Little moan....The girl who sits opposite me in work (who I really like) got engaged over xmas and has just booked her wedding for Aug this year. Hardly a problem as we have no mutual friends and she's getting married miles away from me. But after all my excitement over counting down and she's beaten me!!
Lol I know it's silly but I am a teeny bit miffed!
Oh well. Sept 2012 is still THE month to wed ;-) x

I know how you feel. Actually the worst fb friend i've got is a girl who I used to be best friends with who dumped me and our housemates for her new fella and we just stopped talking. It was a shame but I didn't feel the need to keep making the effort with her when she wasn't interested. Well she got married in July. And now, every wedding update I put she comments. 'Oh I know how you feel' 'Oh it's exciting planning isn't it' 'Oh I was the same planning my wedding last July - I'm already married you see' etc etc etc!!!! She thinks she's the oracle of weddings. She didn't invent marriage!!!! Argh just cos we have one thing in common she's suddenly interested in me after 4 years! Grr rant over!
Ah I feel mean moaning about my work friend as I am very happy for her, but everyone in work is like 'oooh just before you eh Clare'. Grr. I know I've only been waiting 4 months but i'm bored now. Want it to be Aug! x

Hello, just checking in! 32 weeks to go!
This week I got our rings from the jewellers, love them. And after about 10 weeks managed to tie my chair cover woman down and get a sample of the closest colour sash to my theme and luckily its almost perfect so I'm happy that's finally sorted. I picked a funny colour and it's been so hard to get matching stuff I was worried she wouldn't be able to match it and i'd have to source my own, or pick silver/ivory/white sashes.

CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
32 weeks woo woo! i finished wrapping my mens' favours in tissue paper this weekend so that it all stays together and they look better than being in the packaging they came in it looks a bit dated, it goes with my theme now at least.

We're getting married on 1st Sept. So Excited!! Mostly done we have had ages tho. Everything not done has been booked to be done ie bm dresses. Keep thinking of things I have forgotten tho.
CommentAuthorfiona
When is everyone sending out invites? I haven't sent any save the dates.
CommentAuthorSweetchilli
@fiona We are sending our invites out on the 10th July and want RSVP by 10th August so this gives us time to chase up and then pass menu and wine choices on to the venue.
CommentAuthorKate4
Me too! Eee!
We're sending out invites right at beginning of June/or late May with RSVP date for 1st July. Gives us 2 months to finalise numbers/chase.
Have done nearly everything. Just the wait now.....! x
CommentAuthorKimmie.Bride.to.be
Ive sent mine out, and theyve caused havoc! Some have got there, some havent, some have stickers with unsufficient paid postage, some havent turned up and in their place was a slip from royal mail asking for it to be picked up from sorting office! Nightmare!!!
CommentAuthorKate4
Ooh we have sent stds, but as so many people are travelling I want them to have as much notice as poss to sort hotels etc. x
CommentAuthorSweetchilli
OMG Kimmie what a nightmare for you. I hope you manage to get it sorted out.
CommentAuthorKimmie.Bride.to.be
All our hotels rooms have been booked up too by a walking group! Nighmare!
I have text everyone I have a number for to say not to ignore slips through the door, if they get them, and to let me know if they dont receive them at all.
CommentAuthorKate4
Oh no :-( that's awful!
I'll have to check and double check in that case as I was just gonna whack first class stamps on. Hope they all arrive eventually. X
CommentAuthorfiona
Kimmie, just what you need added stress! Hope it gets sorted ASAP!
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
Ours are going out the end of April and RSVP's by 30th June just incase some people are on holiday it gives us chance to invite other people

Bought my bridal underwear today! Woo! The list gets shorter!!
CommentAuthorfiona
On the underwear front I'm not sure where to start, comfortable, functional, sexy...? And where should I go?
CommentAuthorNicsquared
I got mine from debs when they had 30% off - they have a good range so its a good place to start I'd go and try a few on and see which you prefer, i have gone for a basque but might buy the matching bra and then change as im not sure how comfortable it will be in a basque and wedding dress corset for 12 hours :s
There are so many people out there who will tell you

CommentAuthorKate4
Yeah mine was in Debs. I've got a strapless bra and knicks. Comfy but also pretty. If I haven't quite lost the weight i'd planned to, i'll prob have a pair of spanx on instead!

