Hope that works. I'm on my phone so it's a bit hit and miss!

Also can someone PM me? I want to be part of the FB gang

Annamolly - your shoot is so cute! You and your OH are so cute together.

Ive sent you and BJNL my link and I can add you to the OM group too x

Cheers lovely. On the shoot I was just trying to stop myself from bursting out laughing the whole time. I don't really do the mushy in-love look!

Thanks for the link. I'll have to log in on my laptop later as God knows how I'll find it on my phone...

So im freaking out that we get married this month!! Can’t believe it’s here already!!

If anyone wants to PM me their links I can add them to Facebook and to the OM group thats been created!!

Annamolly – You don’t look like your trying not to laugh which is good, you look really natural! I’m sad there’s no ANTM poses though! Maybe on the wedding day? Hehe!

Haha, I'm saving those for the wedding

Ooh, it's all gone quiet as the weddings approach!

I can't wait to break up from work next week, I'm not being very productive at the moment!

this weekends brides, you are probably so busy and bursting with excitement. Thinking of you all!

xx

Sorry Ladies I’ve been so busy lately.

Side note from the weddings, I didn’t get into the London Marathon, bit gutted but what can you do! Annamolly, did you get in at all?

We’ve had a situation where we have had to take the guest list down recently for the evening to £140 people.

Someone who was meant to go to OH stag dropped out after the flights were purchased, not a problem, we got someone to take his place so it was agreed that the new person paid for flights and the old person paid for the name change. So alls fair. However the old person is now completely ignoring OH and his BM. To the point where we have to take money out of our honeymoon fund that we have scrimped to save to pay half of the name change fee with the BM because this person is ignoring everyone.

I’m so fuming its ridiculous, so OH has told them that unless he pays he is not welcome at the wedding, this means that another group won’t turn up, so to save hassle we took their places and exchanged them for money behind the bar for the day people.

I’m pretty angry right now, hense this rant!

However on the side note, my engagement ring is back from being cleaned and redipped which is nice and I found my something old.

Hows everyone else? Please tell me someone has some cheerier news?

Also ladies, we have made an OM group on Facebook, anyone who wants to join, here the link:

Bless ya! What unnecessary stress at this stage!

No news from me really.

OH half having a major stress over his speech. I've had to help him write it. He had the day off and I came home at lunch to see him and he'd only written a line!

I've helped him with the structure and some of the wording, but told him he's on his own for writing nice things about me!

I'm at the stage or sorting out bringing everything from my mums to my house ready for next weekend.

oh, and #weddingweatherwatch partly cloudy with afternoon sun at the mo...

I'm getting obsessed with checking the weather! I'm gonna drive myself crazy!

x

Thanks lovely I’m just going to grump out tonight and then be over it tomorrow. Your right it’s the one last thing we all need this close to the wedding.

Oh no, poor OH, I hope he’s more clam now that you have helped him structure it. Hopefully he writes some lovely things in the speech about you.

Have you numbered your boxes? I know that what alot of us are doing.

Ohhhh fingers crossed it moves from cloudy to clear. Sounds like some good weather. I want to check mine but too far away. I envision rain allllllllllllllll day for me haha.

Hopefully he will, he's not very good at public speaking, bless him!

Well, my future sister in law tagged me on FB in an article about the hurricane in the US causing havoc in the UK from the 10th Oct.. I was like ?

But, hopefully not. I just put that article down to the usual press weather scaremongering!

Numbering the boxes, do you mean the favour boxes or the big boxes with stuff to take to the venue?

I'm dreading trying to sort it all into some kind of order!

xx

The boxes that will go to the venue lovely, did you go with the numbering idea?

I think its scaremongering, I’ve seen loads of articles where its going to be the wettest October, then the hottest October. Right now weather is really hard to predict so i wouldn’t worry about it.

You’ll be able to sort everything in time. I have faith in you lovely.

Good idea re numbering

xx

The girls at work... are doing some whispering again! Like before my hen! Plotting something... not sure what!

Love these girls!

x

Ohhhh sneaky!

I was forced out of my office so they could talk earlier. That worries me as I know what they are all like

Hi Ladies!!

I have been completely MIA throughout these last few months, I have been keeping up with you guys and your plans are looking amazing!

Can you guys believe we are finally in October!! The 25th Cant come fast enough for me

Iv pretty much got everything sorted after WAY TOO MANY hiccups. Everything was going so well and smooth until about 4 weeks ago when everything started going t**ts up, from my dress having to be altered significantly, my caters lying to me about hidden costs, the venue sending me a very rude email and then today for the women who runs the bar telling me she has lost my payment! I have been pulling my hair out! But hopefully it is all sorted now and I dont need to worry about anything else going wrong! Hopefully!!!

I did manage to book us a little mini moon to Dublin after the wedding as a surprise for my H2B we are unable to go away for a full honeymoon due to our work commitments so one night away it is but we both adore Dublin and I cant wait to go and just be alone as husband and wife

Anyway here are a few flashes just for you guys - I finally found the perfect flower girl dress and it looks stunning with my bridesmaids dresses.

A very rough moc up of my centre pieces (Very bad picture I know)

I am also having Mason jars around the venue filled with just Gyp as well.

OH Got his suit and he looks so handsome in it

AlmostMrsS I love those flashes. Looks like to all coming along nicely. Do you mind me asking where you got your OHs ring from? Mine is looking for one exactly like thy but can't seem to find one he likes.

Lui - sorry to hear about the guest situation, that's rubbish. I did not get into the London marathon unfortunately which I'm actually a little bit relieved about! I've got a 10k race at the weekend and I don't know how I'm going to manage that let alone do a marathon. I did get a a snazzy London marathon running top though so it's not all bad ?

