    Talking to Stressed to max, gave me an idea for a thread before i go off to bed.

    Im a smoker, now dont know how many smokers we have here,
    but was wondering when will you have your last Ciggie on the day??

    Before you get dressed, or will you have to have them right up to getting in the car to keep ya nerves down??

    I think if im honest i will HAVE to have one just before getting into the car then spray myself all over with a lovely body spray...then chew gum or have an extra strong mint.. My nerves will be shot away!!

    I'm staying at the venue so I will be having them right up until the guests start arriving I think, and even then I might have to "go for a drive" to have another!

    Lol this is funny. I was thinking it would be about guests smoking not the bride. I used to smoke so know what you mean but my concern with smoking is my sister smokes like a trooper, 1 after the other, and I know as soon as the ceremomy she will be getting her fags out and making me wait for photos, but I dont want her ciggie smell all over my dress. Such a dilema lol x

    she'd make you wait for photos on YOUR day? I'd be telling her the photo is NOW, if you'd rather smoke your fag, go for it, you're not in the photo....

    IMO and its only my opinion and being a non -smoker i can totally see this in a different light! but i would hate to be sitting in the church as a guest or even as a member of the bridal party and havin the bride walk up the aisle either still reeking of smoke or too engorged in perfume to try and cover the smell of smoke that will prob still linger!!! if i were to be a smoker, i would have nipped out and had one before started getting ready!!

    but again ..opinion so please dont jump on me for that!!!!

    yeh understand that sometimes it might not be possible to leave it from morning til afternoon but for my weddding i would try and distract myself so im not thinking about having one or at least have a fag before the dress etc went on!

    like i said my p.o.v is from me being a non - smoker so there's only so much i can say before i have to stop and think "well im not a smoker i dont know how hard it would be for a smoker to keep away for so long"

    Agree with Becca. Smokers most of the time dont realize that it really stinks... clothes, hair, skin.... cant really cover it just in perfume.
    My opinion.

    Think I will just have a couple in the morning before I get into my dress and then wait until after ceremony and wedding breakfast etc. H2b doesn't really like me smoking so I will keep it to a minimum for his sake! But saying that if I am stressed out I think I will find it hard to resist!

    Kisseymad i stopped when i had a really bad chest infection (not saying go get a chest infection) but i didnt smoke while i had it mostly coz i couldnt breathe anyway but smoking just made it worse. When i got better i just didnt start again. I gave martyn all the smoking stuff (as he still smokes). Yes it is very hard and it is very stressful specialy seen as you are planning a wedding.

    I smoke too as does most of my family, my h2b smokes and a fair few of his family smoke, however i do agree with some of the girls,the people who dont smoke will obviously smell the ciggy smell alot stronger than someone who does smoke and so i feel that when i'm walking down the aisle i dont want the first (or 2nd) thing they notice about me is the fact i stink off ciggys or too much perfume and make them feel nauseated but i know i'm going to struggle with nerves and will want to smoke loads, is there another way without quiting (cannot quit atm because i've been smoking 8yrs "wow thats alot for my age" and with other reasons it'll be difficult)? xx

    how about this... on the day of your wedding get a nicorette patch on. (my dad used a nicorette inhalor thing and he had been smoking for 30 years when he quit!) (and they dont smell AND you can use them in the pub etc which is a bonus lol)
    i dont think you will have the time to have a fag with all the people who will want to see you and with everything going on, people have said you dont even get 5 mins just for you and h2b, so doubt you could fit in a fag break lol. and then use the wedding as a help to quit. so when youve been married for 6 months youve also been smoke free for 6 months too x

    Angelan the patches dont work for everyone, i have been there done that got the tshirt! and most of our guests attending smoke so dont see why it would make a difference, and so what i stink to high heaven of perfume? its MINE & H2B's wedding day!!

    Good point Halloween_Bride, i should take that into consideration really bcoz like you say its our day and besides i've smoked for so long tough if they dont like it, i just seem to be bothered about other peoples opinions instead of thinking it dont matter what they say x

    I agree with becca... a smelly bride can be offputting but again just my opinion as a biased non-smoker. I also dont think it looks nice during the reception seeing a bride with a fag in her mouth. We have friends who are smokers and they are watching all these wedding programmes with me and are quitting before the big day as even they dont agree with how it looks. Sorry but just an opinion. Crocodillo has the right idea.... be super busy so noone snaps you in the act

    cant wait to be Mrs Evans less than 3 weeks woooo
    start weight 10st 1.5 lbs
    weight now 8st 4.5 lbs
    total loss to date: 24.5 lbs now need to maintain!

    Hmmm good question Trish.

    I'm a smoker but as we will be in the hotel from the night before and I don't want to risk running into him before we're married I think I'll probably end up just not having one, as when I'm nervous I just need to wee more and as smoking makes you wee more it's probably a good idea not to smoke. So that's probably what I'll do or maybe I'll have given up by then?
