Hi Ladies After my doubts and fears last week - you'll be pleased to know Im back to my giddy self and getting ridiculously excited about the wedding again!! (Damn hormones!!) A couple of little arguments (about nothing really) left me questioning everything!!! Had a good chat with the H2B and a cry and a cuddle and we're absolutely fine (better than fine)
Apart from last week's wobble - I'm suprising myself about how stress free Im finding the whole thing. Our theme is relaxed and chilled out - purely a celebration of our marriage rather than a big stress filled day where people are getting nervous about speeches etc. In fact - apart from to thank people (which I'll probably do) I don't think there'll be any speeches at all.
How is everyone else feeling? Nervous? Excited? Worried? Giddy? So many emotions come into play don't they!? xx

Yes, I know just what you mean! When we first found and booked the venue I was on cloud nine; every day felt like Christmas; I woke up with butterflies in my stomach!
I went from being quite a 'last minute', indecisive person to being amazingly organised, shocking all my friends and family with my quick decision-making. I had a few wobbles, worrying that my H2B wasn't as excited as me but he assured me he was; that he just didn't show it as much as I do, and while he's involved in some aspects of the wedding planning, he's so laidback he is letting me do most of it!
I then had another wobble about my wedding dress. It's white, not ivory, and I was worried it would make me look washed out. I'm picking up the dress on Saturday so I will be able to reassure myself (hopefully!) that I made the right decision (the ivory version would have cost three times what I paid and I didn't feel I could justify it). It's the most beautiful dress I tried on and I didn't want to take it off so I have to keep reminding myself of how I felt when I was in the bridal shop, and how my mum and sister got all misty-eyed.
Oops, sorry for the ramble! Anyway, most things are sorted now - the bridesmaid dresses are proving the hardest thing to sort out but I'll get there! Oh, and the guest list is causing me a bit of concern as we have to be brutal and can't invite everyone to the ceremony and wedding breakfast.
I'm glad you're feeling ridiculously excited again - it's a wonderful feeling, isn't it? When I find myself stressing about centrepieces I have to remind myself the main thing is I'm marrying my soul mate - do floating candles really matter that much?!
Enjoy it - your wedding day will be here before you know it (as will mine; I think we may be getting married around the same time!) :-) xx

Thanks - yes it is a wonderful feeling. I know what you mean Sarah - the finer details aren't really that important - we said right from day one that the most important thing is the actual marriage - the rest is just padding. To be honest - I don't think I'd really care too much if we just got married with 2 witnesses and met everyone at the pub for a drink afterwards!!!! (we're not doing that btw!) xx

Haha, that's exactly what my fiance said! We were so lucky with the wedding package we got; we never thought we'd be able to get married so soon but I'm so happy we can as we already said we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. The wedding is just the icing on the cake, so to speak :-D xx
