

I am not looking forward to having a runny bum on the wedding day ( I suffer from IBS when I get nervous or stressed)

Sorry i know its not funny but that made me ?

Your have to take some calms love!

Well I dont think there is anything Im not looking forward to!! ? Everybody's wee lists have added more to what im looking forward to! I dont really mind being the centre of attention so thats all good! I suppose I may have said that im not looking forward til it all being over...but i am looking forward to us spending the rest of our lives together!

Oooooooo i could list SO many things that i'm looking forward to but....

saying my vows

seeing H2Bs face as i come down the aisle

wearing my wedding ring finally!!!

Having all the people i love together at the same time

THE HONEYMOON

Not looking forward to ....

worrying things are going how they should and everything is done how it should be in the set up (control freak - moi?!?!)

dropping food or wine down my dress!!!

Screw the calms love, I cannot control the IBS sadly

I take these tablets called Spasmonal to stop my tummy spasming when I am really bad , if I get in public I can fall to the floor with the pain from cramps and people ask me occasionally if I am pregnant - nice!

I am not going to eat for 24 hours before the wedding day , then have a massive fry up about 30 mins before ( I am so classy) I go down the aisle (whilst wearing a bib of course!)

Glad someone else is worrying about that too Saracroft! I suffer really bad too when I'm nervous / stressed but also suffer the other way if I even look at an Immodium! So I will have stomach cramps one way or another on the day!

I am hoping that I will only have them up till the Photos, once the ceremony and pics are over I am sure I will relax. Although there is then the speeches......!!!!!!

I suppose mine are pretty much the same as everyone elses.

Most looking forward to actually becoming his wife and starting our fututr together.

Looking forward to the reception (not as much as my friends tho i don't think, lol)

Looking forward to getting dressed up and seeing all my friends and family dressed up.

Not looking forward to the attention, even tho i perfoem on the stage i hate people i know watching me!

Not looking forward to the pictures, i hate posing always look so uncomfortable.

Not looking forward to crying (coz i know i will)

The biggest thing i'm not looking forward too is not having a wedding to plan after. ☹️

All the usual things but I few added extras:

I am really looking forward to the car journey with my step-dad and his speech. I have lived with him since I was 6 months old and he is every inch of my dad to me and I feel this is the day I get to give that back and let him know how important that is, so super looking forward to that.

Least looking forward to the fact that I cant set up all my own decorations! I am a control freak and really would rather do it!

I think mine is pretty similar to everyone elses

Looking forward to

1) Finally being married

2) being with all our family and friends

3) Dress wearing (well sort of depends if i like it when its done)

4) having a girlie morning with my BMs befiore the wedding

Not looking forward to

1) Everyone looking at me

3) Like Steely said, Being a Princess for a day getting glammed up and wearing my dress!

This is a good thread

I am looking forward to:

Finally becoming Mrs B after what feels like forever planning the wedding.

Seeing everything that I have planned come together

Wearing my dress

Getting my hair and make-up done and feeling pampered.

Seeing OH's reaction when he sees me in my dress

Having all my family and friends together

The reception when I can relax and have a good drink/dance

Not looking forward to:

Most probably feeling sick with nerves!

The nerves..... the nerves.... the nerves!!!

Crying and ruining my make-up.

Looking forward to:

Finally marrying my gorgeous H2b.

Wearing my gorgeous dress

Having my hair and make-up done!

Having a nice time with my husband and all my family and friends.

Not looking forward to:

Trying to go to the loo with my dress (if i get nervous or worried i am always in the loo and can't do a number 2 in public lol)

If my OH cries

If i cry

If something doesn't go to plan

If it rains.

Looking forward to:

Being married

Being on holiday

Having everything planned for me when I get there, all I need to do is pick flowers and cake!

Getting pampered

Wearing my dress

My OH and Dad seeing me in my dress, my Dad wants the surprise too!

Everyone looking all pretty!

Food and drink! BBQ on a beach sounds fab to me!

Not looking forward to:

The legal stuff - We have to do a 10hr trip to get all the legal stuff done before the wedding. I'm not looking forward to this!

Things going wrong like dress going missing!

Having my hair done and it looking a state!

OOH I'm soooo excited now it's just over two weeks to go. Really looking forward to:

Seeing friends and family from Ireland and America

Walking up the aisle and seeing my gorgeous o/h waiting for me

The food! (Our hotel does amazing food, hope I don't lose my appetite on the day!)

Getting to wear my gorgeous dress at last

Going on honeymoon and checking in at our fab destinations as Mr and Mrs W!

Not looking forward to:

The first dance.... well the second song anyway! We decided to have our first song "Love is in the Air" because it's more upbeat and then "Now that we've found love" which is really fast and upbeat. I'm terrified I'm going to be standing in the middle of the floor looking really awkward! It's fine to dance like a madthing nearer the end of the night, but not when everyone is still sober - and looking at us....?
