October 2015 brides....

Hey all!

Busy again I see?!

Lui - thanks so much for doing the mini calendar; it's really useful! I really wish I had a date twin on here though!

BJNL - My OH wants me to do a speech. I have asked him to tell me who he has thanked but he says he's not gonna tell me. Thing is, I don't want to repeat him! I also like your ideas about music for the morning

I can't think about what I have left but it's not too much at least! Got OH and best man's suit today and I pick up my dress on Monday after it's final alterations...eek!

I found it funny this afternoon as I went into House of Fraser today to try out possible perfumes. Apparently I was the third bride to do that today! There is some woman who had been coming in, trying 2 out, for the past 8 weeks! That's dedication/committment/craziness for you!

I hope you all have a great weekend!!

Hi Guys

I just ordered a robe for the morning of the wedding. It's easy to just go on and on buying things in all of the excitement isn't it?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00RW17XKU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

I also have a cool hoodie and I printed 'Mrs Mills 2015' onto it. I figure it will be fun to wear that on the plane on our honeymoon as it does get cold. We are going to Barbados for a week, two days after the wedding. Are you guys going on honeymoon? If so where and when?

CatD - My OH and I have shared brief details about our speeches. Like you say you need to know who he thanks so you just don't repeat his speech and no one is missed out. A mate if mine got married at the end of August and her speech was amazing. She spoke first before we went in for the wedding breakfast and I like the way her speech set the tone for the others.

I hope you've all had a good weekend and with each day we are one step closer to our big days. I can't wait for 10th October with so many of us getting married! It will be great to see the photos as they roll in and any advice about the day will be gratefully received.

Big love

Hi guys,

Well, I got my dress yesterday... but... it's too big. On the plus side, it's good I've lost some weight, on the down side, just over 3 weeks to go and I have to try and find a seamstress!

My only concern is... I'm a plus sized bride, so really wanted a seamstress who was experienced in altering plus size dresses and working with a larger lady... but I don't want to be driving back and forth to Essex any more to see their seamstress, as it's like a 3 and half hour drive....

So it's a case if putting my faith in someone!

The corset needs taking in as well as the dress! oops!

Morning ladies,

Congrats on losing the weight Rebecca!! Sadly I’m nowhere near you so not sure about a seamstress, however if you pop something on the main page I’m sure there maybe ladies who can help you, or as silly as it sounds the yellow pages may be somewhere to look to! Sorry I couldnt help!

BJNL – Those gowns are lovely and the hoodie sounds fab! Barbados sounds amazing, I have a friend from there and she has never said anything bad about it! You’re going to have the most amazing time.

So ladies the update on the calendar is:

LMP, Sparkly Bear – 3rd October

CornishBride89 – 4th October

Mrswatkinstobe, Stephied, Happy Polly, LeighB3, Miss Lynx, Rebeccafcr – 10th October

Tookmytime – 17th October

Firstimebride83 – 21st October

Bridgetjonesnolonger, MrsFRtobe - 24th October

Cat D – 29th October

Elvira – Darkside, AnnaMolly, Lui – 31st October

I did think yours was about that time firsttimebride, but wasn’t 100% so didn’t pop you on, however the list is growing well. Anyone else just give me a shout as I will forget otherwise.

So we had a bit of a crafting weekend and now I have a saw thumb as glue from the hot glue gun and now I have a blister on it, however we started our centrepieces. I’ve flashed these below for you. I did also do the mirror seating plan but forgot to take a photo so will when I’m back at my parents.

This photo is the centrepieces almost finished, just have to put the lights in the skulls:

This is the back:

These are the flowers that I’m grouping together to sit on one of the logs and then we will also have one set on the gifts table and one either side of the Mr and Mrs sign on the table with the register on it.

Thanks Lui,

I meant to mention this the other day... those skulls are ace! love them!x

Morning chickens ? eee it's getting closer, these weeks are flying over...

BJNL - yes it was probably the worst possible time to lose my phone! I haven't lost one in about 10 or 12 years and then all my appointments, photos etc gone! My new one should be on its way today though, cannot wait to get it back!

