Ah that's great kel....get bk on it :-D

Ooh beautiful Bev!! Are you having a belt with it?

Thank you! Yes I've got a sparkle belt to go with it... It's so pretty and now I know why it never felt 100% perfect with the other dresses I've tried on because as soon as I stepped into this I was overwhelmed! Xxx

Thanks Kel! I love it. hope everything is going well with everyone xxx

Ah it's gorgeous dress hun!! :-) xxx

Awww I'm not surprised hun, it's stunning and you'll look amazing in it!! :-) xxx Our planning is going okay thanks hun, got most things sorted now, it's just bits and pieces and things like suits and bridesmaid dresses that can't really sort out til next year when we know what sizes they'll be and stuff. Only 6 weeks til we can make an appointment to go and give notice of marriage, so looking forward to getting that sorted too. It's coming round so quickly, it's exciting :-D xxx

Aww bless you hun, I bet! It's a major thing to have the dress sorted, after that, everything starts coming together nicely and you can relax more :-) xxx aww great, it's good when you know there's just bits and pieces left to do, there's not so much pressure to get on and do stuff to be able to get it done in time :-) oooh yeah, we'll both be giving notice soon, exciting!! xxx

:-) glad to help :-) think lulu used the same company for hers too... So if u want a pov from someone who's has already come and gone,she's the one to ask x

Thanks Bev :-)

Well I've had my new tattoo done, good job me and h2b love it cos its going to be on show on the day!

Just an hour. He works very fast but is very good too. I wouldn't trust anytime else now

just paid our next instalment for the venue, 2 more to go

dunno about you lot, but ive gone from thinking its aaaaages away to suddenly feeling like its right on top of me, even though theres still a whole year to go lol

I think that too, think its because its coming up to the 1yr mark and knowing we can give notice and stuff...,makes everything seem so much more real!

On I know I'm so bleeding mad I haven't emailed her bk in case I say something I regret... I'm hoping if I don't message her she'll jut send them, ridiculous for a business with 33000 sales! Wonder how many other ppl that's happened to, as if the invites havent cost enough as it is! Lol x

We paid through paypal so maybe I should threaten that I'll get a refund from them as ur money is protected, as its like a form of bullying... Like 'ah yeah ur products ready but u need to pay more or u don't receive it' bet they've stung lots of ppl x

oh what, I hope you get it sorted kelbel, I think that's poor business practice not giving a definite postage option as how do you know what to budget for?

ooh forgot to say im brewing my own champagne lol, obviously its jut a trial batch as its not gunna last a year, I need to see if it works, then sample my creation and see if it gets me pished lol

Find bridesmaids dresses and flower girl dress

Order cake and favours (doing this with the same lady)

Sort out gifts for our attendants

Plus all the other little bits like giving notice etc
