it was amazing! i highly recommend the adult only big weekenders...
our group had a fantastic time and we are all already planning going back for the 80's or 90's weekend next year for a "haggiversary"

was so weird being at a butlins camp without a child in sight *bliss*

38 days.... omg! THIRTY EIGHT DAYS!!!!!!!

went to the wholesale florists today and ordered the flowers for my bouquet, which we will be hand tying ourselves,
we are having white peonies, so we also bought a bunch to test what happens to them when we store them overnight, we have a few in the garage, a few in the fridge and the rest in the front room to see how much they open... as i want them to look like fat scoops of ice cream... like this

45 days for me

We sat and muddled through the order of service last night, only a few more bits to add. Went through my "things left to do" list last night and put in dates for the meetings etc so it all runs in the right order now (I love being allowed to embrace my list OCD at the mo) and the list seems scarily short. 2 weeks today and the list will have about 6 things left on it and most of that is stuff to pick up or be delivered in the last week! I/We now have appointmnets sorted for the florist, my dress fitting, a hair trial, a meeting with the band, a make up trial and I have suggested dates for the vicar and photographer which we are waiting for replies for.

We have an appointment with the photographer tonight. I have no idea what will happen at it but we haven't met him yet so we thought we should. I know we should have gone along to see him before we booked but to be honest I didn't think about it until after. Hopefully we will get on ok with him.

I am posting my things to do list here, if it looks like I have missed something then let me know.

Oooo, dress fitting tomorrow. Am a bit nervous I must say! Have lost 2lbs shy of 2stone now, so fingers crossed it will fit. Only 8 weeks on saturday, so its getting close now if it doesn't do up still - eeekk!! :eek:

Think most things are coming together now.

Got the centrepieces all sorted. Got a hair trial booked in for 28th June. Got the form mostly filled out for the civil ceremony, just need to pin OH down to definately finalise the music choices before sending it in. Cupcake flavours have been decided, I just need to practice a couple of them as they will be new flavours to me. Got the things ordered now so I can start on the sugar flowers for the cake. Got everything saved in ebay now I think that I have left to buy - balloons, cupcake stand etc.

Hen do is finally all sorted. Took ages and ages to get definate yes/no's from people, but am now starting to actually look forward to it now I have the numbers. Was getting soooooo frustrating chasing people for their answers! :mad: Only 5 weeks on fri til my hen tho

Still need to:

Wear in my shoes a little!! Keep saying this and they are still in their nice box untouched, lol!

Actually, not really got all that much to do at the moment. Just pretty things and stuff, but theres no rush on anything. Like, I bought a wishing well for people to post their cards into, and I am going to decorate it in our colours etc. And I theres a few other little touches that I'm gonna do hopefully, but I'll just potter with them. The only thing that has stressed me out so far has been the hen do, the actual wedding stuff has all been really fun to do. Think I am defo gonna miss the preparation side after its all over