Ah I didn't think of making a getting ready play list, but I certainly will do now! I'm really looking forward to the getting ready bit with my mum and the girls! What will you say in your speech? I'm leaving that to the boys, although my MOH also wants to do one....hope she's not got anything embarrassing planned!

Rebeccafcr - it's a good problem to have though hun isn't it?! I am sure the seamstress will be fine, they can work wonders you know. They just swapped my dress for a smaller size as they had it in stock (off the peg), fitted perfectly, so now I'm trying to not lose any more for the day!

Lui - those centrepieces are phenomenal! Your poor little fingers must be cut to shreds after making all those flowers! They are so pretty, how many have you made in total? You could charge for those, they look professional ?

I took the dog out for a mega hike yesterday morning to gather leaves for the place cards. Got them all home and started to spray paint them gold but the paint fumes were really bothering my chest (I have asthma) so I delegated that task to Dad, who was more than happy to help and was sending me photo updates all yesterday evening of each batch he got through, bless him!

Also finalised the table plan (yay!) and made up the actual board with the tree, tables etc, had just finished writing everyone's name on in fancy gold pen, in my VERY best handwriting, and got a text from MIL letting me know someone had dropped out. I just calmly put it all to one side to finish off another day ha ha....!

Did anyone get up to much at the weekend?

Ooh also, does anyone know where I could get a rustic-y type pen for the guestbook? I tried paperchase but they didn't really have anything suitable.

This is the guest book we've ordered

Rebecca – Thank you lovely!! Hope you get the seamstress stuff sorted for you! 3 weeks to for you, I bet your super excited!

Stephied – Thank you lovely. The paper flowers weren’t so bad, did sprain my wrist slightly after making quite a few but no paper cuts. The glue gun got my which hurt but thats it haha. All in all I think I’ve made about 500+ flowers and still have paper in case i need to make more. Might make a few extra as I found a few my MOH made and bless her she tried but they look like they are on death doorstep hehe.

Maybe I’ll think about selling them after the wedding, i dream about paper flowers haha they just need to stop.

Ohhhh will you flash the leaves when you’re done? I bet they will look awesome when you/your dad are finished with them. Spray paint is horrible, it irritated me and I don’t even have asthma so i can only imagine you’re like 10x worse.

Ohhhhh your seating plan sounds amazing! I know what you mean about getting your best handwriting out. We had to ask my SIL to do that as I have very Doctor like handwriting which no one can read and OH looks like a child has scrawled when he writes hehe (his own words there!). Thats annoying! Are you going to replace the person that dropped out at all?

Ohhhh for the guestbook...have you thought about something like this:

https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/239957275/burlap-guest-book-pen-rustic-wedding?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=rustic%20pen&ref=sr_gallery_6

you can buy it from this shop in etsy or make it yourself as its just burlap and lace.

Loving the Origami Lui!

Just posting quickly to say we have lost our best man 4 weeks before the wedding.

We don't know why. It has to be his or his wife's health though.

We are gutted and knocked for six :-(

Only bright side is we were told on Friday and were going shopping for an engraved gift on Saturday so we saved £50!

He was our reserve best man. We have no other appropriate backups except father or brother. Father is reluctant to do it and my OH and his brother don't socialise at all.... no idea what we are going to do. OH says he won't have a best man - but with me having no one giving me away it will look stupid!

Spending this week curled up a bit until next weekend I think - currently wishing I hadn't planned a big wedding :-(

Oh misslynx, I’m sorry to hear that. It’s a shame that he had to pull out, I hope whatever has happened with him, he is ok.

Don’t worry things will be ok!! You guys don’t have to have people giving you away or BM. I don’t think it will be silly without either, it can make the focus more on you guys and your commitment to each other.

Big hug!

Hi, I posted on here a while ago but not been on much. I get married on October 3rd. Just after some favour ideas? We weren't going to have them, but think we might now and there's not long to get it sorted!

x

Flipping heck ladies, I leave for the weekend and this thread goes bonkers ?
Let's see if I can catch up a bit (apologies if some of it is short & sweet, just like me!!)