I'm not wearing a bra as the dress is so heavily corseted. I think i'm going to go for some nice knickers but not see through or anything as my mum and BM's will be helping me into the dress so it will be comfortable as well
frilly ivory french knicker i think

Ooooh heck! Not been on here for a while. Been a busy bee :)
Got the cake sorted and booked, just waiting for my cheque to clear to pay the deposit.
Found PERFECT tall vases in TKMaxx for our tree centerpeices at £9.99 each! BARGIN! So will be getting them when h2b gets back from deployment.
Got our tree stumps from the forest behind our house. We found a couple lying on the floor, so rolled them to the road, and chucked them in the boot. Naughty hehe :) So will be starting our cake stand when h2b gets back too!
Had a £15 voucher for NEXT so going to spend that on some nice photo frames for a photo of my mum and chris's nan to go somewhere- dont know where yet, I think next to the cake, but Chris doesnt know.
Thinking about getting my BM dresses online too. Found some nice ones for £69.99 and had some good reviews :)

I bought my shoes last night from the bay of E. So thrilled!

Hi ladies i get married 1st September at 12pm and cant wait! We went to the venue yesterday and sorted out a lot of bits like meal times and evening start and how i want my centrepieces. Im practically done barring mens suits and paying the bill lol. Im sending out our invites the end of April too so it give all my relations in Scotland chance to book in to local bed and breakfasts and so we know what our final numbers are xx
It's great to say i get married this year September 1st 2012
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
i can't wait for my purple shoes to come back all crystalised :-) so exciting!
we had a phone call from our bakery - they are shutting eeeeek!!! she is however honouring all her current orders and just sticking to home made cakes as that side of the business is making money where as they shop isn't :-( nvm at least i still get my gorgeous cake!!!!!
oooooooo got two bridesmaids dresses from bay of e only work once was a bit disappointed with the decond one as it was listed as a age 10 but it has been taken in so i'm hoping that my bridesmaid doesn't grow if she does i'll have to have it taken out and hope that the stitching can be covered up. the age 3 dress however is the cutest thing i have ever seen!!! i am so happy with it :-D

Woo exciting!
All good stuff! My shoes were off the bay, barg!
This week I have bought my garter. Not a busy week! Have see the flower girl dresses I want in Debs and there is 20% code I could use, but worried it's too early as they might grow. They're both 2 now and turn 3 in April and July. But one is a big kid, one is teeny and it's the older one who's the shrimp!
CommentAuthorJoci "The Currypot"
Reading through most peoples post I feel a little behind, we just decide in November to get married on 1st June 2013 after being engaged for 3yrs only for my brother to get engaged and book his for 4th May 2013. Oh no he wouldn't budge at all or at least his new Fiance wouldn't so now we've had to go with 1st Sept 2012 which I felt didn't give me much time at all to get organised. I have my dress, bridesmaid dresses are ordered and arrive in June, Mens suits are sorted, venue and church are booked, cars are booked, Photographer booked, I've sent out "save the date" and I've made my own invitations for the ceremony and evening. I still have a lot to do aswell as have an operation on my hip which will see me laid up for a month or so. Looking forward to Hen night in Belfast tho
I have finally found my soulmate
On 1st Sept 2012 I will become Mrs Curry

Me tooooooooo!!!!!!
CommentAuthorJoci "The Currypot"
Thanks girls, I feel a bit more at ease now. You wouldn't think I'd done it before the only difference is I only had 4mths the last time but my Aunty who has now moved to Turkey and my mam took charge and they did everything for me from sorting out the bridesmaids to the last details on the tables, my mam even did my table plans etc as I had 2 toddlers at the time. Now I have no help as my h2b actually lives in Scotland with his folks on the farm and only comes home every other week and my Bridesmaid lives in Ireland. I know everything will just fall into place I'm just worried I'll forget about something.
I have finally found my soulmate

Hello ladies, we are getting married on 15th September 2012. With a little twist. Me and my sister are having a joint wedding. May not be evryones cup of tea but its perfect for us. We are very close, it reduces the cost by half, my dad is disabled and doesn't walk very well so he will be walking us both down the isle together, we also have lots of family scattered around so it means they only have to travel down once and lots more reasons. It is going to be great. We have booked the venue, registrar, recepion, most of the decorations, photographer, one of the two cakes, dresses have been ordered. Lots more to do tho. Im soooooo excited. xx
