    Congrats to all those who got married at the weekend. Your pics are all lovely, brought a tear to my eye, goodness knows what I will be like on saturday, if I'm like this now looking at other peoples weddings! lol!

    Almost there!

    After tomorrow night I can start to feel excited.

    Its my youngest birthday party tomorrow, I have been quite worried about making the cake, which to my relief I finished tonight!

    I still have some cupcakes to make for the teachers presents for Thursday!

    Wednesday - finish work at 12.30, getting my hair dyed and highlighted, going to watch ds1 in a school concert.
    Thursday- nails, out with the girls for a curry!
    Friday- hairdresser coming round to sort hair, packing,picking kids up from school and then heading off to hotel, going out with friends to frankie and benny's for tea.
    Saturday- getting married at 10.30am woo hoo
    Its been a long time coming (15 years to be precise!)

    Ps rings kind of sorted- mine will take 3 weeks to come back, so I have a cheap replacement in the mean time, oh got a ring too! phew!

    Oh, soooo many lovely photos from your weddings :j:j

    Only 4 sleeps left now til ours.

    Nerves have *well* and truly set in! Am on kalms tablets not that they seem to be doing much!!

    Few last minute niggles and faulty items when I tested things out at the weekend, so thats a bit annoying that I have to get replacements at this stage - but better now than having left it too late I suppoe...

    Only today and tomorrow left at work - and then the real hard work begins!

    Tues - Meeting with ceremony venue, eyelash tint, visiting friend with a new baby.
    Weds - Sort out present for teacher & card etc. My little girls reception teacher has been amazing this year and I really don't want to let it pass by saying thank you just cos we're busy with wedding things. We've already started work on her card & present
    Thurs - make lots and lots and lots of cupcakes! Pick chair covers up. Take bridesmaid our for her tea as she is helping with cupcakes and also its her birthday, lol!
    Fri - Finish cupcakes if not already done. Set out the room how we want with the tables. Put chair covers on and bows on. Sort balloon pillars out. Nail appt. All family will be round at my mums so I want all the jobs doing before teatime so I can relax in the evening, and have an early night.
    Sat - Sort balloons to go on tables out. Transport cupcakes etc to venue. Set out centrepieces etc. Hair 1pm, wedding 4pm.

    Oh gosh - my belly is whizzing again! I really don't want nerves to spoil anything. :o Any tips from anyone???
    :love: Married my lobster in July 2011 :love:

    TTC # 2 since Oct 2011 - good things come to those who wait :o

    :dance: 2013 is going to be our lucky year :dance:

    Im now a married lady! And have just returned from my honeymoon. We had a wonderful day, Im going to read back now and see how everyone else is doing!
    Good Luck to all those whose weddings are still to come, best advice is to enjoy the day, I know I was nervous before but once I got to the church and saw my hubby I was so relaxed and just enjoyed everything. We picked up our photos and they are lovely! It is a bit of a downer after such a busy and exciting time... on to the next project doing up the house....

    We got married on Saturday and it was such a fabulous day. Only problem is the day's over now so got the blues a little...we're not having a honeymoon yet as we get the keys to our new house at the end of July so have hired a skip to clear out our current house lol....how romantic eh?

    Just wondering what the best bits of your weddings were. Mine is that we had paid for a dove release at the church and the lady that did it rang me on the morning of the wedding to say that because of the weather we wouldn't be able to do it (which we totally understood). However, upon arrival at the hotel where the reception was held, the doves were there ready to be released as a surprise (due to the change in the weather) and it really made our day.

    I'm just gutted the day is over and want to do it all over again lol