BJNL - If there The Most Frequent Posts were a Hitched Award we'd win it hands down!
I know exactly what you mean about people saying you won't be cold in your wedding dress, I saw on the news about an early winter and totally freaked out. Fingers crossed we all get lovely sunny days...
Pleased to hear your OH got you some lovely presents and that he enjoyed his stag, win win ?
I'm also planning on doing a speech, OH was a bit worried when I told him!
Your wedding morning CD is a great idea, think I might make one too ?
Love the robe you've bought, it's gorgeous! Like the idea of a hoodie as well, and your honeymoon sounds amazing!
It's definitely easy to buy things when you get caught up in the excitement.

My hen do was great thank you, had a really amazing time. The weather was pretty good, the rain from 10pm Friday night to around 3am Saturday morning was horrific so I only ended up getting 4 hours sleep but I coped ok considering!

Cat D - Ooh have you picked a wedding perfume yet? I did the same thing with Debenhams, I went in three times to try the same 2 perfumes as I couldn't choose!

firstimebride - Have you had your refund yet hun? Would definitely complain after the wedding, and if you get the chance post a review somewhere as well you may be able to save some other brides from the same problem.
Did you decide what to do with the contract you've been offered?

Lui - Have you decided what to do with your nails lovely? I didn't even think to recommend Shellac to you, for some reason I had it in my head that you wanted to stay natural. A few of my friends have Shellac quite regularly and they've never had any problems (I've not had it myself because I always have acrylics). As long as you have it taken off professionally you'll be ok.
Do you have a local Facebook group where you ask for salon recommendations?
Your centrepieces are absolutely amazing! The flowers look terrific, and well done for not injuring yourself too badly with the glue gun ?

How is your list looking now?

The list of dates is growing nicely I see, so many weddings so many lovely flashes!!

misslynx - So sorry to hear about your best man, is your OH ok?
I don't think it would stupid if you don't have a best man or get given away, it's personal choice after all.
Please don't stress my lovely, everything will fine. Have a weird Internet hug ?
Hope you manage to get your evening guests list sorted soon, if it makes you feel any better I've only just finished mine and I have 19 days to go!
How did you get on with the bits you had to do this weekend?
Ooh I love having my nails done and getting a pedicure, gotta have a pamper now and again. Body scrubs are great too, I had one before my fake tan a few weeks ago and it was lovely, well worth the money!

MrsFRtobe - How did you get on with the new salon? I've never had gel nails but a few of my friends have and they always look lovely.
The manor house for your hen do looks fabulous, your going to have an amazing time ?
Well done to your OH for getting a new job!

MrsWatkinsToBe - Of course you can come in January, the more the merrier! And I make wicked birthday cake if I do say so myself ??
I absolutely LOVE Gavin & Stacey, would really like to see Barry Island ... when I come over?!
Totally agree that we're the chattiest month of brides, but its lovely sharing plans and seeing everyone's pictures ?

rachhj - We're date twins ?
There's loads of things you can do for favours, what's your budget and wedding theme? We might be able to help...

Rebeccafcr - Well done on your weight loss ?
Is it possible that the seamstress you originally saw could recommend someone to you?
I'm not sure when you could do your favours, are the m&m's loose or in bags?

Stephied - Hasn't time flown by?? I'll have been planning for just under 2 years by the time the big day gets here, I swear it's sped up now though!
Really pleased you had a great time on your hen do, bet the weather was fab ? That totally sucks that your phone got stolen though, did you manage to cancel your number etc?
Sounds like you've had a late minute spending spree, I did the same 2 weeks ago! Have you had your hardcore crafting evening yet?
Ooh will you flash the leaves when your Dad has done them, it sounds like a lovely idea ?
Well getting for getting the table the plan, sorry to hear someone dropped out last minute hopefully it won't be too much of a pain for you to sort out!

Afternoon LMP,

Now excuse me but when did your wedding get 19 days away? I haven’t got an outfit! ?

