    Right that's the favour boxes finished as far as I can for now :)

    I've just wrote everyone's menu choices on the back of their place names so they don't forget what they ordered :)

    Was gonna varnish our mr & mrs signs but can't find the varnish, so that will have to wait.

    I've wrote a list if to do's again, and wrote the rooms that have been booked and which guests are in them:)

    Getting there :)

    Have fun!

    Not so much happening here atm.

    Looks like there's only 5 on my hen night (including me!)

    Most of my friends are either working, can't get sitters or live too far away to be bothered to come down twice in one month.
    Still it'll be small but fun.

    It's very nearly May ladies :D

    I'm thinking of getting a ring cushion since I have some money spare. Just trying to think of what I have got left to do. When would be best to email suppliers to double check what time they are arriving?

    Was with 3 mates last night and they were saying they can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I got married. Time flies, enjoy these moments and days leading up to the wedding, they precious and magical xxx

    Getting closer, you sound busy Teresa.

    Slight dilemma on our side, best man informed us today he can't come!!!

    Of all people! He's a freelance actor and offered 3 weeks work in s.africa ending on our wedding day, he won't make it in time...

    P***ed off is an understatement. H2B is asking his cousin to be his best person instead, she's like a big sister to him anyway. But having paid flights, suit, gifts, venue/meal (@£80pp) ect already I'm tempted to send the bill to ex-best man and ask if the pay he gets for his last minute contract covers this, and was it worth it.

    Leasa; sorry you are having trouble :(

    I am too; two guests have dropped out; one being our page boy with just over a week before the wedding. Parents didn't tell us; only found out over book of face.

    Hope everything gets sorted for us both :)

    Oh no mrsmalin!

    I was annoyed when I first found out. But luckily I'm not the type of person who holds on to anger for long...

    I re-jigged the table plan, I contacted the flower lady to swap a button hole from best man to a female pin on corsage.

    Sorted!

    Your day will be fantastic regardless of the last minute hic-ups. X

    I wish I was like that; I can hold on to grudges and anger for a long time but as my sister and mum said; the people who want to be there will be there and as long as my close friends and family are there then sod the rest..

    Even if I am now £70 out of pocket...I'll probably still give the 'page boy' his gifts as it is not his fault that his parents are useless and he was really looking forward to it a was his step sister..

    At least you managed to get yours swapped Leasa :)

    so i get married in 18 days - had the most amazing hen weekend just got back - 12 of us in a lodge in cornwall - burlesque dancing experience, flow rider surfing simulator, hot tubbing, and lots of games and good food - only little thing was couldn't drink as found out i was pregnant last week! Managed to keep secret on hen do as am on antibiotics for kidney infection. However, maybe slightly tricky finding an excuse for the wedding!
