    Urgh I really don't want to do this now, its far, far too complicated for something that is supposed to be a happy event.

    Well I chose him online so I think so! But he's like an antique (internally at least), and like all good antiques he appreciates with age as he gets rarer.

    Oh how much love in that sentence along.

    Hopefully the postman has got the disc to your house without a) loosing it, b) stealing it or c) it being eaten by the cat.

    OH had the same feeling half way through the planning. One tip is don't let it take over everything. Try and set aside a day a week where you don't do anything for the wedding or look at anything. Will save your sanity.

    In our case, OHs feeling happened when we were waiting for the home office to provide approval. It was a tense 3 weeks there.

    From experience main thing is for you to go dress looking at the moment. Obviously you will want your church and your on about a low key reception so that is not too bad.

    The cats fine, but if it was wrapped in paper of cardboard there is a strong chance the bunny has made its aquaintence.

    It was in an brown envelope about the same size as a bank statement envelope (as long as you don't get A4 size bank statement envelopes from the bank)

    I've found a dress I love, ie it's a copy of a very, very famous one made by a company in China. But without being able to try it on I'm nervous. That and I don't want everyone looking and thinking 'I've seen that dress before, celeb copycat!'

    Just reminded me of something. OHs mum text me this morning to tell me to get home quick as the cat was 'attacking' her.
    When i got back the cat was sat on her lap stealing ham off her plate :rotfl: his mum has always been nervous of cats but said she would be ok with the cat in house, i think cats can sense when people are scared :rotfl:

    Well bunny tends to stick to paper, cardboard and plastic, so hopefully he'll leave whatever a CD is made of alone!