I normally do keep my nails natural, I probably wouldn’t take the shellac off correctly so it was probably best that you didn’t suggest it. I have taken your advice from your sister and purchased the nail stuff from Rimmel and placed it on there. So far so good haha! Hopefully some buffing will help my nail grow. Alternatively I’m just going to have to have one fake one and the rest natural hahaha!

Thanks lovely! I dream of flowers now because they are everywhere, still have a billion left but may make some more as I worry I may not have enough haha! Thanks, my thumb is a giant blister but apart from that I’m all good! Hahah.

I think my list is getting smaller its now:

Wrap Gifts

Make favour boxes

Write thank you cards

Finish off card box

Talk to MOH about petite coats

I think thats it, Im sure I will remember more.

How is your list going?

Also I cant tell you about the veil steaming anymore, my mum and SIL went behind my back and took it to the bridal shop and are paying for it to be cleaned and steamed. They have also told the shop to ignore anything I say about price for alternations as my dad is now fully paying without me having to pay him back!! Really really sweet of them but sneaky sausages!

I’ve brought my flower girls bigger bubble wands, thinking they can have the big ones for walking down the aisle as they are little and then the smaller ones go in their box for their toys and things to do ect during the meal.

After all this weather talk I think i may have to invest in a second umbrella! Nooooo rain no!!!

Tell me all about your hen do lovely!!

Lui - your flowers really are lovely, you should be super proud . That pen is exactly what I was looking for, don't know why I didn't think of Etsy, I've practically lived on there for the past 2 years! That would be pretty easy to make though, and I do have a lot of glue lying around the house at the minute...

Misslynx - sorry to hear about your BM hun do you really need one though? Times are different now and I'm sure no one will even notice if you don't have one?

Rachhj33 - we are making ours, we got some brown paper bags from Ebay with our names and wedding date on, then we're making chocolate lolly pops and other little chocolates like leaves, flowers etc (we have bought molds ha ha!) and maybe put some fudge and toffee in there too.

LMP - how was your hen party lovely? I hope you had a ball, I did on mine, just a shame about the phone! I was too drunk and too upset to sort it out but my lovely friend changed all my passwords and I called the next day to get the phone blocked. My new one has been delivered today actually, so excited to have a phone again, it's been bloody awful!

As requested ladies, here is one of the pics Dad sent of the leaves:

I got the idea from a bridal magazine, they are for place cards, but in the magazine they were £5 each!! I thought, sod that, I'll go foraging for free ?

I'll take another pic when I've finished them off

Also Lui, your to do list is so tiny now!! Mine's still a good length ha ha...

Hi Guys,

Stephied9384... Love those leaves. Wicked idea!

LMP... the M&M's are in a bag, and I need to put them into boxes to be tied with ribbon. The sweets need emptying from packets and boxes into jars... so not a massice job there.

I have an appointment with a seamstress tomorrow morning at 9am.... she's been a seamstress for 30 years so just hope she can work with me dress!

Then am going to try and get some wedding things done after.... I feel like I have loads to do and very little time...

Here's my list from what I can remember:

Finish bride and bridesmaid bouquet's off

Finish off buttenholes

Write name cards

Make the table plan

sweety buffet

favours

centrepieces (crystal trees need making up with crystals and butterflies prior to taking to the venue)

Make the chest up for the cards

not to mention, sorting out honeymoon clothes, sorting what fits, what doesnt, washing, packing, cleaning the house.... etc etc.

I read the list and start to panic slightly...... that's normal right..!!?

Lui - I can't believe my wedding is only 19 days away either ??
You best go shopping then lady as I need my dancing buddy ?
I'll let my sister know that your trying that Rimmel stuff, she swears by it so it'll be interesting to see how it works for you. I'd say Shellac is still a good option but just make sure you have it removed professionally, don't try and do it at home ?
Haha I can just imagine you having some very odd flower related dreams ... do they follow you around bashing you on the head??
Ah well you can cope without a thumb ?
That is a very small list, I'm very impressed!!
I'm not even sure where to start again, I know I have things to do but I'm stumped if I can remember what ?
Aw your mum, dad and SIL are so sweet, what a lovely thing for them to do ❤️
Can I have a bubble wand pretty please ?
I refuse to buy an umbrella, I will not tempt fate...

