    I spoke to soon about the diet had a crisp craving and there were some in the cupboard so just had the 1 pack haha, then I had bacon sarnie for lunch today as made them to early for my clients and had gone cold and hard,
    My sil just informed me my brother and niece are coming to the wedding but not the blessing they are coming to Gibraltar so pleased I did not go ahead and pay for them at the blessing. Told the planners for the blessing I will pay them before due day. They can wait a few more days.
    I have both planners on my facebook and love seeing all the pictures from both places. We are going to go over when I am home and have a nose at one of the weddings that's take place where we are having the blessing. 8 weeks tomorrow for the blessing and 7 weeks Friday for the registry office. Going to be so bored after it is all over!

    Yes your planners will soon be in touch when they want the money Mrs D! Always the way. Hope your dress fitting went well xx

    Family driving me nuts haha! Mum didn't want me to know about brother and niece coming, First I thought it was to the blessing now I find out it was to the registry office, Now he has found out everyone is going to the blessing and just my mum, stepdad and 2 friends are coming to registry office. He has kicked off about it so now my mum has paid for his and my nieces flights to come to Spain. She still not told me and she is asking if my sister has booked car hire from airport. By the way I am still in the dark about all this and not meant to know, Haha. Got invoice for the blessing and about to pay for that. Went to the green shop yesterday the stuff I wanted is only available online so that is all ordered. Think that is it now, Just boxes to fill with sweets which can wait till I am home after my next shift and then just sit back and try and relax.

    Haha that made me laugh Mrs D. He may do as he is told next time lol!.

    My SIL keeps saying sorry for all the hassle with my brother coming over sort of last minute for the wedding and that I should tell my mum that I know. Have said if they want to play silly games with my wedding I know what is happening just let them get on with it. Would be different if they just turned up at the church and no food and seats for them.

    Tried to pay for the blessing this evening but don't know what I done wrong but it wont go through so J going to bank in the morning to sort it. It will fill his time him after we have Skyped first thing. Don't know where I would be without Skype it is hard enough as it is being away so long.

    Sweets should be here tomorrow then need to try rearranging my hand luggage to get everything in it. One day I will go home with a light case lol! x

    Wedding planner been in touch she missed out the order of services on the invoice, I also noticed that she missed out the petal basket for my flower girl! Now my brother and niece are coming have to tell her 2 more meals and 2 more chair sashes so some more expense to come. Need to find a nice poem to go on the back of the order of service, wanted the serenity prayer or footprints in the sand but J said that it is not really for weddings. x

    Pleased your weekend went well Rachael I am still stuck at work but 96 hours and be waking up in J's arms and 2 weeks off :) xx

    Mrs D that is terrible, I may get sort and to the point e mails, If I tell her something she usually replies noted at least it is a response, Today I asked what time the hairdresser is coming on the day and is it the hotel hairdresser they use, she replied straight away and said they will be there between 8am and 8.30am yikes, The ceremony is 11am, Poor J will be kicked out of the room very early haha x

    48 hours to go and will be on that plane home! Oh boy cant wait, been tiring today as my client a little poorly but hopefully better tomorrow, spent day catching up on ironing and started to clean the oven, getting ready for home day! :) x

    HI All

    Sorry not been on here for the last week.
    Mrs D I hope your wedding planner has been in touch by now, If not I would be screaming at her.
    Been home a week now, was so tired for the first few days, been a while since I have felt this tired after a shift.
    We have been to the wedding venue and spoken with the planners again. J now wants candles in the church, There was a wedding on while we were there and had sneak peek in the church they had the hearts with 30 candles in them and J loved them so another e mail to the planners and tell them. Had last dress fitting it is still a little snug but hopefully I wont put any weight on then next 6 weeks and it will be fine. Living on Salads and the odd meal out without pudding. Totally unheard of for me.

    Was expecting a argument with J yesterday I managed to blurt out my previous partners name in a conversation felt like crap, he hasn't mentioned it but he probably heard it. Have done it a couple of times, Once I shouted it at J as diamond came out and instead of calling J called out previous partner tears and reassurances given then, My previous partner died over 3 years ago and was together for 24 years. J is very understanding and he knows I am crazy about him.

