20 weeks today! 139 days. 4 months 2 weeks and 4 days!!

18 weeks today :j

I am making huge efforts to do non-wedding related stuff with OH so it doesn't all stop when the wedding is over. Cooked a nice meal which we had by candlelight last night, going out for a picnic tomorrow and 2 weekends time we are going here http://www.tigh-na-sgiath.co.uk/ for OHs birthday. I have booked it as a surprise and it seems amazing. Just doing these simple things has reminded me of how much I love him. Sorry if it sounds soppy, although this is probably the thread I can say this on without being shot down!

sammy I saw that thread, have you tried the dress on yet?
We were in Debenhams today and I was by all the posh dresses, said I wished I had waited for BM dresses (even though there was nothing I liked there). Also thought about another style of wedding dress I would like which then made me wish we were getting married abroad or could go back to our intimate wedding idea. I think I am worrying about the dress because I can't find it online so can't properly remember what it looks like, I am really worried I will hate it when I see it again.

You are not the only one with these worries, I am hoping that putting down on here will help keep me sane so post away x

Eek! 18 weeks today! I have a LOT to do, a LOT of exercise to get rid of these flipping bingo wings and the countdown on this thread is giving me a huge kick up the backside! I cannot wait for my dress to arrive at the store but it's still probably not getting here til May so I'll have to hope against hope that it fits! I also have that fear about not liking it, but have stopped looking in magazines at dresses and am skim reading to look at cakes etc instead!

I just wanted to say thanks to all you lovely July 2011 folk, you've been hugely supportive and it's nice to know there's a place to come when I'm having a wobble too! x

21 weeks today :j

Have done nothing whatsoever for it today (except run so I can still get in my dress!)

Actually, we did talk about people to do the readings for us and witnesses. That's it.

Maybe tomorrow will be more productive!!!

Checkin in.

Invites have been sent

Paid bridesmaid dress deposit - really impressed with the bridal shop, price and the fact alterations are only £5-£10

Met with the florist - he was amazing and gave me an outsiders view of my ideas - gone are the pink sashes, waistcoats and birdcage centre pieces lol! I just hope his price is as good as his confidence and persuasion.

Ive bought my underwear also in the Debenhams 20% off sale, one thing im a little unsure about is the suspender belt - do you where this over or under your knickers? Imagining very embarassing trips to the loo with my c.bridesmaid!

Still not sure what to do with BM hair yet.

Hi!

I'm getting married to my girlfriend on 28th July (Thursday - "MSE Style" )

We haven't sent our invitations out yet...but we have done 'Save the Dates'

When is the 'right time' to send out invitations?

Traditionally 3 mths but i have lots of family members asking my mum when it is or are they and so and so invited? So thought it would be best to get them out of the way - plus its a busy time of year for hotels etc.

im sending mine as soon as they are ready- hopefully next weekend
as its summer and summer hols (just started a few days before) then its best to get them out

Got my shoes today, probably gone against all protocol and superstition as OH came and chose them with me, we had a really fun time. He had a wobble today which is reassuring. Just got to ring wedding dress shop tomorrow to check the heel height is ok, I got these http://www.johnlewis.com/81812/Style.aspx I can take them back if it is too high.

AJmoney, wonder if you can help me with something, I have literally tried for months to find shoes I like in a size 9, many of those I've had sent out have said they're a 9 but are a 42 which is a british 8, I definately need a 43 (9). I have seen Rainbow Club ones in JL in a 9, but before I order yet another pair, are the ones you've bought the size you'd normally go for, and do you know if the euro size is a match to your british size? Not to worry if you don't know, I'll probably end up ordering em anyway, and probably end up sending another pair back!
