Hey Mrs C, I know not long for us now! I've had a couple of cancellations this week but all legit reasons so I'm not stressing about it. We were a few over numbers quoted anyway so now we're bang on x

Hi Mrs C its best to keep busy to the run up then you dont have time for nerves LOL thats my plan anyway.
Jill what a pain to have people cancelling so late, but at least you had the forsight to invite extra
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
Morning ladies!!!!!!! I had a wonderful day!!!! The sun was shining and it was amazing!!!!!
We had some cancellations on the morning of the reding but luckily we had some stand in guests who filled the void. Was brilliant but my god was my dress heavy after 12 hours hahaha I collapsed in the corridor in a puddle of tulle as my legs were so tired :-) i'll post a bigger update tomorrow just having breakfast with my husband :-D hehe

Evening all. Lea congratulations honey! Glad you had a great day and cant wait to see your pics!
Got to pay the venue tomorrow and give over the figuers for the different menus our guest have selected. all O/S are done BM & FG gifts wrapped up. our bedroom is full of wedding bits and bobs and cant wait to get them out of the house now. our task tonight is to make the table names printed up and print the names on card for the table plan dropping of wedding favours to my sister tonight as she said she will check the venue on the day and set them out for me and take photos and send them to me on the morning of Wday. Cant wait for my hen do this weekend 2 full days of being pampered with no children HMMM bliss !!! Still in denial though and its kinda working for me. if i think about the actual wedding and what it means i get butterflys in my tummy and i think how much more of this can i take i want it to happen like yesterday. but then i think yep its still ages away and my butterflys kinda ebb back down to a controlable levell
How are you doing ? x
CommentAuthorJill
I'm strangely calm, I dont think it's hit me that it's so close then on the other hand I've been counting down for ages and know I've next to no time left... another hair trial this weekend, just not happy with anything they've done yet, too old looking, too frizzy, too big, too hard... just no pleasing me lol x

do you know what it is you want your hair to be like jill? when i had my hair done for my 21st i described to the hairdresser how i wanted it (which is how i am having it for the wedding) and she did it toatlly wrong not how i had pictured at all. so this time i printed pics of that i found on google and showed her and shes got it spot on. just had my hair and makup trail this evening after the last woman we had canceled an hour before we were supposed to have a trail the other week and told us to find someone else! everything was so manic last week, i just wanted to cry all the time as everything felt like it was going to fast and i had still got loads to do but getting on top of things now, my mums house is covered in wedding stuff in almost every room lol shes started calling it wedding HQ lol, got my pre hen do this weekend so time to relax :) while the lads go on there stag do then the weekend after is my actual hen do :D so excited! oooou final dress fitting this weekend aswel eeeeek! got my weigh in tomorow at weight watchers so hopefully that 2lb i put on last week has dissapeared fingers crossedx
CommentAuthorsusan1990

CommentAuthorJill
Well done hun! I'm actually really annoyed at myself - not been to the gym for 2 weeks now and every bit I'd toned has now gone back to what it was before and more with all the rubbish I've been eating. Focus has returned though - a little late but hey ho - it's a corset back so will come in if necessary (fingers crossed).
What are you doing for your hen? It's h2b's stag do on Saturday, I'm gonna have a wee night in with my wee manny, just us NO RUBBISH and some disney films... lovely! x

Afternoon everyone, so how's it all going for you?
All we have left to do is:
Speak with photographer on 20th, Collect suits on 27th, Take things upto the venue on 28th, then get married!
Still hasnt sunk in yet though.
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!

CommentAuthorJill
I'm off for my final dress fitting tomorrow, you've just reminded me that I need to get my list together for the photographer, got another hair trial tomorrow (no pleasing some folk), get my son a spare pair of trousers incase his kilt gets to uncomfortable and keep the gym up! Finish up work a week on Wednesday - how exciting is that! I've been whitening my teeth for the wedding and they're now ultra sensitive so gonna lay of it for a few days. Body combat tonight although wish it was a spa!

So how many of you bride-2-b's are feeling as anxious as I am right now? Im super stressed at the mo, and could really do with cheering up! I have had a few panicy moments lately, and now all I can think about is what if I have some sort of panic attack whilst getting married!!! AARGH
CommentAuthorJill
Aww stay calm hun! I'm reasonably calm although people messing about when it comes to the wedding is p'ing me off a bit! All you ask is people to be a bit organised and look after themselves but no - they faff about as if they're the most important person in the world, drives me crazy x

Jill I know exactly where your comming from. We have had terrible problems with our family-not letting us know if they are comming or not, and when they do decide they took forever to tell us! Our friends were fab and let us know straight away though! Are you all ready? Cant believe how quickly the time is going!
CommentAuthorJill
We're pretty much sorted, I've went from calm to mucho excited within the last half hour after getting a text from a friend, I'm hyper now and it was nothing too! She said she'd driven through to the venue today (it's in my hometown but she's my neighbour 30 miles from there) and was just telling me her plans for the day - leave early, check in and head down from there - boring stuff really but it's got me all excited lol one the rsvp front, I've found it was our closest friends and family who didnt bother replying, probably of the thinking that we'd know they were going because of who they are... errrr hello, everyone could say that! Some just dont think x

Jill hows the seating plan no more upsets i hope
I had my hen do at the weekend it was amazing my friends didn't organise me a stripper which i was thankful of but quite a few of us noted that one of the spas hotel workers was quite hansom and i dont know how it happened but we talked him into stripping for us it was so funny he got permission from the hotel manager they sectioned of our table of 12 put lots of tealight candles on the table like a run way and he got on the table and stripped down to his boxers !!! he told us afterwards that he was the deputy head of the hotel and he was there he next day for breakfast and i couldn't stop grinning when i saw him again. i had 6 treatments and was so relaxed on sunday and today. tomorrow we have the rehersel so i think thats when its going to hit me, not long left to go !!

Welll ladies had my rehursal last night, i cant remmeber half of what we are suppose to say or do one of the flowergirls didn't want to walk up the isle without her mummy she is MOH so if this happens on the day they will have to walk behind me. Feeling a bit more excited now but still quite calm working on friday to keep my head straight but as soon as i leave the office i think it will be the OMG stage. I still have gifts to wrap thank you cards to write out table plan to make up (already done a rough one so i know where very one is seated) Champs to buy for the winner of the casino and a few other little bits. I know i'm leaving it late but it keeps me occupied so i dont have time to worry about the day !! Hows everyone ells doing ?

We didn't have a rehearsal and it was fine! In fact just before I went down the aisle I panicked and said tot he co-ordinator 'oooooh I have no idea what to do! When are the fgs going? And the bm? And when do I go?!' And he just said that he would judge it, not to worry and it worked out. Don't panic before or on the day, people will sort it for you!
Welcome back Lea! Hope you enjoyed! x

Thanks Karen!
Oh my honeymoon was fabulous thank you. We did and saw (and ate!) so much! We went to the hotels, the pool and the Grand Canyon in Vegas. The bridge, the park, Alcatraz, China Town, Little Italy, the marina etc in San Fran, and the beach, two baseball games, the zoo and the park in San Diego. So manic but great experience!
One of my fgs dragged the other down the aisle saying 'Come on Ella....'! Everyone laughed! x
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
Our hotel was amazing minus the rooms and the food it catered far too much for Germans, too much sausage haha
We are looking to book our second honeymoon to make up for this one looks like we are going to Mexico :-D so that should be nice and in time for our first anniversary
