    Thank you!

    Yes I am happy with them. My BM haven't tried theirs on yet but they look ok and my dress feels really good on and I still love it. I really do love the other dress I ordered incase I didn't get this one but I'm not sure whether to still wear both or not. I think I'll wait until I have the alterations done and then decide.

    Phew, thank goodness that's over for you Katie.....

    You are absolutely right though and they should have been honest with you from the start!!

    I'm pleased you are sorted and you can move forward now



    Had a call from the florist today and I'm going in on the 7th May at 10am to do a mock bouquet using my flowers.

    Excited as I can't really visualise it at the mo.

    So our wedding co-ordinator never called the other night. OH was not impressed as basically we sat in waiting for her to call.
    I emailed her asking what went on and asking for her rota for this week so we could reschedule the call. She said she called both numbers and left voicemail but no answer and complete;y ignored the request for her rota to rearrange. She's also gone ahead and booked our helicopter flights in without discussing whether we want to book extra time with a photographer first.

    Really annoyed as I only ever asked her to call on ONE number which was OHs mobile number. There are no missed calls on it. I have no missed calls on my number. There are no missed calls or voicemails anywhere so we think she forgot because she did call on the day before on OH number but we were at dance class so obv didn't answer.

    Went to try on the IC shoes that I liked but my normal size are way too tight. Tried a half size up and although they are ok width wise on my left foot they are still tight on the right but you can see they are too long. Tried another pair which I liked also and couldn't even get my foot in to them so I'm going to have to start again. Any recommendations for unusual pretty shoes that I can try on in a shop (ie not just order) budget around £80?

    Good news is that OH suit was in D£bs so we picked that up today and gt him some shoes. Just a shirt to go :)

    That's really annoying about your wedding coordinator! I'd be really annoyed too.

    We had our first dance lesson this morning for our first dance!! It went okay, although just made the mistake of looking at the recording of it and all of my insecurities about the way I look have just come out of the woodwork!!

    Yeah Lindsey OH is annoyed too. I've asked her for her schedule again and for her to just email us what she wants as we still don't know what she wants to talk to us about.

    What dance have you gone for? I think it's best to try and emulate someone who is really good so I try and stand and move like the strictly girls - I *think* it works! ;)

    Not great Steph - maybe just turn up at the venue and ask to see her if it's not far away.

    We've gone for a rather obscure choice - Annie's Song by John Denver. I'd never heard of it before, but my OH loves it and the lyrics are really meaningful. He got quite emotional doing the dance this AM!

    Oh yes I know that song, are you waltzing then?

    No she's in Vegas which is why I'm loathe to call her really because of the charges... I'm sure it's something we can answer on email though can't think of anything you can't ask over email about a wedding!

    Had a productive day yesterday sorting out bits and bobs for the wedding. Finished the pressies too... although I cannot for the life of me find the thank you plaque I bought for my little flower girl, so may have to order another one of those. We sat down and started writing our list for our photographer as well - much harder than I imagined! Ended up just confusing myself so gave up and will have a look another day. It's so awkward having 4 sets of parents and trying to do several variations of the same photo to please everyone.. think we are just going to have to be ruthless and not worry about "leaving anyone out".

    1rregular ch0ice are the shoes I have and I had to go 1 size up in order for them to fit. They are a bit tight round the toes so I wear them round the flat every few days to stretch them a little but I love them far too much not to wear them lol!!

    We had our final meeting with the venue on Saturday and that went well. All BM's have tried on their dresses and they all fit! Thank god! OH's suit jacket has FINALLY been sorted! Favour boxes ordered - flowers are being made and cake toppers nearly done! Hen night next Saturday then 2 weeks till the wedding!! aaaaahhhhh

    Its all become so real!! xx

    Katie so glad it all worked out in the end with the dresses. Can you cancel the new dress?

    Danielle glad your photo shoot went well and your app.

    Lindsey I really want to do a waltz for our first dance, trying to talk OH into lessons.

    I have been so busy with work and things lately the wedding has taken a back seat, we've still got lots to do I need to get going with it. Going to see the stationary woman on Saturday, hopefully get the invites out asap. xx

    We've now had RSVPs back from everyone bar 1... but I will let that 1 off! It's my FIL's girlfriend's son who is currently out in Australia, he's coming home in June but at the moment isn't 100% sure when, so the invitation is open to him if he is indeed back home.

    I was going to wear both but when I saw my original dress again I started to think whether to or not. The other dress is gorgeous and I think if I don't wear both I will regret it. It was never a plan to have 2 dresses but after everything that's happened it's ended up that way and I'm going to make the most of it

    Just need to pay off the VW camper, cake lady, DJ, harpist, magician and hair and make up lady now... in that order. Camper money not due til 18th May so I will pay that within the next couple of weeks. All the money is saved up sitting there waiting, just trying to hold onto it all for as long as possible!!!! Depressing seeing it disappear... all for a good cause though.

    We paid off our last payment on Saturday for our wall drapes so thankfully when we get paid this month its going to be for things for us - i.e. finishing groom box, nails to be done etc. Then hair on the day and that's it!

    Still cant even function with how close its getting! x

    In my head I wanted everything paid for in full by this point, but then I thought I may as well leave the money in the ISA for as long as poss to make the most of the interest (not that it's much - but every little helps right?!).

    Looks like I'm going to need to re-do our seating plan.. we had it perfect as well! My mum is now single and she's asked to keep her plus 1, which is fine, but I still don't know if she is actually planning on bringing anyone or not. My auntie is also in hospital at the moment awaiting open heart surgery, so it doesn't look like she will be able to come at the moment.. she would need to travel down from Nottingham too so I think it would prob be too much for her. I'd like to think my uncle and cousin would still come down anyway, but it may be that they wouldn't.... these people were all supposed to be on the same table and it was the smallest table anyway, so may need some major re-thinking.

    Thankfully our actual table plan itself won't or shouldn't take too long to make.

    OH is gutted. We received an RSVP back from his Auntie and Uncle yesterday declining the invite. His uncle is poorly and suffering with Alzheimer’s. He hasn’t been in a good place for coming up to 2 years now but we were hoping and praying they would be able to attend.

    As awful as it sounds, out of all the family from up north, he wanted these 2 the most. He’s devastated. He does completely understand why they can’t make the trip but he’s gutted!

    Hi ladies, feel like I haven't been on here for ages but it was only Thursday!! I flew to Benidorm on Friday morning with 17 of my family and friends for my hen weekend, Only got back yesterday and now I am back at work and shattered but had an absolutely amazing time, lots of drinking and sitting around in the gorgeous 22 degree sunshine, got some nice colour on me now ready for the wedding. We even stayed out until 5.30am one morning which is not like me at all but we were just having such a good time, we lost track of what time it was.

    Glad you got your dress Katie, that must be such a relief.
