    The centrepieces are all bought and OH would definitely not want what i wanted. Believe me I tried every compromise to get something similar. I wanted candelabras. OH is a very modern person and just didn't want it at all. It will be ok on the day.

    I do like what we have chosen but it wouldn't be my first choice

    You have helped me put my foot down, I will make sure that my aunt isnt staying in my room the night before the wedding. One way or another I will get my way on this one (Gosh I sound horrible!!!) If the start of the day can be how I want it then it will put me in a good mood for the rest. Im sure i will be floating on air anyway but you get what i mean.

    The only reason you think you are being mean is because you accommodate people far too often. You are not mean at all and I think the fact that you do always think of others first your mum will see it is something really important to you.

    It's great your OH has been so good and it is difficult to compromise when you both have different ideas about what you want, so definitely ensure you have the morning YOU want - it will definitely help x

    We're just happy to help Emily - sometimes you need a little encouragement (and to know you're not being unreasonable)

    At the end of the day, it is just one day- it will fly by and at the end of it, no matter how it goes - you will be married and can just move on to the being man and wife xx

    On an exciting note - My dress is in my wardrobe!! I went this morning for my final fitting and all was good, so I got to bring it home! I am still worried I will look like a whale in a skirt. The ladies in the boutique were gushing about how lovely I look- but that's what their supposed to do right?? Hopefully on the day though with the magic of the H&MU girls, I won't look too bad!

    Emily, you're far from being a bridezilla and your sister saw it too! Sometimes we just need reassurance and that's what we're all here for!

    Wundatigga, it's getting very close now! I'm sure you will look beautiful in your dress. As much as the staff are meant to be reassuring, it would also be in their best interests to sell you something that looks lovely on you as that could be the difference between a good review and a bad review.

    Has anyone heard of w3dd1ng r1ng$ d1r3ct? Have left it until now to sort wedding rings out and have just found out I need a shaped wedding ring! I've looked at the high street and they don't have anything suitable.

    Wundatigga, I really hope you don't feel like that, you won't look like whale at all! You can generally tell when there is a fake smile and I am sure they would have been all business if they thought anything different than you looking stunning xx

    Mrs T, not sure where you live but if you are near Birmingham or Hatton Gardens it is worth going to the jewellery district for a look, even if it is to work out what kind of shape works best. My original engagement ring was a standard solitaire but it was set too low so I ended up getting my stone put in a new band (not suggesting you do that) from white gold to platinum. The lady in Hatton Gardens did it for me overnight so I wasn't without my ring for long. I am going back there to get my wedding band, they make them there as they normally sell to shops so you get a good discount and you design it exactly how you want it. Hope you get it sorted x

    hi everyone i hope planning is going well!

    Wundatigga, if they didn't like the dress and how it looks on you I don't think they would have even said anything so definitely take that compliment!

    I'm slightly panicking about how much I have to do now as I've just noticed we have only 7 weekend until the wedding (2 of those we are away on holiday and on another 2 I have dress fittings and the wedding rehearsal which leaves us only 3 free weekend from now until the wedding to get everything done! (I work mon-fri and my partner works on sundays so saturday is our only productive day).

    No idea how I'm going to get it all done.

    Mrs T, definitely look at the jewellery quarter in brim. Ours are standard shaped bands but we're custom made and are brilliant.

    I live in Surrey so I was going to go to Hatton gardens but oh wasn't having any of it!

    I went bridezilla on him today about it! He doesn't want to pay too much money. The engagement ring is platinum so the metal really needs to match. I had my heart set on diamonds going around the band but because of his budget and his "mum doesn't have diamonds" on her wedding band, I have made a compromise. Well not a compromise, I gave up having to explain thats what I wanted! Anyhow, today I got a few online quotes and found one from w3dd1ng r1ng$ d1r3ct and the reply I got was "don't trust websites". At this point I just blew up and said to him I've got 3 choices. We either get the very expensive and unguaranteed prospect of me not having a ring on the day, we order the ring online or we go to Hatton. Another option is that I get a standard wedding band and I wear my engagement ring on another finger. Apparently I'm awful for suggesting such a thing! At that i shouted an expletive and hung up on him!

