hi all, whooo hoooo im getting married

morning ladies, can i please join you?

well me and h2b have decided to get married nxt summer.
we dont want a big wedding (money wont let us). we are getting hitched at the registry office and having a massive party at our football stadium in a private suite over-looking the pitch. unbelievably they are only charging us £150 for the suite hire until 11pm (an extra £30 for 1am licence) bargain, and it holds 300 people.

ive already tried on a few dresses to find the type that suit me. and the style i wanted looks awful on me. BUT,,, i found an absolutly gorgeous jasmine dress, tried it on and i honestly felt a million dollars. i thought people were silly saying that you just know its your dress when you try it on, but i got that feeling.

the dress is a real swavorski crystal boned corset with a full, puffy skirt and bubble train. the material on the skirt is `bunched` up with crystals in the centre. i had to have it. it was £1800:eek:,,,, but in the sale for £400:D
i started ringing around everyone to lend me a deposit but everyone is skint (hadnt saved anything yet, just wanted to see which shape suited me).

so now im dress-less. took some photos on showed h2b and he cried, he was flapping and yelping saying ``thats the dress`` ``we need to get you the dress``. but im not having it now he seen it, will prob be sold now.

im having 2 adult bridesmaids and 2 flower girls, got their dresses sorted already, cream and gold and absolutly stunning.

eeekkk,, look at me babbeling on,,,,,,,,,, what on earth does planning weddings do to us??? haha
