Too right - 9 weeks for us August 8 ladies now, down to single figures :eek:

What's your date Violetta, I can't find you on the first page?

Have you tried contacting your local council regarding the cream taxi? I think it would have to be registered with them and they might be able to get the driver to get in touch with you

We are the 21st don't think I've said the date before. 11 weeks yesterday!! Will try ringing round the taxi companies 1st then will try the council, thanks for the suggestion.

I picked up some diy favour boxes in tesco they are white with silver ribbon £1.50 for 10 which is half price, I'm not going to use them for favours but balloon weights so will have to get some stones or something to put in & weigh them down, wonder how heavy they need to be?

Not sure how heavy they'll need to be Violetta perhaps you could buy a baloon to test it? Sorry to hear about you missing your cream taxi too - you'll catch it eventually.

Went to try on my wedding ring which arrived yesterday its pretty Am leaving it at the jewellers for safe keeping

60 days to go!

Oh has finally chosen three readings that he likes!

could you give me your opinions please?

What is love?
Love is just not looking at each other and saying "You're wonderful".
There are times when we are anything but wonderful.
Love is looking out in the same direction.
It is linking our strength to pull a common load.
It is pushing together towards the far horizons, hand in hand.
Love is knowing that when our strength falters, we can borrow the strength of someone who cares.
Love is a strange awareness that our sorrows will be shared and made lighter by sharing;
that joys will be enriched and multiplied by the joy of another.
Love is knowing someone else cares that we are not alone in life.


=============================================

Yes, I'll marry you, my dear,
And here's the reason why;
So I can push you out of bed
When the baby starts to cry,
And if we hear a knocking
And it's creepy and it's late,
I hand you the torch you see,
And you investigate.
Yes I'll marry you, my dear,
You may not apprehend it,
But when the tumble-drier goes
It's you that has to mend it,
You have to face the neighbour
Should our labrador attack him,
And if a drunkard fondles me
It's you that has to whack him.
Yes, I'll marry you,
You're virile and you're lean,
My house is like a pigsty
You can help to keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner
Which you served by candlelight,
As I do chipolatas,
You can cook it every night!
It's you who has to work the drill
and put up curtain track,
And when I've got PMT it's you who gets the flak,
I do see great advantages,
But none of them for you,
And so before you see the light,
I do, I do, I do!

=============================================

He never leaves the seat up
Or wet towels upon the floor
The toothpaste has the lid on
And he always shuts the door!
She’s very clean and tidy
Though she may sometimes delude
Leave your things out at your peril
In a second they’ll have moved!
He’s a very active person
As are all his next of kin
Where as she likes lazy days
He’ll still drag her to the gym!
He romances her and dines her
Home cooked dinners and the like
He even knows her favourite food
And spoils her day and night!
She’s thoughtful when he looks at her
A smile upon his face
Will he look that good in 50 years
When his dentures aren’t in place?!
He says he loves her figure
And her mental prowess too
But when gravity takes her over
Will she charm with her IQ?
She says she loves his kindness
And his patience is a must
And of course she thinks he’s handsome
Which in her eyes is a plus!
They’re both not wholly perfect
But who are we to judge
He can be pig headed
Where as she won’t even budge!
All that said and done
They love the time they spent together
And I hope as I’m sure you do
That this fine day will last forever.
He’ll be more than just her husband
He’ll also be her friend
And she’ll be more than just his wife
She’s be his soul mate ‘till the end.

Sorry its a long post just for the readings but I know if you guys like them so will my guests!

Love them!! Especially the middle one

Are you having different people read them?

SmlSave

i'm so glad you like them Stephk!

Definitely will have different people reading them - not sure who though, could be difficult choosing them...

I was lucky as for both of my readings, the best mans girlfriend asked me if she could do one (very happy for her to do as she is a very close friend but I was not able to ask her to be bridesmaid) and for the other, one of my bridesmaids asked if she could do one. So it worked out perfectly. I have 4 bridesmaids and they are the close friends I have known longest, if I had not had them I would never have been forgiven so I thought that length of time knowing them was a good selection tool. Otherwise I would have loved to have our best man's gf but thought 5 was a lot of bridesmaids to pay for and a bit excessive for me. So she is doing a reading and sitting on the toptable to show she is important to us. (selection tool sounds awful but I cant think of a better phrase right now)

Maybe you would like to ask if any of your bridesmaids/ushers would like to do a reading? or if you know anyone that likes doing that kind of thing, approach them? I am sure they woudl be honoured.