Stephied - Aw bless you having your phone stolen really is horrible, pleased to hear you have a new one sorted now.
Absolutely love the leaves they look fab ? well done for being creative, definitely better than paying £5 each!

Rebeccafcr - If the m&m's are sealed in bags then you'll be fine to pop them into the boxes now as they'll stay fresh. Providing the lids of your jars are completely air tight then a week before would be fine ?
Hope your appointment goes ok...
I think it's normal to panic, I don't think your list is too bad though. Weird Internet hug for you ?
Is there anyone you can delegate a few tasks too?

Morning everyone,

Blimey yesterday was busy!

So as promised, here's all about my hen do...

It was fantastic ??
We all had an absolute blast and so many giggles! We left home at 1pm Friday and were at the camp site with the tent up and prosecco opened by 2:30pm ... and I put the tent up myself!




Friday was nice and quiet, we went for a swim and made good use of the jacuzzi's and sauna. Had a lovely meal in the on-site restaurant and finished off the night drinking champagne that my bridesmaid brought along.
Then came the rain ⛈⛈⛈
Naturally it stopped at 3am but that left me with only 4 hours sleep ☹️
Still I didn't let that stop me!
Saturday we went to a lovely little place that had butterfly zoo, a hedge maze and mini golf. It was so much fun, especially loved the butterflies as they were landing on us sending my maid of honour into a hissy fit ?
This is us posing in the hedge maze...









We finished off Saturday with another lovely swim, before going for a scrummy dinner at a cute local pub.
Sunday we trotted off into Cardiff and did some shopping.
I'd been saying for ages that I wanted to learn how to do my make-up properly so myself and the girls went to Boots and had a make-over at the N07 counter. The lady there could not have been more lovely if she tried, she showed me how to apply everything properly and gave me loads of free samples. Still ended up spending £70 though ?
We then went TGI Fridays for dinner and cocktails.
Safe to say we're all absolutely pooped and want to do it all again!
❤️❤️❤️

Sounds like you had the best time LMP! Also the weather was on your side for the most of it which is awesome. £70 at the 07 counter is nothing. I can just spend that looking at benefit makeup! Ha! The maze sounds awesome! I wanna go! Take me please hehe!

The dreams in having are like the sword in the stone, in the bit where merlin helps Arther tidy up and everything going away, like that, just dancing around. It's pretty mental but they will be over soon right! Either that or I'm having flower dreams for the rest of my life hahah.

Do do you have much on your list left to do? I've spied a few outfits I want to buy. I have a few weddings next year so I may treat myself to them, or I may use them for nice nights on our honeymoon wherever that may be haha.

I purchased the girls pettitcoats last night, just waiting for them to arrive and then I'll get the girls to try them on and see. Hopefully they fit but only time shall tell. Hehe.

Stephied - those leaves look amazing! Definitely a lot better than paying £5 per leaf for! I swear weddings are just ridiculous for price!

Rebecca - glad that you got the seamstress sorted!! ??

Morning ?
It really was awesome, we all had a great time and bar the rain on Friday we had good weather.
My MOH suggested Benefit but I figured N07 was more my price range plus everything was buy one get one half price ?
This is where we went, there was a lovely tea room there too ?
http://www.exploregloucestershire.co.uk/page702.asp

I love Sword In The Stone!! I'm always miffed that my house can't tidy itself like that ? I'm sure the flower related dreams will go away, we're all due wedding dreams soon I reckon ...

Ooh definitely treat yourself to new outfits, you have good occasions coming up so why not!
Fingers crossed the petticoats are ok ?

My list now:
Decide on sweets for the sweetie buffet (almost done)
Have OH's and best man's shirts dry cleaned
Sort out flat shoes for MOH & BM
Follow pampering schedule

That can't be it??

Ooh finally found a link for my evening shoes ...
http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-wide-fit/wide-fit-silver-metallic-pointed-pumps_350107991

Ah your hen do sounds fab LMP, I'm glad you had a good time! Sounds like the girls gave you a really good send off too ?

