    That is sooo sweet. Ahhhhh

    Just a quick question....

    Do you think I'm crazy wanting my welcome drinks to be purple? I figure some food colouring could be popped in with the wine and then poured into glasses. Do you reckon the venue would be happy doing this?


    Oooo, I was thinking of doing this! Will you feed back if you find a solution? I may try the blackberry idea. :D

    I'm a bit of a fan of purple myself (ok obsessed), might the venue be able to serve a cocktail of somesort based on purple grape juice? I'll see if I can come up with some ideas?
    Booo!!!

    The idea of turning peoples tongues purple appeals to my sense of humour :D Could make a good/funny photo

    I'll get some colouring and try it out on myself. I'll let you know what happens.

    I really like those hisbiscus flowers you can get from Lakeland to put in drinks too.

    Neeny: I could easily become a wedding bore but then I'm loving planning it (apart from when it goes wrong)

    Does anyone else find that the time is going a lot quicker now?? It seems to be flying by now!!!!!

    I am finally at one with my hair extensions lol. They've been driving me crazy all week and today i went to see my usual hairdresser who shaped them and thinned them out a bit. Now I love them!!!! But I still don't know if I want them up or down on the day :confused: My hair looks great with my tiara - i wish i had a veil to see what it looks like lol. Im def going to order my veil this weekend. I saw a great one on Ebay but cant remember the name of the shop :mad:

    Hope you all have a fab weekend. Im hoping to get out in the jungle thats called my garden to try and spruce it up a bit :eek:

    Why don't you put 'Cassis' into the sparkling wine / champagne to make a very posh Kir Royale cocktail? The food colouring would definately make your guests mouths look like Veruca Salt from Willy Wonkas chocolate factory!!

    Ok so the weather is really crappy today so no gardening for me :rotfl:

    Good news is that I have finally bought my veil. A two tier ivory elbow length scattered with AB swarovskis. A bargain at £25 :j

    I cannot wait for my first dress fitting - 2 weeks to go :)

    My tiara arrived and its so STUNNING was really tempting to show H2B but he's already seen the shoes so I mustnt show anything else.........

    And Kir Royale is lovely, Creme de Cassis isnt too expensive either, what a great idea :)

    Right ladies, I have to ask this! Is anyone getting a little bored of all the wedding talk??? I don't mean getting bored of your own wedding plans as such I just mean that since the new year I feel like the first thing anyone asks me is "how are the wedding plans?" and I am in danger of becoming a wedding bore!!! It's like last year I went to 5 different weddings and the first thing anyone said to me was "it'll be you next!" - YES I KNOW! I'M UP TO MY BLOOMING ELBOWS IN PLANNING THE THING! Please god tell me that some of you are feeling the same or am i doomed!!!

    p.s - I do love my OH very much and am very excited about the wedding itself but the planning is driving me loony!

    Quick a brew and fag needed asap!

    See, I knew some more of you were out there when I had a whinge last week :rotfl:
    Oh the relief ;)