    Yes next month we get married and if possible even more excited to the point I am probably driving J nuts haha x
    Take care everyone and remember we are marrying our soul mates don't worry about the little stuff, You are getting married that's what counts xxx

    Finally got my wedding seating plan finished, Laptop playing up today and taken practically all day to sort it.
    Well think we are sorted, Have got J around my little finger and he has agreed to the flamenco dancers, He also wants candles in the church. so a little bit more to pay out again that's if the flamenco dancers are still available. I will e mail my planner start of the week let her have the weekend off haha!
    Congratulations on paying of the ceremony Mrs D and hopefully now your wedding planner will get her finger out. Have arranged for my mum to get her hair done in Gibraltar and I will probably wait and get manicure in Gibraltar as well as will be worried about them breaking while loading car up for drive down.
    Back to work on Wednesday don't know where these 2 weeks have gone, But only one 2 week shift to go then 6 weeks off! cant wait x
    Hope you are all having a good weekend xx

    My MOH is a godsend she has saved me! My careless hubby wiped the computer clean to install Wind0ws10 and he said he backed up everything but he didn't and I lost half of My Wedding Stationary Cue Meltdown and I was going to give up on this wedding thinking no one else cares but My MOH My Twinny I Call Her sent herself everything she done so she had a backup She also spa sit was my idea to So for once My Head was thinking straight!!
    So I will download them and sort them out call up the stationary people and get the ball rolling without My Itinerary!! You don't want me to get started on what my MOH thinks of my wedding co ordinator!!

    Lil personal info we had to have our 5yr old cat out down because of his heart murmur worsened into heart disease and pushed a giant clot out which unfortunately led to us putting him down he is no longer suffering but we are this was last Saturday and since then u have been pushing away my hubby being cold towards him not his fault mine. As I have him that kitten he was from my litter and I gave him the kitten a month before we became a couple and he was always a symbol of Our Love Our Relationship Our Commitment to eachother he was Our Fur Baby and having him out down feels like a omen to me making me doubt are we meant to be but then I should of felt that when my engagement ring broke in Uni buts it's now new and old as old stones and new metal and bodywork but that's didn't stop us! I Love My Hubby and My Son Our Family and I will push past this They are My Life My Forever Always For Eternity Lovers and They are keep me going They Make My Life Worth Living So Much to look forward too We Have A Bright future! I was doubting but I am no longer doubting I was doubting because I am numb and heartbroken from The Loss Of Our Smokey Will Never Forget Him will give him the Purrfect send off!
    I Love My Hubby He Loves Me We Have Been through toght times before and we always pull through just need to keep the Candle Flame Lit and Take Care of it Nurture It I will always Love Him as he has accepted me for me and I have accepted him for the way he is and we Make Perfect children if I do say so myself *Bias Alert* He is My Bestfriend My Otherhalf My Soulmate He Has fixed My Broken heart putting it back together piece by piece and he and our family Our the last pieces to my puzzle heart and make me feel complete
    Sorry for the Long rant needed too Xxx P.S Thankyou for reading

    Mrs D so sorry to hear about your cat.
    Rachael the table plans were quite easy as I put friends together and family together I just had to make sure there is a table between my sister and step dad. Stayed at my mums and stepdads last night, and he was asking if he needed to make a speech told him no as he is giving me away in Gibraltar and my brother in law is giving me away in spain, my bil will make a speech there and my stepdad can do a speech in Gibraltar if he wishes, He was not happy asked why my bil was giving me away told him bil been good to me when my partner passed away just over 3 years ago now and I want as many of the family involved as possible. Just have a feeling he will try it on at the blessing.
    Still have to book the flamenco dancers not sure if there will be sangria but if they want it I am sure the waiters will make it up for them. Need to book the extra candles as well and tell them exactly how I want the hearts hung in the church.
    Have left J to fill 37 boxes with chocolates and he has his speech to do as well as a poem for the order of service. so should keep him out of trouble while I am at work! lol x
    Mrs D jack done that to my laptop completely lost everything. Luckily I had word on my mobile phone and had been e mailed the templates for the table plans so had kept them otherwise I would of had to start from the beginning, Have told him never ever to touch my laptop again haha! I tell him with such a straight face he never knows if I am serious or not! hehe x

    Thankyou CarolH81 and In finding table plan hard as I have such a small wedding party and most do know eachother but i think it will be awkward as they may fill like they got lumped together I don't have that many tables either their big round tables can seat 10 on each table well they say max 8 so not to over squished.

    My table plan cannot be complete don't know all my numbers yet and haven't got all my food orders in either if they don't reply in taking it as they are not coming and they are out!

    Going to get Chris to make JPEG leafs (Im useless with photoshop can't use it to save my life I'm more PowerPoint word paint etc type of girl) and I will get it printed and think I will just wrote down their names in my own handwriting probs be cheaper and the table plan I will change that up too may keep how Twinny made it but instead get the leafs printed out and hand write names on it instead!

