    I dunno he said I was being disrespectful to my step mum but I feel he's being disrespectful to my mum. I feel like I don't want any speeches now to save hassle and upset. Aw bless you, hope you get sorted and you can start to enjoy your count down. You are having such a big wedding aren't you xx

    I agree with you Leanne, I think it's disrespectful to your mum to refer to your step mum as your "mum". If I was your step mum I would also feel quite embarrassed and uneasy about it - no one can replace your mum! xx

    Unfortunately Flossie, my step mum has issues of her own with my mum and she would rather she wasn't mentioned at all. We don't talk about my mum in front of her. I've cried for 2 days about it all. Xx

    I'm getting married 22nd July

    Everything I have left to do;

    Order Wedding Rings,
    Order Bridemaids Dresses
    Book Hen Party
    Last Dress Fitting
    Trial Hair Day
    Trial Make Up Day
    Book Florist.

    I'm so angry at my Maid Of Honour, I can not be dealing with all the stress right now, she never tells me when she is free, she has not helped me at all, she may not be coming to my Hen Party, she isn't staying with the night before my wedding and all that a side and forgiven, what I am furious with is she is not coming to the reception or after party!
    I have such a crappy Made Of Honour :(

    I'm so excited for my wedding though, it can not come soon enough! xx

    Hey Ladies,

    Michelle, I am sure you are delighted now that your mum etc are getting involved and taking more of an interest, and a big help with the ££ too, happy days!

    Ashleigh, that certainly is not a MOH! get a replacement stat! if i was asked to be someone's MOH i would be doing everything I could to help out and support the bride, I just don't get how some people can be so selfish.

    LeanneF, Im sure your head is away , people have a habit of just putting more stress on top of everything don't they?

    Have any of you guys got a change of shoes between the day and the evening? I'm wondering if I wait till after the first dance - h2b is quite a bit taller than me - or just change them before the evening reception starts? x

    So sorry to hear you're having a tough time Leanne - hopefully when you speak to your dad again, he will have had time to think and will understand your point of view on the matter.

    No change of shoes for me either. I am thinking of getting a relatively cheap pair of ivory flat shoes to have at the reception just incase my feet are in too much pain but they would only be a back up. I would rather keep my heels on as long as possible as I love them and feel much better in them than flats with my dress.

    Sounds terrible Ashleigh, I agree with everyone else and ask her to step down, it sounds like she wouldn't;'t be too bothered anyway as it sounds like she barely plans to be there on your day anyway.

    Emm - I now share your makeup concerns!!! I usually wear E$t££ L@uder Double Wear foundation, which lasts all day - it's quite heavy, but gives good coverage. When I had my trial, the MUA used B0bb1 Br0wn Luminous foundation. I've purchased a bottle of it so I can touch up throughtout the day. However, I used it today and cant believe that it's not lasted the whole day and I look like I've now got no make up and no coverage. It's also made my skin greasier than normal...

    Thanks girls for all your support. Feeling less emotional today. Still going to leave it another few days before speaking to my dad again.

    That's exciting that your dress is in Lindsey, when are you going to see it?

    Mrs Wade exciting about the marquee people.

    I don't even have one pair of shoes yet never mind 2.

    The sun being out today is making me wish we were having a summer wedding. Xx

    Had my final dress check on saturday. Is a perfect fit, yay. (just hope i don't eat to many cakes in the next week lol)
    So it's now hanging up at home distracting me loads.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your dad being like that Leanne, hopefully once he's had time to digest what you said, he will understand it from your point of view.

    Ashleigh i would get one of your other bridemaids to be your MOH, im sure one of they jump at the chance. If my MOH was anything like i would be asking her if she valued our friendship at all.

    Lindsey imGlad you had a lovely Hen Do . It sounds fab, arundel is just up the road from me, its a gorgeous place isn't it. My partner took me to the black rabbit by the lake for our first date.

    It's terrible isn't it Lindsey...... I know I keep saying it but makeup is soooo personal, if it's not right, it makes you unhappy.

    I wear a foundation and a powder and obviously I only had foundation on at the trial so I felt exposed if that makes sense?!

    I keep looking at the photo and it looks great to be honest but I'm whittling about it still

    Chrissy - just had a peek at your profile. I'm in Seaford so not a million miles from you!! Yes, Arundel is really lovely. I've been to the Bl@ck R@bbit - had a failed internet date there before I met my OH!!! Arundel is quite special to us as we had quite a few dates there when we first met - it was meant to be halfway between his then home in Havant, but think I was conned a bit there!

    Wow - 12 days to go - exciting. Where are you getting married? Sorry if you've said elsewhere.

    Emm, no it makes complete sense. I'm now stressing its not going to last the whole day and my skin will look really porous - it's not brilliant to start off with in all honesty. Dry skin around the eyes and unattractive dark circles to boot!

    I would suggest you book in another trial or maybe try another MUA and see if you're happier after that? xx

    Leanne - not arranged anything yet. Next couple of weekends are difficult as my Mum is away with my sister for my niece's 4th birthday and I want her input re a veil as not chosen one yet, then next weekend we're up in Durham for the May Bank Holiday as it's OH's dads 70th birthday celebration.

    Hope you're okay.

    Emm I thought you look lovely on your trial but if you're not happy then maybe speak to the MUA and see if they can offer a solution.

    MrsW I'm sorry to hear your mum is blowing hot and cold on the wedding. I was so pleased to hear they were getting excited and then kept reading and got so annoyed. Hopefully now she's heard the whole story about what has been said she will realise that its your sister who is out of order.

    Chrissy that was so hard for me too the last few days not eating cake after the last fitting. Just wait til afterwards and you can have that cake that stares at you in the run up.

    Sorry Leanne to hear about your dad, I hope he realises how important your mum is to you as well as acknowledging your step mums role in bringing you up.

    Hope things get less stressful Danielle.

    And LadyC, sorry to hear about your dad but massive congratulations on baby news.

    Phew! I think that's everyone! X

    I'll give her a call and talk to her. She's really lovely and we changed my hair several times until I was completely happy!!

    She would be more annoyed if I didn't express my concerns.

    Maybe I just need a bit more coverage!!

    That's a good way to look at it Mrs W.

    So, I contacted the bridal shop last night after the initial nerves of the dress being in had passed and I queried a bra with them. I've been told to not sort anything yet until I've gone for my first fitting. I'm not exactly well endowed in that area anyway, but just wondered if anybody knew of any places where you could purchase a bra that was backless and strapless - my dress has a V shape. Probably getting ahead of myself here, but thought best to be prepared!

    I would look in D3bs or M&5. It may be that your bridal store stocks bras anyway - I know mine does? Alternatively you could get cups sewn into the dress, which is what I'm doing xx

    Thanks - do they sell just cups then? Sorry to sound a bit dumb! I don't recall seeing any underwear in the shop when I choose the dress, but that was 6 months ago and all I can remember is sheer relief of finally finding the dress after trying on in excess of 20+

    We had a night mare with the evening guests responding - so much so we ended up making an event on bookface just to try and contact everyone. All day RSVP's have come back and everything all arranged ready for my meeting regarding the day list.

    I have custom cOnv3R$e for the evening and their too pretty not to wear. I can never last long in heels so I think I might have them on for he first dance and then change them over
