    Right, here is the first draft.

    10.00 Nana hair
    10.15 Mum hair
    11.00 Mum make up
    11.15 Sister hair
    12.00 Sister make up
    12.00 Me hair
    1.00 Me make up

    My nana's hair normally takes her 15 mins and she isn't expecting to need it all doing. We all have an hour for make up and hair, my sister has 45 mins but I have left plenty of time after me in case things over run. We need to remember to eat somewhere in this but does this look ok?

    is it wrong that i was amused by a lack of excitement from someone called marywooyeah!!!?

    haha yeah its ironic! sammy i would feel more excited if I wasn't so huge. I have been on a new pill and I think that is affecting my weight loss and I havent loss anywhere near what I wanted to as I am at uni and spend hours and hours sitting down in lectures/seminars/preparing for seminars/revising. have started going running but its hard cos I'm so big I end up running a bit then walking quite fast then running. have my last exam next week so am looking to see if I can get seen quickly for lipo or a gastric band before the wedding which will hopefully help me look ok for the pictures.

    so far we have:
    wedding ring for me (still to get OH's)
    dress and shoes
    b/m dresses and shoes
    venue
    church
    invites done and everyone rsvp'ed
    cake
    catering
    suits
    band for reception
    favours
    photographer

    total = £3915

    dont worry becky, im a little worried about my dress doing up too... but its a lace up so will hopefully be a bit forgiving, my problem is i really want OH to help me play with the dress but hes the one person who cant! :(
    i get married in 27 days and i have yet to have the full outfit on. *sigh*

    our first banns were read today, it was lovely to hear, sent a few bubbles of excitement through me

    We have just double checked and decided on our choices of music for the ceremony. I have been really stressed by it as we have had ideas for everything apart from what I come in to. Thought I had it sorted until yesterday when I changed my mind, after hours of listening to different things I have come back to my original choice. You would think the music thing would have been easy...us both being musicians :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just double checking the order of service so we can show the vicar tomorrow. Also going to print a dummy copy off for OH to pop into the local printers to see how much it will cost for them to do it. They are very reasonable normally as we use them for work and we are hoping they might do us a deal. It may sound excessive but our printer is a little annoying at times and it may cheaper than buying a new one. We are also spending far less than we expected so we don't mind paying a little.

    After tomorrow I can delete a lot of stuff from the list :D