    Is the table plan meant to be big and mounted?
    I'm starting to feel I cant be bothered to have one atm

    Waiting for a few more wedding things to be completed and sent to me hoping they look beautiful as it should tie in with me theme it may go on the cake table or with the gifts or sweet cart we shall see
    hubby says I'm parcel made I have orders far to much stuff (Ooops)

    Carol that is sweet to have your bil walking you down the aisle I think it shows the bond you still have with him and you know you can still rely on him as he helped you through the loss of your 1st husband Xxx

    I have to change my table plan, Work colleague phoned me up said I have booked flights staying with so and so who I used to work with and is coming to the wedding and the blessing, so now have her to add luckily I can squeeze her into the same table plan so not too much of a hassle.
    Mrs D this is my 1st wedding, even though I was with my partner for 24 years we never married, He never wanted to and I was never too bothered but with J it is different and we are so connected in so many ways we even say the same things at the same time, Bit scary at times haha. My brother in law is my sisters husband.

    My table plan is a large picture frame with smaller picture frames on the inside, I have managed to get pink templates with butterfly's around the edges, It probably a bit too large but we can make use of it after the wedding. It can be whatever you want, I have seen them on picture frames with sticks out of buckets and I have seen table plan made of lego, That looked great but would hate to put it together, Little figures around tables with names on! There is a picture of my picture frame I am using as my table plan on my wall x

    I thought you was married before I apologize Carol, I didn't know wow 24yrs together and he didn't want to get married that must of been difficult for you as you have alwYs wanted to get married. So you brother in law from your sisters husband helped you through the grieveing period that was very sweet of him and you must be so thankful towards him I think letting ion walk you down the aisle is lovely will mean so much to you =D
    Me and my hubby say the same thins at the same time too it's amazing how you can be on the same level and think the same at the exact same time it's freaky! My oh Bestfriend says we always do it without realising =D

    And this table plan is really annoying my MOH trying to help me sort it out but I'm still chasing people for RSVP and food options of they don't reply before 23rd they are not coming they've had far to much time to RSVP and give me menu options when they've known about my wedding since 2013!! So enough is enough I say

    Still haven't heard from the wedding co ordinator I need to top up my phone and see if I can get hold of her and also need to get hold of stationary place and get my order in as waiting for her like waiting for Christmas Xxx

    Mrs D when my partner died I was living in Spain on my own, everyone told me to move back to the UK, My sister and BiL let me move in with them and put up with me for almost 4 months till I found somewhere else to live and a job, I went back to nothing. After 8 months I decided that I couldn't live in England as Spain is my home, found it too hard with the cost of living etc. So the February I went "home" for a week and managed to get a interview with the company I am with now. They recruit in Spain to work in the UK, Went back to England gave my notice in with my Job and gave notice to my landlady luckily I only had a 6 month contract. Didn't even have job confirmed. No matter what I was going home! haha. Went for weeks training beginning of May and got the job and have been commuting back and forwards from Spain since. Been doing it for just over 2 years now. If it wasn't for that brave or maybe selfish step deciding I was going home then me and J would not have gotten together. He had actually moved to Ireland the Christmas I was back in the UK but that didn't work out with him either. It is strange how some things work out. Our higher powers working together. When I told people I was moving home to Spain they all said it was a mistake including my BIL but I can be a bit stubborn when I want. Now I couldn't be happier, 4 weeks today and I get married. One thing I thought would never happen.
    I got my stationary for table plan from Et$y cost £18 and well worth the money very pleased with it. As for meals they are all getting what they are given haha. We decided on Chicken stuffed with peppers as some people don't eat duck and got a couple that don't eat pork so this was the safest option. They are getting 4 starters, main course and a chocolate fondant cake which is to die for. plus canapés with mariachi band while we have photos done.

    Oohh WoW it is crazy how things work out so if you never went back home to Spain you would never of met J yes that is deffinstley higher power workings putting you two together! I don't think it was a selfish move I think you went where your heart is and that is Spain so if your following your heart you will never steer wrong I say!
    And I still haven't sorted out the stationary I hope it doesn't take to long as if I don't have replays back by 23rd that's it I will choose everything for whoever hasn't chosen and put down who I deffo know is coming to my wedding so it's time to put me foot down as u will order my stationary on the 24th I hope it doesn't take more than 4weeks as I won't really have a lot to print out a small wedding would be bigger if people didn't have work and uni then my wedding would have more family their but things work out in the end I will just say you missed out on one of the best days of my life on my wedding day I am disappointed about some people not coming and others have never really been that interested in my wedding just kept questioning the location why ain't you just having a registry office wedding etc A Few Simple Words

    The crazy thing is we knew each other for about 9 years before we got together, I was in a relationship and eventually so was he. He moved to Ireland and didn't work out so moved back to Spain, I moved to England and didn't work out so moved back to Spain as well, Strange how things work out and was probably meant to be.
    Think that is the worst thing about RSVPs some of them drove me nuts. family saying they can't come and when I had sorted everything out they turn round and say they are coming now haha! It is your and your H2B day Mrs D do it how you wont don't worry about other people. I am just getting so impatient now I want it over and done with, panicking that my dress will be too tight, even though I think I can take the back panelling out and just use the lace up! and worry that the family are going to start arguing haha! My sister has asked me to book a table at a local restaurant for 10 people or 12 if me and J are going but she has missed my mum and step dad out, am fed up with the arguing in the family, am tempted to book a table for 19 and include my mum, stepdad and j's family so they can just sort it all out before the wedding.

