Of course it's nervy Jen but you could always make a nuisance of yourself and ring in a week to check on progress. Ask them to send you pics maybe? No I didn't bring my dress home. They steam it the day before so I can pick it up and take it straight to the venue. No chance of it getting spoiled or seen!

Oh Dee. Sounds like families! Have you rung round your guests yet? That would be the first thing I was doing. Leaving messages with an email address saying that if you don't have written confirmation you're not getting fed! Would you like to swap families? Mine are annoyed because we are not having a church and letting the hotel do it all!

I have left messages with everyone asking again but not had many replies. I just get annoyed hearing don't worry if they turn up, they turn up. Erm I don't think so. I'm not paying all that money for people incase they decide it's worth turning up to my wedding, most being close family!! I wish I had let everyone sort things for me really. I'm really fussy tho and after his brother let the hotel sort things like centrepieces and dj and photographer that all went wrong I would never risk it.

Need your advice.....had my fitting which I knew needed taking in at the top (so my boobs arent on show to the taller guests!). On saturday, before getting to the shop I popped into the bridesmaid shop to see if they could do the alteration as they are a nicer shop. They couldn't get the back panel accross and said the dress was way too small for me! Nearly in tears.

Headed to actual arranged fitting, worried I wasnt going to fit (not put on any weight, have steadily lost it 1lb a week since christmas!)..Dress did up fine. They don't do up the back panel first, they lace it and bring it together. Has anyone else had this problem? The dress looks good when done up, but the ladies in the first shop said it would split apart during the night if its not done up.

I'm going back next saturday, but worried now that the dress wont do up on the day unless I can get my mum to do it like the ladies in the shop!! As she lives in france, the only thing I can think is to try it on on Thursday before the day and get her to check she can do it!

Does anyone else have problems with the back panel?

So 33 days ...................... and I'm basically done. Just presents to get, final dress fitting and pay the venue a week before.

Done....Phew......Now trying not to stress with all the logistics of the week before, day before, day itself etc. But its ok, got my list of what needs to be done when and where so yeah......actually quite proud of myself lol.

Watch this space for some major rants if this calmness does not continue and it all goes belly up

We get married in 40 days. Everything is organised and paid for. Just small things to sort out now like bm presents. Then we are done. And I have done everything all by myself with no help. !

27 days to go !!!!!!!!!!!! OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!

I've still got loads to do.

Meeting with the caterer to finalise the numbers today, need to pick up the Order of Service, order the banners & balloons & put my rings in to be cleaned & re-sized. Also I never even thought of having a table plan done but now the family are starting to say where they want to sit & who with so I need to get one done so they dont have any say in it.

Need to get my garter & jewellery, sort out the flowers for the pews and have the wedding rehersal :-)

But ... I've got my graduation in 2 weeks as I finally got my Law degree :-D so hiring out my gown & paying for the photos has sort of left me skint @ the moment :-(

Fingers crossed I will have my final dress fitting also in 2 weeks.

I'm telling you girls, after this wedding I'm going to need this honeymoon just to relax hahaha

Kat, I feel like u I've been with my fella for nearly 8 years & it does sometimes feel like we are already a little married couple lol but god I hope that it doesnt mean that on the day we starting losing the plot & get all emotional haha!! I have told my fella though that if he doesnt cry when he sees me coming down the aisle I may need to kick him in the shin just so he cries lol x

Glad it's not only me. My family and friends all seem to be gong a bit crazy.

It's my hen this weekend so got a houseful of people of fri to prepare for this week before spending sat and sun in Leeds. I don't know how my bathroom is going to cope with us all on sat morning lol.

Left to pay we have the DJ and harpist on the day, half the BM dresses in a couple of weeks and the photographer when we have our meeting after he has got all the shots together. Oh and h2b needs a few more honeymoon clothes.

I'm half way through my table plan. I know who is on what table I just don't know who is sitting next to each other. Apart from that I think I'm all sorted.

25 days!!!!!!

Oh My...................Keep getting butterflies in my belly...........Its doesnt help at the moment that Im telling people to come and get their next months prescriptions ON MY WEDDING DAY lol i cant help but say the date with a smile on my face......People must think Im crazy lol

I feel like I have forgotten to sort something.......

I'm going to assume I will keep feeling like this til I'm back from honeymoon in aug lol

I love that I'm on my hen this weekend so I will be celebrating the arrival of July on sun with the girls.

Aww hun - CONGRATULATIONS!! Just make sure you take a step back & enjoy all the little moments of your day. xx

Hi ladies, currently recovering from my hen weekend - it was absolutely fantastic! I didn't stop laughing all weekend, EVERY part of it was brilliant and my sister and friends were excellent at keeping LOTS of secrets from me...including this one...ha ha - I was MORTIFIED!!!!



We did Grease dancing in the day which was so much fun... we all had t-shirts and I had to wear a veil ALL DAY!!!