AnnaMolly - Hi of course not its from Ernest Jones (link below) it is absolutely stunning in person. The quality is amazing and it is well worth the money especially if your OH doesn't want anything too flashy and something that is really durable

Hi ladies, I'm so sorry I haven't been able to catch up with you all properly its been all systems go!
I will catch up with you properly when I get back from my mini moon
Sparkly Bear & Cornish Bride I hope you both have fantastic days

Signing off as a Miss now!

LMP, OH MY GOD THE EXCITEMENT!!!

I hope you have a fabulous day

Oh and thanks AlmostMrsS that is just what my OH is after. I'll show him later.

Work is manic and I am exhausted hence not being on here

however I wanted to send love and best wishes to those getting married TOMORROW!!

To all the girls getting married tomorrow and on Sunday, hope you all have a wonderful day. Looking forward to hearing all about it x

Hi Guys

It has gone a little quiet now the weddings have started, it's strange to hear less about LMP, Sparkly Bear and Cornish Bride. I miss them a little ...

Today is a very exciting day for me. I'm off to my usual 90 minute Spin class. Lui and Anna Molly I used to run but kept getting injured so now my cardio is Spinning. I love it! Then I have to go and exchange my OH's cake topper as he only has one ear, poor thing. I have my penultimate dress fitting and THEN IT"S MY HEN!!!!! We are going to Salsa the night away in Bar Salsa in London. We have booked a booth for the night and they are up to something as they have been emailing ... I'm a little nervous ...

Lui - I hope all is sorted now re guests. Nightmare ... One of our all day guests is having an op two days before the wedding and wants to confirm the day before. We have to pay for the guest meals in the next week but I don't want to be mean and say we can't accommodate her ... You can get forecasts a month in advance but they are just a guide. I put 'forecast for 24 Oct 2015' into Google and found some sights. One says rain and the other doesn't so I like the site that forecasts sunshine! Sorry about your marathon place I know they are hard to come by. I got a place twice and had to pull out twice because of injury

Rebeccafcr - Hope OH's speech is OK now. Everyone will be rooting for him on the day so I'm sure he will do just fine. Everyone says that the pressure is on the best man anyway but I think you have a sympathetic audience at weddings anyway. No hurricanes please!!!!

AlmostMrsS - We are date twins!! There are three of us getting married on that day I think, exciting!!! So sorry to hear about your caterer, dress and venue. You just don't need it. Is is all sorted now? Dublin sounds nice, I loved it when I went there.

Miss Lynx - I feel your pain, work is so full on it's killing me. Having the wedding in the back of my mind keeps me positive and sane.

Well ladies have fun what ever you are up to. Must run or I'll be late for my class.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! 18 days!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Hope everyone getting married today is having a beautiful day x

Thanks lovely! We sorted it!

I will try to google option for the date see what they predict at the moment. I know we can't control the weather but anything but rain would be nice! However I have thought about rain and have umbrellas for us.

Spin is good, however it's not for me, can never get into it, don't know why. Hope your injury doesn't flare up too much for you. I know how much of a pain it can be.

How was your hen weekend? Was it good? Did you enjoy it?

Firsttimebride - eeeep not long! I'm on 27 days! Just want it to hurry up and be here now! So close yet so far!

Hi Guys

Strange to think that LMP, Sparkly Bear and Cornish Bride are all OMs now!! I thought of Cornish Bride today as the weather in London was lovely and I wondered what it was like there. I can't wait to see the flashes.

First time bride - Is it 17 days now? Eeeekkk!!! Excited for you I'm onto 20 sleeps now and like you say Lui, I'm done waiting now. It's dragging and it isn't, time is so weird.

Lui - I have bought umbrellas just in case. If I need one it would be nice to coordinate with my dress! Like you say we won't really know until nearer the time. I just hope it's dry and a bright day would be a bonus. Rain would be a shame but it won't spoil my day or stop me motoring up the aisle towards my OH.

My dress is perfect, a perfect fit. I just love it and can't wait to wear it. It's very flattering and just so pretty. I had what turned out to be my final fitting yesterday so we're good to go.

I exchanged the groom cake topper so now my OH has two ears in the right place! They are so cute.

My hen was OK. It was pretty tame and over in a flash. It was nice to see everyone but I just hope the wedding goes a little slower than that. It was the quickest 5 hours of my life.

I thought that too this morning. I saw some of sparkly bears photos on Facebook and she looked amazing! Absolutely stunning! Can't wait until I get to see the other ladies and hear all about them. I can't believe the first lot of ladies are now married. It's crazy! Not long for you now lovely!

Im making sure it won't stop me either. We will have an awesome day no matter of the weather! It's just another exciting aspect.

Glad to hear that your dress fits perfectly! Is it home with you now? Or are you waiting until it's nearer to pick it up?

Ohhh what are you having as the toppers?

Glad to hear you had fun at your hen! Just on the final countdown now!

Woo

Im just home from THE most amazing hen weekend, the manor house was amazing and we had loads of fun making our knickers, the night out on york was fab..its going to take me a week to recover!

Looks like so much fun lovely!! ??

Well I can't believe we're three down already! What a gorgeous weekend they had for it too, fingers crossed this HURRICANE style weather p!sses off by the weekend!

Don't think I'll get anything done in work today and tomorrow, just want to be sat at home dreaming about the wedding! Everything is officially done now too, just need to get through several beauty appointments before Friday and then that's it!

Aw have you all seen LMP's quick flash? She looked absolutely amazing, hope the others have some little flashes for us too (I'm so nosy ha ha!)

Mrs FRtobe your hen party looked so much fun!

Lui, how are you getting on lovely?

How is everyone else getting on? xx
