had a great day with my mum and my sister (who's bridesmaid) went to a spa and my mum had her first ever massage which she really enjoyed and i had a 2 hour session that included a salt scrub for starters, a shower, got covered in clay and wrapped in what looked like turkey foil :rotfl:, then another shower and then a full body massage it was bliss!

only 5 more sleeps for me till i'm a mrs can't believe it's so close now!

WOW sounds like a perfect day! Hopefully thats the start of things to come for the next few days leading upto your big day. You all sorted?

finished work yesterday, although didn't get out the door till 7 sneakly printed off my order of services on the printer before i escaped.

would be a hell of a lot happier if i wasn't so completely under the weather with laryngitis, summer sniffles and a chest infection. thank the lord for lots of drugs though, although the antibiotics are making me cough more but i know it will have to get worse before it gets better

i'm getting married on the 2nd may i knew i'd seen someone with the 1st of May as well so i'm number two on the list then

as for the money going out i know the feeling we're paying lots of stuff at the moment but we've got a good bit to have to hand over on the day too!

just sitting doing the final changes to the seating plans (had a few last minute cancellations due to illness) and doing out the table plan to be displayed and also the cards for the tables.

got all my felt / foam photobooth props (beards, lips, glasses etc) sorted when i was home for a day or so. had my final fitting so the dress fits and it's still as lovely as i remember! spoke to the photographer confirming everything. picking up the in-laws this evening and heading down home tomorrow when all the fun begins!!

have to head out and pick up thank you pressies as well! fun and joy but i'll get there i know i will.

good luck to everyone i don't think i'll be on here for a bit unless i drop in from California when i'm on honeymoon. thanks for all your help and advice and hope everyone that's later on in the month gets the fab weather they deserve

Hi all, not been on for a while but I now have 6 sleeps till the big day!!! I am sooooo grateful for all the bank holidays, they've stopped me being a big stressed, rushed mess!!! It's a very DIY affair as much as I could manage and I still have a few bits to do!! Last week I put the cake together for the first time. I have made evry single sugar flower myself and I think there are over 500!!!!! It looks STUNNING though, I'm so happy with it and after b=thinking I was mad to take it on, I'm now so glad I did! We have the suits and dresses at home but I still have the following to do before the big day:

1. make the seating plan, table names and place cards (for top table only, the others are designated a table but can sit where they like on it!!)
2. Make a wedding post box
3. wrap all of the presents for the BMs etc.
4. print the inserts for the order of serivces and stick them into the handmade car outers.
5. deliver the favours (handmade whilst watching the royal wedding!), seating plan etc to the venue.
6. Church flowers....MIl and her friends are doing these but I'll help where I can.
7. Take the cake to the venue and set it up
8. Manicure, pedicure, eyebrow shape

Oh and I still have 1 day at work too!!

Good luck to the rest of you x

That's exactly what I said this morning!

Have finally got around to organising the honeymoon this morning. We've booked the first six nights accommodation. Two in York, one in Ashington, two in Edinburgh and a night at Tan Hill. Still have to find a B&B in Kendal, then maybe Bristol for the last couple as have family we can stay with.

Tried on my whole outfit on Friday morning. I was a bit worried about the dress fitting as I have a massive lump in my breast, have hospital appointment on Tuesday morning and it is so swollen wasn't sure the zip would go up. Trying not to worry too much about it and focusing on wedding plans instead.

Hen night tonight, a curry with the girls then on to a pub to see a band. I know Sunday night's a strange time, but I work Friday & Saturday nights and didn't want to lose a nights wages.

Good luck to all the May brides! Just popping on from the April thread as we're all done now!
Hope you all have the very happiest wedding days and good luck with all the preparations! x