Lui - I am having mental wedding dreams, like where my dress is filthy or the make up artist doesn't turn up, or another one I had I couldn't find my dress and had to wear some beige suit trousers I have for work ?? ? Are yours wedding related too or just strange?

Just been and picked up our honeymoon travel docs squee!! Sorted out one visa today, will have a go at tackling the India one this evening, been putting it off for so long but really need to get it done now!

I just cannot concentrate in work this week at all! Is anyone else the same? Starting to get REALLY excited for everything now ?

Thank you, it was really great ?
I haven't had any strange wedding dreams for a little while but I must admit yours made me chuckle!
Ooh exciting times, where are you going on your honeymoon again (apart from India)? Hope you manage to get the otehr visa sorted.
I know what you mean about being too excited to work!!

LMP - We're going to Sri Lanka first, that visa took about 5 minutes this morning. We're doing a trek whilst we're there where we go and see elephants and temples and things, then for the second week we go to Goa for the relaxy beach bit. I'm SO excited, we're really not very well travelled at all so this will be a real adventure for us! Can't wait!

Where are you off to lovely? (sorry if you've already said, my memory is awful and this thread is huge ha ha)

Wow Stephied that sounds incredible!! Please take loads of pictures ?
Well we weren't originally having a honeymoon as we're going away next year, but my parents have revealed that they've booked us a mini moon in York. I absolutely love York so I'm really excited that I'll get to show OH all my favourite places.

My favours are on a budget. My whole wedding is really so as cheap as poss :-P

We don't have a strong theme really, but our table names etc are Italian cities as we met in Italy. I looked into maybe tying in the favour with that (but everything I saw was too pricey!)

I think I'm having one of the simplest weddings ever haha... reading all your posts I'm starting to panic! My to do list is fairly lengthy...

-Finalise seating plan and do it

-Get a hair piece for me (having hair trial on Thursday this week so need to decide and decide if having a veil!)

-Hairpiece and shrug/cardi for flowergirl

-Centre pieces (have the jars, just all need washing and decorating)

-Name cards need writing

-Guestbook and postbox

-Shoes for my sons

Think that's everything, but I'm sure I've missed something. I'm the most disorganised bride haha!

Hope everyone is getting excited... I should have come on here more often :-)

Rach xx

Cheer up!!!

thats special dayy

Hm could you maybe go with some Italian style chocolates? Or have your favours in red, green and white colours?
Aw don't panic lovely, you still have loads of time. Try checking off a job every day/every other day and you'll soon get through it. If in doubt, delegate ?

This would go with the Italian table names.

So me and OH just completing our ESTA's for our honeymoon, luckily both accepted in the USA, I thought id email our hotel in Las Vegas, it the 5 star Trump international, I've just had a response and they have upgraded us to top floor suite overlooking the strip! eeeek! she's also let the attendant know we are on our honeymoon when we check in! so excited!

OH is on his stag do in London this weekend and I'm having a "mini' hen do. My 9 yr old niece was upset she couldn't come on my hen do so were having a hen do at my sisters house with friends girls, we've got make up, nail varnish, hair glitter and making cocktails

Hi Guys

Wow the feed is crazy at the moment! I'm only sorry I didn't get more involved in the forums earlier in my preparations

I have been having some weird, weird dreams. There is usually some wedding related disaster, the last one was about our BM dying. I woke up and was so relieved that it was only a dream.

My robe arrived today, it says 'Soon to be Mrs Mills'. I love it!

The wedding morning playlist is great. I found all the songs I could related to marriage old and new. I loved doing it and I know I will love listening to it.

I have finally heard from my seamstress and have a fitting on the day of my hen. I was waiting for her to make contact and now the dates are running out. On the plus side I am having my penultimate fitting 3 weeks before the wedding so it should be easier to maintain my weight between the fitting date and the wedding.

I am soooo excited and waiting for the time to speed up but it hasn't yet ... I'm sure it will towards the end.

Has anyone else had people asking for an invitation or requesting their evening invitation be upgraded to a day one? I find it unbelievable! I am so glad that our lists are finally, finalised. Let's hope everyone holds it together for the next 5.5 weeks and there are not more changes.

