    Well... I thought I was being smart and slightly different from tradition by proposing to my other half (all be it on the 29th February) and having my best friend who is male as my brides attendant :D...
    I've just had it back fire on me one of my male friends (who I've known for the best part of 11 years) thought that it was such a good idea that he's asked me to be his best man lol.
    Now I have to plan a stag do something which I've never been to and neither has my partner and write a speech (UGH!! don't do public speaking), get up to Birmingham for a suit fitting and I'm very overwelled. Uni starts in a week and I have to get myself all set and sorted for that and a mother-in-law to be to care for as well as (eventually) my own wedding to plan and thinking of starting a family....
    Sorry this wasn't meant to be a rant but it seems like ti's turned into one lol. I'm really excited about being his best man :) but I'm so overwelled with everything and I didn't know who else to talk to.
    Thanks for reading x

    When is he getting married? It might be a good idea to slow down and take things as they come rather than worry about everything all at once. It'll help put everything in perspective, and it won't look as daunting. Remember you can always ask for help too

    Suit fitting? He's making you wear a suit? Are you making him wear a dress? Haha!

    lol... the wedding is the 15th november and i was told yesterday of the date and asked sunday to be best man. lol still kills me... he's not going to be my brides attendant but he took my idea we're close but there's someone closer to me that i've chosen he's. The guy i've chosen is one of my ex's and we've stayed very close since we broke up and if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be here anymore i went through a very tough time so it was an easy choice for me. The guy who has asked me to be his best man doesn't have that many close friends even less that would do a lot for him which is why i was chosen. his w2b is lovely but is the jealous sort and will be very heavily pregnant so she is the one putting me in a suit. I'm a bit of a tomboy and have the build to get away with a suit so i'm not to worried. lol. it's just everything's come about at once. They've asked me to make the invitations which is fine cause i'm actually good at stuff like that and the mother-in-law to be is as well so i will probably get her to assist me. they've asked my h2b to be photographer so that they can keep costs down.

    OK, right that isn't much time before the wedding (assuming it's this year). Time to get out your calendar and start planning your days so you have enough time for everything.

    Aww lovely that you have been asked, you will have to prioritise if you have got a lot going on, and maybe timetable in times to do things. As for the suit i think you will look nice, i think ladies can look nice in suits. x x

    For anyone who is wondering why I'm a touch stressed I'll explain, me and my h2b live 1hour drive away from the MIL2B and we both work unsocialable hours (bar work), 3 weeks ago we got a phone call from the local police to say she has collapsed and been rushed into hospital.. both of us rushed up to her and stayed with her while she was in hospital, she has a big dog so needs a lot of care. Turns out that she's not been looking after herself for months. The house was dirty and cluttered there was stuff everywhere. While she was in hospital we spent 5 days cleaning 13 bags of rubbish later it was a better state and she came home. She asked us to move in with her to care for the dog and her we agreed this was a week and a half ago. 2 days later my father is in a horrible car accident, he's fine but it's kinda thrown me into a spin... along with that and starting uni and now everything else...... lol I don't know what I'm doing anymore... :(
