It really is surreal that its going to be our wedding day at the end of all this planning! I wonder if it will just hit all of us the day before! lol xx

I reckon so Sarah, even then I think it will all seem surreal. I have a feeling it will only just hit me when I'm with my dad waiting to walk down the aisle! xx

I'm the same with OBEM it's only on 5 mins and I'm sobbing lol. I've always said I'll probably end up laughing half way through the vows or forget what I've got to say

My OH will not forgive me for saying this but he has been known to cry at things on the telly hahah, he is quite an emotional person. I definitely think he will cry when he sees me, he says he will too. He says he has been having a recurring dream of seeing me walking down the aisle and I blow him away so much he has to sit down. Found that really sweet! xx

I think it would be a nice tradition for grooms to go to the bridal shops to pick what they would like to see us in and see what the difference is

Flossie, your OH's dream is so sweet. I am an emotional wreck atm, I cried at the wedding fair last sunday lol. I still feel a bit like its not real. x

Finally got round to booking an appointment with the florist today. Go on the 24th October @ 11am. That's the last thing to book really now until after Xmas when I need to get a wriggle on with the suits, BMs dresses, rings and gifts.
Reading your threads through today has made me realise I'm not alone with regards to time flying, emotions and how 'real' things are starting to feel..... It won't be long ladies and it will be our year. I can't wait to see everyone's updates of 'Now married' or 'We did it!' Next year. I don't know about you guys but I've built visions in my head of how people's days will look and hopefully, if you share, we might just get a real look after the day xx

Aww I'll definately be back after the wedding to see how everyone is getting on.
Were same as you Emma. After Xmas we have got rings, suits, gifts, chair covers (if I don't do it before Xmas) and paying everyone off. Can't wait to be able to say today we get married, no stress (hopefully) and everything paid in full. Will be such a nice feeling x

Good luck with your florist appointment. I've got to go back to mine after Mother's Day to pick exactly what I want as she put a dew bouquets together when we went. So she will need numbers and colours of what we want x

CommentAuthorEmmilou82
I'm looking forward to it..... Hopefully come away with an idea of what I'd like and a price. I have a maximum budget of £300 for flowers but don't need them for display just the bouquet, buttonholes, flower girls and MIL & MOB.

You can still have the countdown bit (the grey text) Leanne but you won't be able to have a ticker unless you're a PU. I think you need to unrestrict your profile and it should come up as well as your hearts xx

'I'm at 8 months too and at the moment all I am stressing and thinking about is getting my dress sorted - apparently I've left it a bit on the late side according to some shops, so taking tomorrow as annual leave to try and sort. I can't think about anything else until I've done that. We didn't get engaged until the end of June so haven't had as long to plan things!

All stores are different. The ones I've been to have said to order a year in advance and even told me to order my bm dresses a year in advance which others don't seem to have been told ... I'm sure you'll find somewhere who can order fast delivery even at a little extra cost. Or you might find something in a sample sale then the timing doesn't matter one little bit. Do you have a bridal outlet store near you at all ? They have thousands of dresses you can take same day
CommentAuthorFlossie
I always thought you should ideally order a year in advance but the store where I've ordered my dress from said it should take 4-5 months. You will have plenty of time, but I would look to get it sorted as soon as poss just for your own peace of mind xx

CommentAuthorFlossie
That's a nice idea Mrs Wade! I've still got quite a bit to get for OH's grooms bag but they're only little bits so not in a hurry.
The cufflinks came for the best men and my dad yesterday. I love what OH chose to write on my dad's

You two are scaring me! Are you super prepared or am I super unprepared?

I am definitely super prepared. Control freak!
I want the majority of things done by Christmas so in the new year we mainly just have to pay off suppliers.

I'm tok stingey for that too haha! I have the money for the suppliers but I'm hoarding it until last minute to get my interest .. How terrible is that! I've been buying little bits and pieces but really don't know what to get oh really

We're doing the same Becci. At the moment it's better off in the ISA than in the bank account of a supplier. But I don't want to paying out loads of money all at the same time in the lead up to the wedding so I am going to start paying suppliers in the new year month by month :)

My heart will break when it all comes out my account lol I'm mainly paying because as oh keeps reminding me I earn 12000 more than him a year ... Change the record but hey what else would I spend it on! Just frustrating sometimes when he tries to call the shots on the wedding when it's my dosh and quite happily chooses the most expensive options. Men!

Lovely gifts. The shop where we got wedding rings allow 10% off bridal party gifts so think I'm gonna get the girls a nice necklace.
For those of you who have got hangers, did you just get them for yourself and bridesmaids or did use get your mum ones too? I think I'm gonna order the ones MrsMW got off the bay but would like to stick some embellishments on, what could I use?
