Yeah H2b's passport has finally arrived so just added our passport details to our honeymoon booking and booked travel insurance for us both. Only £19.50 for us both for a single trip so good deal :)

I wouldn't expect anything back at all. I think it's just nice to get the groom a little something, especially if he feels like it isn't really 'his' day and more the bride's day.. nice little gesture :) xx

Thats a brilliant price! I was thinking of getting something similar but getting a pocket watch rather than a wrist watch as I have previously bought h2b a wrist watch and he wears it all the time! Are you up to date with the rest of your planning? :) x

I love the idea of pocket watches, Jessica. We were thinking of buying pocket watches for the best men and my dad and getting them engraved xx

CommentAuthorJessica29792
Yeah! I think its a very personal and gentlemanly thing to get! I was thinking for my dad of getting him something which says something along the lines of "when I was little I used to follow in your footsteps, now I will be walking alongside you. I will forever be your little girl". Something like that! And for my mum getting her something which says ""we used to play dress up together, now it is time to play dress up once more" Not sure what to get it put onto though xx

Urrrgh why is it guests say yes then change their mind; doesn't matter that the deadline for day rsvps was Monday....now have 4 unexpected spaces with no idea who to fill them with. I wanted to invite two more people from work but I don't think work will let me as I'm already taking 3 people off the shop floor; not including me :S
Sigh; at least the photobooth,photographer and venue is all paid off now.

Right trying to think of things that need to be done.
- Go to B00ts and do that lip stick test thing so I can find the right one for me for the wedding.
- Collect hair crystal pins or get someone else too.
- Arrange a final fitting/dress alterations
- Pay final balance on Honeymoon (Hopefully doing Wednesday when cheque clears)
- Pay final balance on strawberry tower (Need to be paid a week before)
- Pay final balance on Venue decorators (Paying next month when paid)
- Pay final balance of hair and make up
- Pay first half of final balance for cake
- Final suit fitting for the men and pay off final balance (28th Feb 2015)
I think that is everything at the moment. -

All would be going so well if the hair and make up woman wasn't stressing me out; she said in her email that my final balance is £162 when it should be £112...I'm not paying an extra £50 when I don't need too so hopefully that will be sorted out when she emails back.
Suit fitting went well today even if h2b turned up late with the BM and SFOG so me; my sister and my father were stood like idiots waiting for them to turn up and kept apologising. My dad got fitted then they went. All was well in the end though even if the next appointment clients turned up 35 minutes early!!!! So that was a little awkward standing there with them in the small room :S

Well hair and make up is sorted; I was right... My strawberry tower is paid off :D Now I only have the cake (which h2b's parents should be paying for if they ever get round to it); DJ (Pay on the night so will give money to my parents to give it to him) and hair and make up which will be paid the day before when I get my manicure and pedicure done :D
Also got some novelty cufflinks for the SFOG;FOB and BM which look great. My dad was touched when I gave him his. A bargain at £2.30 each as well :D

My place names finally arrived yesterday as well although the woman said she had sent them on the 28th Feb yet the parcel clearly said it was dispatched 4th mar... Oh well they are here and all good except a few which are loose fitting (I'll sort it out myself). Can't get in touch with the venue wedding coordinator either as she is away and the person covering her doesn't have any details of the wedding so have to wait for her to return though haven't been told when :( Grrr

My wedding coordinator finally got back to me though she didn't apologise for not letting me know where she was or the unnecessary stress...anyhow we have booked our final meeting for the 10th April :D So it will be a busy week as have my final dress fitting on the 7th April :D
Also had my first sun bed session today (I know the risks but it is only for 3 minutes a week in the run up to the wedding); it was kinda scary closing the door as the heat made me feel like I was going to pass out but all was ok; even got a bit of colour which I was expecting for my first one. :P
