    best idea is to get most things like flowers, cake etc delivered to venue (if not having a church wedding) and if you have a good venue you can arrange to take favours etc earlier. Use suppliers linked in with the chosen venue so you know they are likely to be reliable and will have most of the things you need for the big day there already,,, eaving best man to remember the rings and you to remember your dress and jewellry :) Im just panicking though not that I forget something but that one of those suppliers e.g,. florist doesnt show up. Really wouldnt know what to do but that is my biggest worry!

    Same here, my maid of honour and I almost forgot our flowers. The other bridesmaids had gone ahead and I remembered to send them off with theirs but then while we waited for the car to come back and get us we had to quickly lace up my dress which wasn't done yet, and then were in such a rush we almost walked out without the flowers. So I guess what I also forgot was to start putting my dress on in plenty of time, as it takes longer than you think!!

    I forgot to check which ships were in. With Saints playing at home and 2 luxury liners in dock, I was nearly 40 minutes late getting to my wedding. Groom was a nervous wreck and my phone was ringing constantly to check on progress. Our driver was an absolute star and kept me calm. It was good getting cheered by the Southampton home fans on the main bridge into southampton though.
    Also in the rush to get into the service I forgot to hand my 5 year old son over to my mum and he went off to find his friends sitting at the back of the room instead of sitting beside the bridesmaids at the front.

    knowing me I'll forget the rings ... or worse wake up on the wedding day and forget it's the wedding day! Just slowly ease myself out of bed to be thrown into the bathroom in a mad panic by my mum and mil2b!

    I've got a big long checklist that keeps getting longer by the day but its keeping me on track and making sure we don't forget anything major. Too be honest as long as we get married I'm not too bothered if something small is forgotten. I think we have all the important things covered.

    I gave my save the dates out with the xmas cards and I will give the invites out by hand as I see everyone as the people coming to the wedding are all people we see all the time anyway. I have to admit though that I deliberately have kept some things off the budget! What the h2b doesn't know doesn't hurt him. ;0)

    Oooo you are doing well. The h2b is paying for the wedding so he likes to know exactly how much he is spending and where it is going but I keep buying the little things like the favours, invites, ribbons, place cards, my accessories etc so he doesn't see any of that. He isn't silly and keeps asking me if I have put it on the budget and then he checks it and says you didn't put that on how much was it? I then say I can't remember and that it wasn't that much so it doesn't make a big difference. I figure I can't do much at the moment as I'm on the sick but I will do what I can when I can. I'm sure over the year I will have spent rather a lot but it doesn't matter and it is worth every penny to marry the man of my dreams.

    I had a car accident a couple of years ago and suffer with chronic pain now. Physio is helping out no end and I've made such a big improvement since I started it but still got a long way to go. I can't wait to get back to work again as I really miss it. I'm doing open uni at the moment but it isn't the same and it would be nice to earn my own money again.

    Lmao Stevie_dee that is funny. I'm glad they let you cancel and re do them though.

    I didn't think that I had done that much damage when it happened. It hurt a lot but I thought it would calm down. By all accounts my whiplash etc is OK and no major damage but my brain has just become really sensitive and registers things that shouldn't hurt as pain. Sometimes the h2b can just brush my back slightly and it shoots pain up me yet other times it is fine. I can't physically hurt myself or cause any damage but the pain is still very real. Its just strange how the mind works. Hopefully in time it will get better....

    It isn't good. Sometimes it is crippling and if I've done to much I can't get out of bed etc. I'm starting to manage it a lot better than I used to through pacing etc so its allowing me to gain more control of it. I tend to know when I have over done things and pushed myself too hard. I was so lucky I moved as my last doctors weren't that good but as soon as I moved over here my doc sent me to the pain clinic and physio. The physio sort out both the physical side of things (which has been a god send) and also the mental side of things like how to deal with it, pacing and understanding things so you don't feel like you are going mad. I can't thank them enough for what they have done for me. I would say though that tens machines work far better than pain killers.

    I've been having acupuncture but its stopped now thank god. I hated being a pin cushion and it used to feel like needles sticking in me when they shouldn't hurt.

    I have to admit that I always watch out for other drivers and I send the h2b mad with my shrieking when I think they are too close. I've had CBT for it and I have calmed down a bit but I still can't help over reacting to everything. The trouble is it doesn't matter how good your driving is all it takes is one idiot and you don't stand a chance. The guy that hit me hit me from behind when I was stopped because the idiot was too busy picking his Mc Flurry up off the floor that he had dropped. They don't realise that their stupidity can ruin someone else's life.

    I wish I hadn't now as doctors never take you seriously have the time when they know there is a claim in. I can understand it as they have so many time wasters trying to make a quick buck. Its also just another thing hanging over my head so I can't move on with my life as its hanging over me. Its going to drag out for years to come by the looks of things and I don't really need any reminders as I'm trying to move forward with my life now.
