    Arh Rachel I used to work at butlins many moons ago and still friends with ex reds now, it's a fun place to go.

    Susie she's fine still hobbling but will be good for the wedding thankfully, what is it with mums and FMIL? My FMIL isn't even coming the wedding as she said she wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut over things I have done

    Never thought I would be one of those brides who fell out with parents but I think where the mums and FMIL's are concerned I think it's because they don't have a specific role on the day and it must hurt but at least I know how not to be when my daughters get married lol.

    15 more work days left but 3 weeks on sat yay xx

    Have to take my table plans round to the hall tomorrow after work to trial run the lay out! Mainly because they might need to borrow some tables from another local hall for us to have enough tables for all the blooming guests eeeeeeeek!
    Dave's dad wont sit next to Dave's mum, other guests dont like other ones, so the table planning has been a sodding nightmare!!

    Other than those mini stresses, Im getting more and more excited! Two weeks on Saturday and I will be a Mrs!

    OMG I can't believe there's only 2 weeks to go!! I finish work tomorrow for 2 weeks, so at least I won't feel like there's not enough time in the day to get things done.
    - Favours are finished.
    - We have our final meeting with the reception venue on Sat, which is combined with our final meeting with our photographer. There is a wedding that day, so we can see how the room will be laid out.
    - Issue with bridesmaid/bridesman sorted. My bridesman has dropped out, as we had a falling out last month! (we've made up now, but he's still being a little childish about not coming to the wedding!!) I then asked my oldest friend, who I haven't seen for ages, to be bridesmaid (bearing in mind this was with 3 weeks to go!) and she was over the moon to be asked! Bought her a dress, and to say thank you, I'm buying her a charm bracelet to wear on the day.
    - Seating plan and OOS finished.
    - Choir rehearsals are going well. Next week they will be practicing in the chapel with the organ.
    - I need to write my speech. OH isn't doing one, but I need to say thank you to certain people, so it's down to me!

    Apart from the little bits, everything is ready. EEEEK!!!!!

    Hey all! Had my dress fitting yesterday and it's too big!! I've lost 4" off my waist and 3" off my bust! The dress didn't look great but it's being altered so hopefully it'll be fine. Most things sorted, I've had first hen, 2nd with work next Thursday. H2b goes back to work after having 3 months off sick following an op on Monday then he's having his stag in Cardiff on the 14th. Amy where in Wales are you moving too? Xx

    6 days to go for me. Just few small tweeks and only have to pay makeup lady on the day. Other than that Packing for honeymoon to do. I'm now looking forward to wedding. Had a lot of hurdles to get over in the last two years and none to do with the wedding so I'm looking forward to enjoying the day and relishing the results of all my wedding planning over the last two years . Also a relaxing honeymoon where I'll not have to clock watch and no children :)

    Wow MrsManiatt2B how are the nerves? Everything is paid off now, a quiet 'wedding week' this week but I do have my works Hen do tomorrow night then my 2 teenage BM's are going for their hair trial Friday, I can't make it but one of my friends (and the other one's mum, one of them is my daughter) is going so hopefully all will be well. I still can't believe how quick the last few weeks have gone, so scary!!!

    10 days Nikki!!! That's so close :) I'll finish work the Wednesday before as well but will probably bring cakes in and spend the morning annoying everyone! Have you had any last minute drop-outs yet?

    we had a few drop out including FMIL and her two foster kids, her sister and husband and a friend of mine and husband thought they wouldnt be able to make it, my grandma also said she wouldnt be able to come.

    But this week (yes I know 2 weeks before) all change, my friend and husband can come, and my southern cousins and uncle who couldnt come right from the beginning can now come (8 of them), my 93 year old grandma is also coming - surprisingly didnt have a melt down just swapped a few things around, added another table and got pretty excited.

    I think though I will be exactly like you and annoy everyone in work next wednesday - I have a habit of skipping round the office when I am excited which usually means they get sick of me and send me home :) I can but hope. xxx

    Its flying by now! And i've just done the last of my scheduled MSc work until I get back from the honeymoon so now I can just focus on all the wedding stuff!
    Not bad nerves wise at the moment, except hoping that we get a bit of sun on Sunday (it says light rain showers at the moment)! We're very organised luckily! if there was any more to do I would be worried tho - get it al done in advance ladies! xxx

    Nope Rachel shes not coming -her choice she said she wouldnt be able to hold her tongue - nice!!! Believe me, 3 weeks is nothing, I know you feel like its ages away but its not, we have our rehersal tomorrow night and meeting at venue tonight sorting last bits out and now I am saying "next saturday" and it only felt like yesterday I was getting excited about my hen do.

    MrsM - 3 days!!!! wow hope you have a fantastic day xxx

    I had our first (and hopefully last!!) day time drop-outs yesterday...apparently it's her Nans birthday!! Surely they've known her birthday date?? Anyway I text 2 friends and they're coming instead, which they're both really happy about! Trouble is the Table Plan has been done and they won't really fit in on the table they should be on so it's going to have to be a fingers crossed job. Nikki- in that case I'm sure you'll be much happier without her! xxx

    Thats a bit close for day time drop outs Rachel! Hopefully it can be sorted without too much issue! We are taking a day together now going to the cinema and out for a meal, without doing any marriage stuff! We think its a good idea to have a calm day before the mania of tomorow! xxx

    Oh rachel I could cry - i just feel that everyone is just going through the motions with me at the minute, my own mum doesn't even seem to be that bothered by it all - I asked for her help the other day and she came up with an excuse why she couldn't - she even kicked off before going to the rehearsal as "she doesn't need to be there its not like she has anything to do!". My daughter who is CBM doesn't seem bothered - she hasn't even text me this week to see how I am or if I need any help with anything.

    Maybe I am just tired and its making things seem a bit worse than it probably is - everyone is probably just sick and tired of hearing about it all

    Right Nikki you don't want or need the next few days to ruin your wedding. It sounds like you're absolutely knackered. You of all people can give daughter a kick up the wot sit that mum needs her (I've got a 17 yr old so I do sympathise). Can you and h2b take the night off together and have a meal or something? And how much apart from the last minute running around like a headless chicken '(which happens to be my new surname!!) needs doing? I'm a big list writer it's the only way I stay relatively sane. Hang in there xx

    Thanks Rachel, yeh I am tired was up till 11 last night doing the wedding favours - H2B says lets make our own - who ends up doing it - yep me haha.

    Only get the breakfast sorted for the morning of the wedding, the usher gifts, the flowers for mum, write out all the name cards and sort out the table plan (doing myself) and finish off the favours (not going that though till thursday) just need someone to help with writing out the table plan and decorating it - need to keep on top of the housework as wont have time next weekend to do it and just look after the H2B and the other kids - so not much needs doing really just feels like a lot

    Hope you had a good night's sleep Nikki. I can't believe how quickly time is marching on now. Pick up 4 BM's and my dress this week, that will make it VERY real. Our 'honeymoon' pot that we've been putting all our loose change into since we got engaged 20 months ago is now full. It'll be smashed (its one of those china ones) next weekend. I just hope the weather improves...it's p'ing down here with thunder and lightening :( How is everyone else feeling? xx

    Still not heard anything about my dress. Going to call head office tomorrow and see if they have any idea on an exact date and plead poverty to see if they'll throw in free alterations.
    Apart from that, everything is coming together nicely. Have my hen this Sat. Gonna be a messy one.
    Cocktail making class with lunch, then evening meal and The Birdcage in Manchester. Really want to go to a Karaoke bar too.
