Do!! She sent sample of the orginal veiling but then sourced a better colour and put the crystals on herself, for a better effect. She saw my dress suggested the right length to show off the detailing the best. Emailled me at each stage and sent with a tracking number, service was amazing at an amazing price

I think she's fab!!! I have asked many questions and she's answered them all honestly.

I have asked her to make my Mums outfit because she cannot find anything just right, she wants the top like this and skirt like that etc. lol (I wonder who I take after :rotfl: )

Not sure if I should be so pleased about this but I can't help it! We were having OH's uncle do our photos (not a pro) but he has been to see the stately home where the ceremoney will be and decided its far too technical so has pulled out!!

Anyways, I was getting cold feet about him doing it but didn't want to offend him as OH's sister did that last year to him, so am quite pleased to be honest :rolleyes: I have a colleague at work who is semi-pro so now I get to use him :jAND OH's mum and step-dad have very kindly offered to pay for it as our wedding present!! Happy days!

I dragged OH to our venue today (before that he hasn't seen it :eek:) He loves it Phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :rotfl:

We were unsucessful on finding a suit he likes :rolleyes: He wants brown but it's very hard to find a nice one.

We tried to find a shop called Groom Hire but we couldn't find it :mad:

I'm going to have to find a phone number for it so I can find out exactly where it is

I felt sorry for the gut off ebay who was meeting me with the dress, he was stuck outside in the middle of it. The police wouldn't let him through even though he said he was meeting someone from Manchester, in the end he got a police escort :rotfl:and the sniffer dogs had to sniff the bag with my dress in :rotfl:

any other october brides on a diet? i started this week, and i have to say, have just weighed myself and am gutted to find that i lost nothing. i dont understand, im weighing myself at the same time etc, and its been a week, i cut out chocolate and crisps and have been having soups etc for lunch, increased my fruit and veg, and whilst not doing a specific diet i have been keeping a check on calories and fat and know that i am eating enough below to expect weight loss, have also been more active this week, and using the wii fit (whilst this isnt exactly strenuous exercise i did just burn 220 calories in 50 mins so it does help) so why didnt i loose? anyone else found this? i thought the first week of a diet should always be the easiest to loose weight?

i am on a break from my diet this month i am just maintaining which has been good. I started at the end of august and within 6 weeks i had lost 18lb. I changed bread for cracker/crisp bread. I have soup most days for my lunch and cut out all the rubbish like choc and crisps. I was allowing myself 1 proper treat a week and was doing great but the whole of october was a busy month for parties and stuff so i made a deal with myself that i could have a diet break as long as i did not put on weight!

I did put on 2lb but have since lost it with another 1lb and starting the diet again tomorrow!
I not only weigh myself but take measurements as i found at times i showed no weight loss but on measuring had lost some inches.
other factors to look at are time of the month if your due on you usually weigh about 2lb minimum heavier due to fluid retention. Dont give up and feel disheartened you will manage it. .x.x.x.x
