Busy time this week for you ladies .
After nearly an hour 90 people are now organised on seating plan :) was actually surprised as people warned me it could take ages but it was straight forward!
Somehow always connected , finally became friends .
Friends became soul mates :)

yes i have a busy week of pampering too. I didn't have much of a problem sorting our seating plan either saying that we haven't got 90 guests we have half of that so it was very much straight forward. Im off work and uni for the next 2 weeks so im going to try enjoy it and get everything put in place for the fast approaching big day. I had a courtesy call from the venue yesterday which I thought was a lovely gesture, I had a lovely chat to the wedding organiser and she put my mind at ease. It is a very exciting time and the atmosphere is great at home, the kids are very excited too

Flower girl shoes orderd got 2 sizes for each to try n 28 days to return..
My sil doesnt seem happy about it she likes to be in control she bought 1st dresses for them last yr totaly against wat i ever wanted i hated em so we changed them as they were sale dresses we had to pick sumit else again i wasnt happy. Bt as i pointed out 9 mmth ago "it wont fit rose by then"(my neice) so get nxt size.. she didnt and wudnt adament it wud fit. I eas right didnt fit so we had to get more! Bt this time i got what i wanted
Also her dress shoes etc r all what SHE wanted.. nevermind anyway i txt her earlier n said what size is she in shoes from dif places she said im not getting her feet measured untill end of term and im going ro buy the shoes then. I remember she said shes a 6.5 in cl4rks and 7s from a5da r huge so weve orderd 6 and 7 to try i msg her and sent her pic n said this is what rhey r having, her reply was "well at least uve found something you like" i replied and shes ignoring me lol
So shes clearly nt happy ;-) what a shame! Under 5 weeks to go and for the past yr my words have constantly been "if u want.. whatever u think" and so on. And when it comes to what MY daughter and neice r wearing its down to me not her. Specially as it shudnt be siena(my lg) must wear what rose does it shud be the other way. I pick for siena and rose must wear the same and siena is mine. I didnt want rose to be a flowegirl bt it was sort of forced upon ne when she bought the 1st dress! Automatically assumed she shud be
Sry rant over haha
Heres their shoes

love them nails Gem, not made my mind up yet has to how im having mine, I was thinking just a standard french manicure but like the idea of a touch of sparkle. I dont have too much to do this week actually apart from sort the things we are taking into the venue ourselves (decor ect) I have noticed that the summer sales are starting in high street shops though so i might go pick up some honeymoon stuff

I have a good mixture of emotions at the moment but im oddly calm. I just keep racking my brain to make sure we haven't forgot any thing. me and my OH keep saying to each other we cant believe its only 12 days away. Im pretty sure I will let a few tears sneak away during the ceremony if not before

CommentAuthorAmandaK74
sounds like a jam packed day but you have gave yourself time, which is a good idea, we originally wanted a later wedding but 13;00 was the latest has there is a wedding already booked for the later time, but im happy with 13:00. hope your dress fitting goes well I cant wait to be able to pick mine up from my sisters(she is dress sitting) the day before, ive not seen it since i picked it up a few weeks ago

Dress fitting went well only needs about an inch up at front and taking in half inch either side of bust. Nothing to do on waist. Adding a bustle just incase and sewing on a brooch shes already sorted my belt and not charging for it as it took her no time at all
Now just to wait! She said atm shes starting 18th july weddings so probably be the week before the wedding that i go bk. Or even the week of! :-D
Suits r all paid now just alterations and the dj to square up with :-D
CommentAuthorMidgetGem89
I picked my veil up also cos wen i was there the other week i asked to try it with my hair and she gave me a different veil but labeled up to me. So i thort best grab it while i know its the right 1 this time lol x

I would say invite them to the evening and not the day time that way you dnt need to add them anywhere on table plans. So close to the qedding them kind of changes really shouldnt be getting put on u!
CommentAuthorAmandaK74
totally agree with Gem its up to you anyway not your family in laws. OH stag went well and the house wasn't in too bad of a state, same cant be said for the best person though they was in a right state haha it was actually entertaining to see when I got back home. Anyway that's it now Hen and Stag are over and its our 6 day countdown, Im starting to get all emotional over the thought of my wedding day being in less than a week

CommentAuthorAmandaK74
oh dont go thinking that, it is something that cannot be helped or avoided, you will still have a good time im sure, unfortunately life as a habit of throwing a spanner in the works ,but its how you deal with it that makes the difference. go out and try enjoy as much as possible, I know it will be hard as your thoughts are most likely with your friend,however im sure she wouldn't want it to spoil your night. my thoughts are with you and your friend at this difficult time x

CommentAuthorAmandaK74
aww Gem im so sorry to hear your plans are not going as you saw them, especially when you have put so much effort into it and it is so close. Try to see it as a niggle the 2 most important people to be there are you and your groom, you love each other and that is all that matters the rest is just pleasing your guests, however I know how important it is to share that love in front of all your loved ones. maybe you could have a belated hen after the wedding ( a good night out with all your buddies) And maybe to celebrate one of your anniversaries you could renew your vows abroad just like you wanted to.
Hope this has helped x

Thats a really good idea hun thankyou the past 2 days has been bad news after bad news but im over it and have sorted my head. Im just glad shes getting treatment so.quick!.. ive booked a boxed boquet to go to her house the night before she goes in and night before weddin. To the price of her posie im also going to take round her presents etc that i got and for her daughter. Just have a dress that is no use to any1 lol.will have to try sell it!
H2b has cancled the week off work after the weddin so hes bk to work straight away he was going to work 1st week of factory shut down which gave him 3 days holidays bk that we were going to use nxt month but now cant
All been a bit of a nightmare
How r u feeling is this week a busy crazy 1 for u??
CommentAuthorAmandaK74
aww glad youve had time to reflect. the week started off rather calm (calm before the storm i think) a few of my friends was asking me how was I able to seem so relaxed about it lol. but today has seen the stress begin, im having mixed feelings of excitement, worry, nerves and stress. I know i don't need to feel like this but I cant help it. I keep going over everything to make sure we don't forget anything. All said aside, the atmosphere at home is great everyone is so happy and excited. Im in uni tomorrow morning, then going through to my mums to pick some of the venue stuff she has been keeping safe for me. then friday is jam packed with taking things to the venue, picking up the cake and a few hours in the beauty salon having my nails, eyebrows and lashes. To be honest im getting all emotional just thinking about it haha. n ot be long and it will be your turn Gem
