Yeah it's all sorted now. We've been planning for months. My moh had a panic attack the other night, she called the hotel up just to double check our reservation and they said we were not booked in bla bla bla and they were now fully booked. When she mentioned Portsmouth, they said but we are Southampton. Her partner had given her the Southampton number instead of Portsmouth.

CommentAuthorMrs B
It's nice when they put loads of effort in! I don't know how much mine have as they've kept it all secret! But a girl at work is a bridesmaid for a friend and she's done so much... I hope the bride appreciates it! X
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
My moh has always been one for going out of her way for people. She's kept lots of it secret from me.

Oh my goodness me! Last night we were talking about music for the meal part of the wedding. I said having a Jack Johnson, James Morrison and Jason Mraz album playing randomly, he did not want that as it had words and peeps would be tempted to sing, so he said how about some Irish Celtic music. Hmmm yeah I have Irish blood in me, so I've just got an album up to listen to bits and he said don't you dare put music like that on!!!!! I said well that is Irish Celtic music!!!! Jeez cannot win.

CommentAuthorMrs B
Haha oh dear! So has he decided what he wants now? We're having some sort of chill out cd which should be nice. But oh doesn't want to talk about the rest of the music , everytime I collar him it's not the right time lol to be fair to him thought he is working his socks off at the mo and it's just another added pressure. Hs even working all this weekend too :-( x
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
No he has not, he wants some kind of chill out music and think he thought that irish music was not exactly what it is. LOL!!!

Right ladies need some help have looked through numerous checklist to see what else i have to do but they don't really discuss the little details so thought it might be a good idea to help each other out what little bits have you done/ got left to do before the big day which is coming around extremely fast!!!!!
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
The only smaller things I need to do are to get the best man/ pageboy small gifts. Think that really is all I have left. I hope.

I need to sort out a special thank you gift for my mum as she and my step dad are paying for the flowers. we've had no offer of help or gestures from any of the other parents so not sure what we do about them. Think it might be a case of saying thankyou for being a part of the day but no actual gifts, its a tricky one
CommentAuthorClarabella
XTeresainLoveX im getting married at 2.30 so you'll be married before me!! I'll still be pooping myself while your saying I DO. I cant believe its come round so fast. I know i heard so many other ladies saying that it comes round so fast but didnt believe them.
Just been sitting tonight trying to work out all our house bills and what we still need to pay for the wedding and on paper we should be ok but im just basing it on estimate numbers cos im still waiting for rsvps to come back and the deadline for htem is the 10th so im hoping the postie will be delivering heaps of envelopes to me lol
Started losing weight last year 22/1/11 - 13 Stone 12 pounds

CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
Teresa, I need to do the same as Mum has given me a nice lump sum towards it. Claire, I cannot believe how fast things are happening now. It's my hen night this weekend and then it will be 3 weeks away, one of which I am in uni a full week (the week before the wedding) so it will fly by.

Aww Clarabella it'll be such a wonderful day and its so nice knowing that someone else will be getting married that day too. My hen do is 2 weeks on Friday and i'm really looking forward to that. Samantha have you got any ideas what to get your mum as a thankyou gift, i'm really struggling as I want it to be something so special. She's helped me through so much that whatever i get her i will feel it isn't enough
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I have no idea, will most likely be a bunch of flowers but will browse the net to get ideas.

I'm having a craft day today. Making the place names, table names and starting on the table plan. Exciting!
CommentAuthorXTeresainLoveX
Ooh thanks Samantha will have a look, that sounds like a good idea x I'm in the middle of doing my table plan place names too redsez. Blue Peter eat your heart out haha
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I'm not doing place names, they are being allocated a table and sit where ever on that table.

CommentAuthorXTeresainLoveX
Now that would be easier Samantha but we've got awkward relatives i.e. parents and step parents so have to have them completely separate, oh the joys of split parents lol
CommentAuthorPB
Tell me about it Teresa i think we might have been better with seperate venues rather than seperate tables! I have finished and printed my oos, eventually, thank goodness and today i have iced my cakes....getting there slowly xxx
CommentAuthorXTeresainLoveX
We've still got to show our draft copy of the oos to the vicar then we're printing them out and i'm adding some ribbon etc to them. I've got 100 to do lol. Finished the table planner properly tonight and tomorrow i'm going to make the favour/name cards then that's one less job to do. Hen do is 2 weeks on Friday Yay

My parents have split but no chance is my biological father coming anyway.
Claire, I can understand your feeling, I think. I am very excited but also in the same breath I am thinking is this for real, is it really happening. Very strange feeling.
Paid my cakes off yesterday so need to sort out meeting with the person doing the centre pieces and that's done. My table plan and names are in the process of being done.

Clarabella and Teresa - im getting married on the 19th too! at 13:30! eeek!
Glad to see its all falling into place for everyone, i havent much to do now so am taking my time with it and all paid off too which is great!
Marie - how did your dress fitting go? x
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
Mrs B2B, I've got time off now as well. I do go back the week running up to the wedding but as long as everything is sorted that's fine. Not got my proper timetable yet but at the moment it looks like I go in Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of that week. The Friday though my son has a hospital appointment, I'm hoping they give him a late afternoon one so that I can leave uni early that day and go to it and then sort that last bits out that need picking up.
When do I pick my dress up???
Our wedding day - 6 October 2012
CommentAuthorMrs B
im not sure? I thought it was a couple of days before the wedding or the day before? i guess it depends if you have anywhere to store it - i dont lol if i cant get it the day before and take to hotel i will have to leave round in laws as if i leave at my mums it may smell of smoke as she smokes in the house! But i would have thought it depends on the bridal shop.....
CommentAuthorXTeresainLoveX
I'm lucky that i'm staying at my mum's the night before and she has a pet and smoke free house so will be able to take the dresses to her. I finish paying for my dress on 8th October but think will leave getting them til the day before the wedding. Finished my table plan so will upload a pic in my album for anyone who wants to take a look x
CommentAuthormarie08

table plan is really pretty teresain, bit different. did it take you long? bet it was more of a headache knowing who to put where.we still have ours to do ..hoping to pin h2b down this week along with the vows.x
CommentAuthorXTeresainLoveX
It took me ages to work out how to design it, that was the biggest headache but once i started it didn't take too long. I'm my own worst critic so it had to be perfect. Managed to sort the tables out and have got the parents at different ends of the room haha. I have alot of embossing equipment as I make alot of crafty stuff so was able to make the paper look nice, but don't think you can see it properly in the photo. The doves I've used all the way through from my invites to the tables decorations and order of service, bit of a theme lol
CommentAuthormarie08
yes did notice the doves throughout your items.good though,dont they represent fertility or purity?
CommentAuthorXTeresainLoveX
Crikey well if they do I'm not going for the fertility option haha

Table plan looks lovely Teresa.
This is a computerised copy of what mine will look like. Having someone else do it. Only difference is that the back ground will be butterflies like the table name. For some reason everytime I put it on here it came up at the very top instead of where I wanted the pics to be.

Men's Favour Box.JPG
These are my favour boxes (but not filled them yet) and I'm putting the names on them so i don't need to do separate name cards, thought it personalises the favours boxes more too