    After that he sent me a text to say that he will support me in whatever I decide to do! Really don't know what goes on in his head sometimes! He did suggest giving me my engagement ring on the day and get a wedding band afterwards if its not made in time but I feel this would look stupid and not what I want. (Wow bridezilla or what!)

    Sorry for the rant ladies. Must admit, I feel a bit better for letting it out!

    Thanks for the kind words everyone

    Mrs T I got my bridal set from a jewelers who are based in London but ordered through their website (called @ G & 50n5) and I must say their service has been fabulous- even to the point that I lost one of my accent diamonds before I'd even had it a year and it cost my just the recorded post back to them to have it replaced.

    If you find exactly what you want, it might be cutting it fine for it to be back for the wedding (depending on your ring size and its availability) so OH giving you your engagement ring on the day is not the worse idea (I know some people have engagement style rings as wedding rings anyway). The other option would be just to get a low cost band for the day but this could lose it's meaning if your quite sentimental?

    I have also known other people who have bought a brand new full bridal set so that their rings fit perfectly together?

    I hope you find something you like soon and OH keeps his promise to support you.

    Omg, you guys are soooo close! hahaha Reading things like "Getting married in 2/5 weeks" lol

    Wundatigga, don't be silly, lady! I'm sure you will look (and feel!) just amazing on your dress. :D

    Mrs T, I hope you find a good solution for your ring. Personally, my wedding band kind of needed to be shaped, but I've decided for a normal band. My engagement ring is white gold 14k, and my wedding band is a plain yellow gold 18k. Almost two years on and I haven't noticed any sort of demage or anything like that. Even though they are different colours and materials, they go very well together I still smile every time I spot them on my finger. Hopefully you'll find a good solution for your wedding ring.

    I have been soooo lazy lately. I'm still on candle #18 (need to make 30 and only have one mould). Still need to work on my bouquet, do some trials on my hair and makeup... so many small things to do and I don't seem to find my inspiration. I know I still have four months, but I need to have everything sorted. Still no news on my chair covers, I found two vendors on the b00k 0f f@ce but they haven't replied yet, and I am freaking out! Had a nightmare that my brother sent his wrong measurements for his suit and when I arrived at the church, he was there with short thigh jackets, horrible lol

    Mrs T I would go for what you want. This ring will be on your finger for the rest of your life.
    As for the day maybe get a basic band for the day and the. Swap when yours comes in. Not sure if your having a church but you could get the vicar to bless your new ring after the wedding when you get it.
    Is there a family ring you could possibly use?

    Went for my fitting yesterday and I still need a bit taking in on the bum and boobs, I need to stop losing weight now, so will be going back in 3 weeks for another fitting hopefully it will be perfect then. However I tried it on with all of my accessories, the full and complete outfit and my daughter said I looked beautiful which means a lot. I felt beautiful too, and played about with my hair a bit and decided half up/half down suits the outfit best (I was dead set on a undo) so now I need some clip-ins to thicken it up a bit.

    I can't wait to see my other half faces when he sees me.

    I can officially apply for my wedding license today too as we are 60 days away.

    I really need to start thinking about the holiday aspect of the trip as I have no clothes to take for a week in Vegas hahahaha its all been about the wedding, this time in 8 weeks we will be airborne e route Vegas baby :-D

    Mrs T, see if you can speak to my lady, she should give you a good deal if you tell her you were recommended by Lesley - say she replaced my white gold ring to a platinum one just after the wedding show. The company name is H@nnah R0s3 in Hatton Gardens. very good service and pretty cheap x

    Nicole, if at least your other bits are done you should be ok the week of the wedding, have you got anyone else that can help in the week?

    my boxes for kids pack have arrived today so will maybe get those done when i get home if h2b managed to pinch a cardboard box from work and that will be one thing crossed off :) x

    sorry i sound like a right whinge just getting close and stressful! Cannot wait for my week away in 3 weeks time x

    Hey ladies, I only come on here once every month or so, so exciting seeing alot of your times coming down to weeks instead of months!!

