Received favour boxes and ribbon in the post this morning. Didn't realise how exciting a delivery of cardboard would be!

Hello and welcome *waves frantically!!!* if you think of anything I haven't done please feel free to kick my butt!!! And if there's anything you fancy chatting about I'm happy to chat as my RL friends don't seem too interested...have you got your dress already? I'm torn between styles, was originally ball gown but our venue is small and I would look ridiculous, so then a line style, but then I saw sheath style and they're utterly gorgeous but I have fat love handles and don't want to look like a lumpy pig waddling down the aisle! x

Firstly, I'm sure you won't look like a lumpy pig
Secondly, the best thing to do is go to a dress shop and try on all the different styles that take your fancy, you might be surprised as to what suits you. I thought I wanted something really slimline, but when I went to the shop I spotted a huge ball gown that I just had to try on - I bought it straightaway and didn't even bother trying any other dresses on! So stay open-minded because you just never know what you'll fall in love with!0 -
Oh I am definitely open minded! I've got an apt booked for this sat morning with a wedding warehouse so will spend the full 2 hours trying on different dresses. I hate shopping but inside my bride is screaming excitedly! x
