Hi Girls,

How is everyone doing?? I have had an email from Landy to say my dress has been posted out!! Cant wait. I also think I may be having a honeymoon after all! Rome for 4 nights, Ive worked it into the budget and it should be fine.

Hooray, Chiefy got in touch today so all seems to be well.

Val - how lovely that you've been able to budget a honeymoon in, I'd love to go to Rome! Bet you're well excited about your dress x

I don't post very often so when I do I always have loads to add lol.

We sent our invites (finally) on Tuesday and received the first RSVP today

Went and set up our gift list last night at JL

Ordered a sample bouquet from Sarahs flowers and it arrived yesterday. It's a bit smaller than I expected but lovely all the same so I shall order all the others now.

I ordered my petticoat from Ebay on Wednesday so i'm hoping that will come soon - I have my first dress fitting the week after next :eek:

The hen night is finally organised (some people need feet on bums to get moving!) We have a hotel booked in Manchester and are going for a meal and a night in the village - Moulin Rouge styleee lol

I e mailed all my BM's measurement guides for their dresses last Friday and am still waiting for 3 of the 4 to come back to me :rolleyes: The one who was in Rome for the weekend had them back to me half an hour after she got back into the house on Sunday night! I'll chase them all today.

We still have to get the boys measured up for their suits but they've been reserved and half the money is paid. MIL to be has offered to do the cake - we've chosen the flavours and told her our theme and left her to decide the design :eek: lol.

I think we're pretty on top of things to be honest, lots of little things to do but we have 71 days lol.

I'll be so glad when it's all over. I haven't enjoyed the planning one little bit, it's all been so stressful.

One lovely thing tho - we booked and paid for our honeymoon to Mexico. Not the same hotel as we had planned, we downgraded a lot. We looked at finances and realised that a few monthly payments were coming to an end, leaving us extra money free every month so we stuck it onto a 0% credit card and damn the consequences lol. It's not very MSE, but we deserve it and now it's a much lower cost, we may cover some of it with holiday vouchers which I know all our friends are giving instead of gifts (they asked, we didn't put anything in anyones invites) Work has also picked up a little bit (it couldn't have got much worse lol)

51 days to go!

Sounds like you getting all organised seki11en! Let us know how the family situation turns out. ((hug))

I think the bridesmaids should be ok now. I had a chat to them and said how unhappy it would make me if they fell out and weren't talking to each other, so at least they'll 'pretend' to be ok even if they aren't for a while. Its actualy H who is beig the most difficult when I thought she'd be no trouble at all!

I'm starting to get panicky now....all the little things have to be decided!

Girls, I'm such poocakes - ive been rubbish posting on here. Too busy with work, wedding, stray cats lol.

Anyway, good to see everyone's plans coming along nicely. I now have all RSVPs back for day and have just sent out the evening invites. Was having trouble with work invites - couldn't really invite just some to the day - so i've just invited them all to the evening only. That way there's no favourtism lol.

Reserved men's suits and paid 50% deposit. Bought H2B's ring - a nice one with white and yellow gold and some very small diamonds I thought it might be a little too blingy for him but he chose it!!

Had my final dress fitting last week so my dress is hanging upstairs. gave in and bought the veil in the shop for £75 :eek: But it is lush!!

Paid off honeymoon today :j :j :j Was worried about how i was going to pay for it with my pay cut and all, but H2B helped out so I didnt have to put any of it on the CC :T

Spoke to the lady doing my ring as there was a bit of a drama with the diamonds, but thats all sorted.

And this weekend is my HEN DO!!!!!! :eek: 15 of us are off to adults only butlins for the weekend. Because I do like my animal print, the theme has been decided as animal print - the tackier the better. Are they trying to tell me something lol. Anyway I have this god awful dress that is very tight and very short.I've also got some huuuuuuge ghetto gold jewellery and a tight belt. I have to say my bum looks massive in it, and I'm going to look like a total tart but hey it's only for one night :rotfl: Bit worried they're going to make me wear something awful, but we'll have to see.

My friend who's doing my flowers has just told me she can't get the friday off work to do the flowers - so she will have to work right through Friday night doing the flowers at my house :eek: That'll be me helping out then and not getting any sleep before the wedding :rolleyes: Anyways, I'm not going to panic about that yet.

I think that's my wedding updates for now. I can't believe its less than 2 months to go.

Hope everyone is having fun

48 days now for me :eek:

The vicar is coming to see us on Tuesday to talk about the prayers and the vows and stuff, and we're going back to the reception hall on Wednesday to have another look, work out where the music equipment/projector etc is going and book the buffet. Then all that's left to do is to lose just under a stone in 7 weeks and we're off :rotfl:

Good luck with the weight loss Im sure you will do better than me. I need to lose 2 stone in 2 weeks (in time for my holiday) :rolleyes: lol.
To top everything off aswell as all the wedding and holiday stuff to sort out my Chief Bridesmaid is no longer speaking to me :mad: as if I didnt have enough to worry about

Dont worry Neeny! What else have you got to sort out, Make a list and we will see what we can help with if you want? I have a fair few niggly bits still to finish but my dresses arrived last week so that is the main thing.

The thing with my Chiefy BM is silly but its annoyed me.
Were all going away in 2 and a half weeks (group of us bfs aswell) and I have arranged all the flights, the villa and the cars (which I dont mind because I would rather be in charge *control freak*) and have been planning it since Nov, we all met up on Sat to sort what we were taking (i.e shampoos and stuff as decided there wasnt any point in all of us taking the same things) she then decided she didnt want to join in any of this.
I had also said that everyone should put in 50 euros each for a food and alcohol shop and whatever was left would go into a kitty and be used for few meals out etc (this was said in November) she then decided yesterday that this was too much *no one else has said anything about it being too much* so I said ok, she could sort out her own food if she would rather then went to speak to my mum for a bit and take a breather as I was rather annoyed at this point

After a while she said is everything ok coz you havent spoke to me in an hour and I said Yes it was fine and I was just catching up with my mum. next thing I know she had gone home and not said goodbye to me or anyone else.

I text to see if see had got home ok and about 5 hrs later got 'Yes, home ok'

Sorry for the big rant and I know it is silly but it has really annoyed me that she has started trying to change things now with everything else on my plate after I have already sorted things :mad::mad:

and breathe!!!!!!!!!
