May 2015 Weddings

OMG just under 6 months to go ladies!!! :eek:
That's how I felt when I realised a little bit panicked, anybody else feel the same??
I know I've got plenty of time and it's not a huge amount to finish organising, just seems really near now.
I wrote out a list from my spreadsheet and seems to have calmed me a little, but just frustrating at the moment that I can't get started on a lot of things until my RSVP's are in, which is Feb time.
Grrr why are people so slow at replying seem to have come to a standstill with only about 30% replied. :mad: I know I know they still have 2 months to reply lol they're just not as organised as me.
Will just have to take December off planning or maybe start making favours and source vases and table decorations.

Well here's my to do list of everything (I think) that is left and approx time line to do it in.

· Wedding Rings (trying to find style I like in 18ct white gold, can only find in 9ct)

· Send marriage forms to registrar (need to know music and readings)

Wow looks like a lot but def feel more relaxed now.
Just need to get my walk in music and the weddng rings sorted and think I'll feel better.

What music are other ladies having for their walk in song??

Hope all your organising is going well.

What with Christmas round the corner it'll soon be 2015 the year we get married

Hey again ladies Hope you're all ready for Christmas.
Figure I'm actually going to hit the January sales this year for some decorative bits and pieces and maybe the bridesmaids/grooms shoes!!
Exciting news is that just ordered our wedding rings at the weekend :j
Decided to go for 18ct White gold with some diamonds in a slight U shape at the front under my enagement ring.
HSamuels had 20% off their diamond rings so was too much of a bargain to miss then found a £25 off when you spend over £200 code so that worked on OH's plain titanium band and brought it down in price.
Overall savings of just over £104 :money:so very happy with that. Was supposed to wait until the new year but don't think we could have got a better deal, and new what we wanted now and had the cash in savings for it.
If anyone wants the H Samuel code just do a g.oogl.e for it as HUKD has it up currently.

Thanks for advice on the MUA Staple28, going to have a look over the next few days have a few in mind, and there's also my hairdresser who is trained as a MUA as well, so have a back up.

Is weird to think that in 10 days I will have been engaged for a year and what a year of adventure into the world of weddings it has been.
