What do you think of these readings im pretty certain the one if you can always be as close is getting used but not sure about the other one, My friend sent me it and she said that its similar to what I said to her when she was having her baby 'remember your an individual as well as a with not just a mother' is what I said to her.
A Walled Garden 'Your marriage' he said 'should have within it, a secret and protected place, open to you alone. Imagine it to be a walled garden, entered by a door to which only you hold the key. Within this garden, you will cease to be a mother, father, employee, homemaker or any other of the roles which you fulfill in everyday life. Here you are yourselves, two people who love each other. Here you can concentrate on one another's needs.' So take my hand and let us go back to our garden. The time we spend together is not wasted but invested. Invested in our future and the nurture of our love. Anon
If You Can Always Be As Close by Larry S. Chengges
If you can always be as close And as happy as today, Yet be secure enough to grow And change along the way. If you can keep for you alone Your love as man and wife, Yet find the time to share your joy With others in your life. If you can be as one And walk through marriage hand in hand, Yet still support the goals and dreams That each of you have planned. If you can dare to always go Your separate ways together, Then all the wonder of today Will stay with you forever

Oh big hugs Amanda, I'm sure it will all come together,take deep breaths and maybe do 1 or 2 jobs a day/ night or whenever you have time, I was like this and then decided to just take one step at a time, it's easier Said than done though and it can be very stressful, hope it will all come together for you, lots of love xxx
Try not to panic as that will make the situation seem a whole lot worse than it is.
Is the placement full time? do you work at other times too?
Im just about to go through everything and see what we still need to do as its more than likely we will be moving very soon.

Hi Ladies Well less than 6 weeks to go now, think I'm mostly sorted and got myself a little notebook that I can carry in every handbag etc so all my lists are in one place, now they're getting shorter. Last night was the first night in quite a while that I could not sleep properly for thinking of things still to be done. So have woken up quite tired today and a bit emotional, plus my stomach has the worst butterflies (caterpillars really) and getting a bad tummy ache from it :-( Think it must be as it's my hen do the end of this week.
Yesterday was quite a tense day as well as it was FA Cup semi-final and Liverpool who my fiancé supports lost, but it's actually worked out better he's realized as wouldn't want to lose on our wedding day. Plus now he won't be doubly nervous!! Leasa I really feel for you as up to now I had back up plans for a tv screen being set up near the bar and having to cut photos by half an hour so the meal would be finished in time. I believe that the tv in the pub yesterday said that kick off is 5pm though so you may be ok. We're wedding twins as our ceremonies are both 1pm on 30th May!!!!
Think it's time for another cuppa to get me through today and persuade me to go to the gym after work! Ugh men have it so much easier for wedding outfits No need for the gym No trying on hundreds of dresses, make up trials, hair trials, skincare regimes, hair care regimes, worries about tan lines, choosing supportive underwear that isn't visible, make up touch ups on the day LOL , but guess it's all worth it in the end :-)

Then got to pick up my cake pops for my hens tomorrow as it is finallymy hen do. And we reached three week marker yesterday till we fly out for our wedding so over all I'm getting more and more excited.
And I've got next two weeks slow at work due to my family away abit so I finally get to pack the cases in order to be able to enjoy my proper week off before I fly on the 14 May.
Hope you ladies are really good

CommentAuthorKatya
well, I have not had the chance to do much this past week, my eldest has been so ill, took him to the doctors yesterday & it turns out he has tonsilitus, my husband took 2 days off work as he felt so achey & lathargic, now hes shared the love with me & i feel terrible. At least it happens now & not during our honeymoon i suppose.
This time in 4 weeks we shall be on our honeymoon!
I have been thinking about anniversary presents for my husband too. I know I have loads of time & have only just got married, but I was thinking about a Trash the Dress or Rock the Dress shoot. I dont want to use my actual dress though so was thinking of getting a more light weight one, I have been looking for places we could do this (ruins, river, fields etc) but all I can think is that there are some lovely rocky areas in Felixstowe (where I grew up) & they have the common so a few hills & stuff.... but thats like 80 odd miles away & i cant really ask my photographer to go all the way there even if i was to drive her there lol. I like the idea of powder paints, i love the idea of water (but theres not really any clear beaches/sea anywhere close its all like a horrible grey colour for the water.) I like the idea of wooded areas. can anyone suggest anything maybe?
Find out who you are & do it on purpose!
CommentAuthorCatherineR
Been very girly for the last month as I've been training myself into not biting my nails so I'm ready for the wedding! Been testing out different nail colours and morbid though it is, I think I'm going to have black gels on. Reason being is that I have a beautiful black sapphire set in diamonds and it goes perfectly with it!
We've also finally been told where we are going for our mini moon too :D one week starting the day after the wedding on the Isles of Scilly - totally beautiful, totally secluded and totally dog friendly which is exactly what we wanted!

O&B do you have any pics with the lace bolero? I've been growing my nails to, they are taking forever to grow though!! How did you manage to break the habit? I've been putting clear nail varnish on & instead of biting my nails I bite/peel the varnish off lol. I also asked my MUA if I should be doing anything beauty wise to get my skin looking it's best, she just advised to exfoliate once a week which I already do!!
My H2B's sister got engaged yesterday :)
CommentAuthorCatherineR
I just put nail varnish on straight away once I know that I want to grow them because I know that if the varnish is on, I won't bite them because I had having crappy nails!!
Congrats to your H2B's sister - it must be so exciting for her :) How did he propose??
Here's some pics of the bolero. The problem I have is that I want the coverage it's not quite long enough to reach where I want it because of my boobs :( I could just have it as a normal bolero but the dress has straps and a lace so it would probably look weird?

I was intending to have it as a lace overlay over the top half of the dress coming to rest touching the top of the belt but it's not quite long enough.. What do you think?

Me and the girls found somewhere in Plymouth that had the twist wrap dresses, and we went and they tried them on and they loved it, and looked to great on them. Is £185 per dress there the with nothing for juniors, so are going to stick the the d41nt y4rd one which had worked out £58 per dress for adults and £25 for junior. So happy.