Then back to the apartments for champagne, lunch, cocktails and naked waiters lol...my friends had organised a hilarious quiz which he asked the questions to and was more embarrased than me at some of the answers lol... We then got ready for the evening, went for a fabulous meal which they dressed me up for again ha and do you know what I loved EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of it!!!

You really don't realise how amazing your friends and family are until you see them all together for you...I was very emotional during most parts of the weekend and really didnt want it to end...I cannot wait for the wedding now!!!

H2B's stag do was a success too and we met the boys this morning and all had brunch together which was fantastic...they'd had a fun day too and all were feeling rather rough. We came home, had a McDonalds for tea and fell asleep on the couch.

It's funny, but this weekend just made me realise how much I truly love my H2B - especially after answering those questions lol...and giving away FAR more than I should have!!

Some pics of the events...

Aww Jen ... Pictures are boss hahaha looks like you REALLY had a good time!!!

Kat get your pics up girlie hahaha

Mind you I need to put mine on as well lol - loved every minute of mine ... got spoilt rotten by the strippers :-D

Glad you had a brilliant time xx

I've not been online since Saturday as the internet has been broken, but now it is now 3 days to go for me! Still a fair few last minute things to do but we're on track! Had a slight problem with the make up as last weekend I heard a few bad reviews about the woman we were having so I ended up trying to find someone else at 1 weeks notice! Eventually got someone though, had a trial and I loved it. Much happier now!

Arghhh I'm getting married tomorrow!!!! Can't wait! Finally all packed for honeymoon, off to bed soon!

It still hasn't sunk in yet!

Damn Girls it's getting closer & closer!!!

I'm with you Jen, this weather better start bucking its ideas up ... even though they say it's lucky for it to rain on your big day I still wouldnt mind the sun to start cracking the flags lol

Last little things to pay off are the Church (which the rehearsal is next week so they want it then) & the cars which I'll also do next week.

Went for a facial yesterday & the girl said that even the muscles in my face were tense, I said I'd need about 10 facials just to relax :-D Family are starting to annoy the crap out of me now & I'm not exactly known for my patience when it comes to that department hahaha.

Aww Jen I know - 12 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got my dress fitting on Wed, had to go last week but the dress at the top still felt like it was going to fall down so the shop have to take off another 2inches on either side :-(

Just been looking at Umbrella's on ebay, think I may order one (just incase)!!

Jen - I know it sounds strange but I'm getting a little nervous aswel hahaha ... Everyone is drumming it into me just to relax on the day, dont be worrying about anyone else and above all just enjoy every minute because I'll regret it if I dont!!! lol

My fella & I were laughing because when we 1st booked the Church (3 yrs ago) we both thought that it would feel like a life-time til the actual day ... NOT ANYMORE :-D ... Even friends on FB are doing the countdown aswel lol

we've just got flowers and chair covers to pay for next weekend and the final balance at the venue. I'm having a nightmare with bloody guests and had to change the table plan again!! Oh and yesterday I lost a bridesmaid ... she threw a temper tantrum in the dress fitters saying the dress made her look fat and her bust was not supported. She bought a cheap strapless bra and could have worn clear straps. I was gob smacked and couldn't believe it. I just said she had two choices wear the dress or don't and just come as a guest and she chose the latter. Then to top it off she made me pay for the alterations on a dress she has no intention of wearing!!

snap xx

OMG I'm on days!!!

Sijen I know how you feel, we need to do this too but I just keep putting it off cos I know its gonna be a nightmare lol. Oh and Kat lovely pictures x

Kat I'm with you on the 1st dance ... My H2B always does the 2 step shuffle whenever we are out lol so for this dance I couldnt even attempt to try & teach him without some (alot of) yelling hahaha.

Kat - Glad you got everything sorted out with the dresses!! and your hen night looked really good, glad you enjoyed it!!

Going for another facial this Fri & I think I may have even converted my H2B to try one, I gave him a little 5 min facial last night (I was bored lol) & I swear to go I caught him looking at himself in the mirror - smiling hahaha - MEN :-D

Today I have booked to get my nails done on the morning of the wedding and I'm getting my brows shaped and tinted and eyelashes tinted the saturday before. I'm only having this done cos I noticed my brows are going grey AAAHHHH!!!! Tomorrow we are going to see the wedding co-ordinator at the town hall registry office at 2.00pm, if I learn anything of interest I'll let you all know x

Omg I feel REALLY nervous today!!!

Finished all our place cards for the tables tonight and they look amazing if I do say so myself...

Just had an email from our DJ saying he's in hospital and can't do our wedding!!!!!! BUT the owner of the company is doing it instead and he "should have contacted us but it's all sorted so don't worry" - now I can't STOP worrying as the owner has not contacted us...Si said it'll be fine and not to worry about it but my stomach has suddenly started to flip!!

I can't believe how close we all are!!! I can't wait to finish school on Friday although I'll still have to go in next week to sort my room out at least I can relax lol (well that's the idea).

Can't remember if I've already mentioned this but it's my mates hen do this weekend at a spa so I've booked a BSN massage and I am going to take FULL advantage of the spa facilities lol...need to destress!!!