    Read a few posts on here, Emily are you feeling better this week, your post made me so sad for you!! At the end of the day you will be married to H2B and that's all that matters when it comes down to it <3

    Mrs T Hurley 2 Be, i wouldn't trust a website like that for rings either. Can you just get your dream ring on finance? I have white gold with diamonds going around the front half and it was £1000, platinum was about £1500 for the same thing, but i made mine over 6 months to spread the cost out. Obviously depends where its from, clarity, cut etc. Its a ring your going to wear forever so you shouldn't settle, you have to look at it everyday and you wouldnt want to think oh i wish it was the other one i really wanted xx

    Emily, Family are the worst! I just imagine that people have more willing bridesmaids and family than me, we are clearly all int he same boat!

    I am so frantic trying to get everything sorted, everyone keeps saying there is plenty of time but there really isn't. I don't have a free weekend now before the wedding. I still have a UK venue and everything that goes with that, bridesmaid dress 9only 1 which you would think would be easy!) his suite (that is doing my head in), rings, and after we get the UK venue I can start sorting the invites. They are still not done and I am getting stressed that its not going to get done.

    MrsC, good to see you :) how is married life treating you?

    The reason I looked online was oh said £600 was too expensive for a plain band! It was a platinum band and so I said that I thought it was a good price. When I tried it on it didn't look right with my engagement ring (to me at least!) And so I have gone for a bespoke ring which is more expensive but like a couple of you have said, I'm the one wearing it! I've decided that he is not to pay anything towards the ring and I will get it myself. That way he can't say anything about it! I went with a local independent jewellers so that then I can just go down the road. It's also round the corner from my work. I live in Surrey so H@tt0n g@rd3n is a bit out of the way for me! But thank you all for your suggestions!

    My ohs mother said I could have her mother (ohs grandmother) wedding ring but it's a gold ring and I don't wear any gold. All my jewellery is silver, except my engagement ring which is platinum.

    I just hope the ring returns to the jewellers in time!

    My signoff above says that I'm getting married in a month - I'm sure it's not that close! I was looking forward to seeing the 7 week countdown!

    Wundatigga, yours will be here before we know it!

    I had to cancel our venue meeting and taster due to being in hospital and our planner is now on holiday so need to reschedule but cant. Its a pain.

    I did manage to get to the appt to see mine and my sisters dress together which was amazing. I was a bit upset that they told me I shouldnt use my moms hoop as it isnt strong enough for my dress and collapsed :( I'll have to hire one of their steel ones. Need a new something old and borrowed now!

    Aww no Emily. So sorry to hear you've been unwell again. I really hope the meds pick up for you. And such a shame about your Mum's hoop too :(

    I keep going into my wardrobe and stroking my dress... she feels so lovely, the top layer is almost like velvet. I really can't wait to wear her next week

    Mine says 3 weeks, even though it's 3 weeks and 6 days!!!! Having quite a few wedding dreams for the past few days. Nothing goes wrong in them though so fingers crossed it stays like that in real life!!

    Hope you feel better soon Emily!

    Wundatigga, I would be doing the exact same thing!

    I am glad the shop has stored mine for that reason. When it was at my mom and dads i was always getting it out to look at it!

    Going to the church tonight to arrange our banns to be read etc :)

    It is exciting for all you ladies. My dress will be in my hand luggage when I collect mine so I can't touch it. Good job too lol x

    I had a productive lunch break.
    Picked up my passport application
    Printed the PD2 form to change my name before married
    Called the suit hire to get an extra tie for my sisters OH (he isnt part of the bridal party but wanted to wear a tie to match her dress)
    Called the dress shop to arrange OHs waistcoat alterations - She has said for him to call her direct and arrange it

    And i had lunch :):)

    That's really productive Emily x

    My one bridesmaid has now told me she isn't sure if she is coming to the wedding now! I understand her reason in that her husband might not be able to afford it with it being so close that Christmas but my dates haven't changed. I feel unreasonable asking for her to confirm but it's hard because I don't know if I will have a bridesmaid or not now. I'm having such a small wedding which I was fine with when she was coming but now it looks like it will just be family