I can't wait to see the flashes as the wedding days start to arrive, so cool.

rachhj33 - Have you thought of making limoncello? It's fairly cheap to do.

Lui - I love that skull, very Halloween. Did you decorate them yourselves?

Miss Lynx - So sorry about your BM. I hope you sort things out so that they are the way you want them to be.

LMP - 17 days to goo! OMG, that is sooo exciting!

Stephied9384 - The leaves are inspired, what a great idea. I am also asthmatic and am yet to spray paint some letters. I am going to use a mask and hope for the best. I am determined to make a speech in a calm and composed manner. I will talk about how we met, how much life has changed, thank various people and say very slushy things about my OH.

Cheers

BJNL xx

Morning all,

Sorry i was quiet yesterday.

Let me have a catch up.

LMP – buy one get one half price is always a bargain. Wish they did that in benefit!

That place looks amazing! I may saunter down, i mean it is only the next county down so may be worth the drive hehe.

Me too, i wish i had a self cleaning house or magic or even animals that clean. It’s not fair, Disney portray a life that is not attainable cleaning wise hehe!

I did, I will find the links and show you which ones i purchased when I find them, it may be a bit later in the day though.

I’m hoping the petticoats are ok too! Hehe! If not, mum may have to do some tweaking but we shall see hehe!

That list is getting shorter and I love it, I remember that I need to go to the jewellers and get my ring cleaned and dipped. I know they can do it in a week but it’s one of the only weekends I’m free where I can drop it in.

Those evening shoes are so cute!!

Stephied – Its crazy with the dreams, your sound so crazy. My dreams are normally mental but the wedding ones are so odd, dreamt that my best friend didn’t come to my wedding, dreamt that people walked out during the ceremony and that people to the evening turned up for the day and refused to leave.

I can never concentrate at work, haha! I’m useless but right now I’m really not concentrating at all this month, so much to do and so little time hahah!

Rachj33 – I agree with LMP get some Italian sweets or something to give as favours. All the Italian weddings I’ve seen/been too (big Italian family) they love sugared almonds, I know they are not the best but they can fit and im sure you can pick them up pretty cheap.

Your list isn’t massive, its doable and thats the best way to think about it lovely. Its doable!

MrsFRtobe – YEY thats exciting!! Cant wait to hear about it when you come back!! Hope you have fun on your mini hen and your OH has fun on his stag do!

BJNL – You’ve inspired me and my MOH to make a playlist of all the music we love. Haha! Its so mixed but I love it. Ohhhhhhh is your hoodie nice and comfy and thick? I hope it is, nothing better than a hoodie like that!

For some reason I thought I dreamt about your post and the seamstress thing, but I didn’t, thats good that you are booked in so close fingers crossed it all goes so well for you.

I didn’t paint the skulls myself, my friend did but I’m paying her in fizz and flowers! She deserves it from all the hard work she has done with them.

MrsFRtobe - Oh my gosh, lucky you getting a swanky upgrade! That sounds amazing ?
Your mini hen do sounds lovely hope you all have a great time.

BJNL - Uh-oh I've heard wedding dreams can get really weird, hopefully you won't any more the once about your BM sounds horrible.
Ooh is that the robe that you flashed a pic of before? If so it looked lovely ?
You've got most of us making 'morning of' playlists now, you started a trend!
Glad you managed to pin your seamstress down (pun indeed), that's one thing less to worry about now.
Trust me time will whizz by so quick you'll be demanding a Tardis ?

Lui - I can't afford things that are full price at the moment, who knew weddings were so expensive!!
I'll meet you there and race you to the centre of the maze ?

Yay for a shorter list!
I had my ring and charm bracelet cleaned and dipped a few weeks ago, and picked them up last week. They look brand new I'm so pleased with them. Not wearing them now until the wedding to keep them all shiny.

Right ladies I need some advice.
I tried on my wedding ring last night and it fits perfectly. However when I put my engagement ring on top it seriously hurts!
But if I put my wedding ring on top of my engagement ring it doesn't hurt at all, but I don't think it looks right.
What do I do??
