Phyzelda - We're getting married on the same day :-)
Don't worry that you haven't found your dress yet. Keep looking. When you've found it, you'll know. Let the shop assistants help choose a dress for you... That's what happened with me, the assistant saw what sort of thing I liked so picked out a dress (which i hated on the hanger!) i tried it on, walked out the changing room and my Mum was crying - that was it, deposit paid! x

Still need to get OH's suit... absolute nightmare cos he avoids shopping at all costs and has left it up to me. I'm going to have to drag him out the house by the ears!

Went to meet my new wedding co-ordinator at a group champagne evening last week. Seemed a waste of time to me as no couples were talking to each other, and the co-ordinator to chatted to us for all of 2 mins, but hey ho, at least I know who is going to be our new co-ordinator I guess!
The personalised favours turned up yesterday that I ordered off ebay, they are better than expected. Will have to keep them out of sight so that no one eats them!
I ordered presents for usher and best man from ebay last week-personalised pint glasses with date of wedding on and thanking for helping with the day
I've also invited a few more people to the day and evening doo due to a few people not being able to make it.
Hope everyone else is doing ok?

In the last two weeks I have:

Brought our wedding rings
booked the DJ
booked the coach
narrowed my bridesmaid dresses to three styles, just gotta take MOH to try them on so I can decide before ordering
Invites are cut, just gotta cut backing card and get sticking
Guest list has been finalised, and family members told to butt out as it is as it is and we're not changing it for anyone!!

Off work sick at the moment with a Kidney infection so had a nosey through eBay for wedding favor ideas - still no further
Struggling to find a photographer

Think that's it for my update