    So exciting isn't it. only got 27 days to go yikes! So looking forward to it. Had a dream last night or should I say early this morning cant remember exactly what it was about but woke up upset! haha! Weird dreams about the wedding probably have more of them the closer it gets.
    Don't think I could leave everything so close to the wedding to get stuff I am practically all done. just need to e mail planner tomorrow to let her know 1 more person and to book flamenco dancers and the heart candles. J will have 38 boxes to fill with sweets and his poem and speech to do and that is that.
    Start filling in forms soon to change my name cant wait for it to be official haha x

    So much to do so little time I just hope my hubby gets more involved as I thought he would be more involved already by he seems to have his head in the house move even those my weddings came first and has been booked since 2014 makes me feel like he's not bothered and why should it go ahead when. Like no one cares think I'm having a blur day today so not my happy cherry self may be coming down with something Xxx

    J has filled 39 boxes with sweets this evening, bless him he was knackered afterwards as he had to make up the boxes first as they came flat packed. As I had a extra guest didn't get have enough of a certain chocolate so he had to put couple of different ones in, Stuck her name on the bottom so everyone else gets the same lol!
    Hope you aren't coming down with anything Mrs D sure it is just a blip! I felt bit like that a while ago couldn't be ar$ed, J's son not even sorted his suit out yet he wants to wait til we go to Scotland in a couple of weeks to help him. I sent him photos and name of the suit his dad is wearing but hey ho! I have been pretty lucky have had a free reign with the planning just told J and it was mainly whatever you want! He told me if he didn't like something though!
    Right I am off to sleep, rubbish night last night lets hope tonight is better.

    I always wake early morning to help my client. take forever to get to sleep afterwards, keep thinking about the wedding and how everything is going to turn out at the blessing. Keep imagining what J will think when he sees me for the 1st time in my dress.

    Just got e mail from planner in Gibraltar she has not received translated copy of J's divorce papers, panicking now, she has e mailed the translator herself hope she gets back to me very soon.

    My cousins ex wife has just sent me a beautiful ring cushion which was lovely of her. Probably wont use it on the day as no ring bearers but will take some pictures with the rings attached and its a lovely keepsake x

    Good luck with your rehearsal Rachael, Mine is the Sunday before! They wanted to do it earlier but we are in Gibraltar do the actual deed (getting married haha!)
    Spent a fortune on my dress, paid it in 2 instalments and adjustments as I went along, Now I have totalled it up cant believe how much it has come to with accessories etc opps! lol! Least I get to wear it twice, 1st time will have to be very careful not to get anything down it so can wear it again few days later for the blessing.
    woke at 5.40am helped my client and then couldn't get back to sleep all I am doing is looking at photos and thinking of our big days! x

    If it rains in Gibraltar then I wont wear my wedding dress as really want it for the blessing as that is where all my friends and family will see it, There is only 6 of us in Gibraltar so just the legal side of it really! We are hoping to move next year to somewhere bit bigger at the moment we are staying at mine which is 1 bedroom apartment and J's is only a studio which he has up for sale, whether or not it sells who knows, We have that many clothes between us we are wanting 3 bedrooms so one can be turned into a dressing room and hoping it will be big enough so I can put my dress on a dressers mannequin and keep it on show!. other bedroom will be a study, No family staying we have agreed to that already, Lovely to see family when they come over to Spain but we like our space and as soon as we get home we tend to strip and wouldn't be able to do that with family around lol!.
    Was asked today what day would be our anniversary, It will most probably be the 9th Oct but have told J that we need to have to celebrate 3 times in October, 1 for the day we get married, 1 for the blessing on 14th Oct and the day we got together on 27th Oct, don't expect presents for every day but at least a meal out!
    Bought a jacket today for the evening of the blessing in case it gets chilly, Hopefully that will be the last thing I needed to get, but then have said that before x

    Haha but it would mean me buying him presents as well!. Am now trying not to spend on my credit card as want to get it back down to zero and get some savings and then can look at leaving work in UK and look for work at home in Spain.
    We were talking about wedding presents today, have told him we need to buy each other something so we have a keepsake from each other to keep forever. I have already got him a pocket watch. Had it a couple of months now, Knew if I didn't tell him to get me something he would feel rubbish on the day when I gave him his present. He said do we give the present on the morning or after etc, Poor thing not got a clue. With his 1st marriage they never bothered with gifts so had no idea.
