Another 2nd bride! Congrats on the engagement Polly, hope you have fun planning your wedding!

Welcome fellow 2nd bride2be!
I keep flitting in and out of the excitement atm. Not a lot of pennies coming in and I am getting a tad frustrated but technically still on track so trying not to stress about it although its easier said than done. Because of all the stress, I am doing really badly on the diet too and gained a fair bit but I will have the invites ready to go at the end of the month and that in itself is an achievement.
I am desperately hoping to order my dress this month or else I will have to change the one I want. not what I want to do but It may become necessary so I am doing all I can to keep a few pennies aside to order it.

Not had a proper read/catch up as I am just about to leave work but will be back tonight to have a proper catch up..x

Good news!! OH is going to 'bump' his mate as best man, his mate is just not interested (another 'love my children cos they are perfect'!!) and it was stressing OH out because he wasn't getting any feedback from him!

well, i am very happy with my kiddie bm dresses that i got from light in the box

i know they have had some really bad reviews but i ordered two separate times cos i wanted to know the first would be okay and that was ordered in CNY. both took 28 days from order to delivery. I am getting my adult bm dress from millybridal.com and will be ordering my own wedding dress from there too. If i could find what i wanted second hand i would try and get it but the original designer was charging close to £2k and with all the changes i want, i am released from copyright so i am gonna go ahead and order what i want in the style i like.

i looked at a few chinese sites and i love the dresses i see from milly, especially custom made so i am getting myself measured up this week.

My parents are sorting our favours and also h2b's / best man's suit. I have to get mine and CBM and that is all the outfits sorted unless i can stretch to a second outfit. It is an extravagance and will only be done if i have the pennies to do so.

Still gotta hire the bus, and then put invites together. sorted teh wedding website (used momentville) and i think its all looking quite good.

just want to get back on track. 173 days to go..

How's everyone feeling???

We go on holiday in a week (if the plane will take us :fingerscrossed: ) so everything is on hold until then! Then it's major saving to start paying stuff off.

im doing quite well thanks, this week have paid off ceremony venue, booked contact lens trial as desperately want them for wedding, booked dress in for alterations, found and booked a hairdresser, got final bits of makeup in the bodyshop 3-4-2 offer with quidco and discount and sorted bridesmaids jewelry, i hardly have anything left to do, its quite sad, i love all the decision making and bargain hunting!

Oh and chelbel, your bridezilla comment about punching OH in back of head if he doesnt agree had me wetting myself! i didnt think i was a bridezilla, but actually thats how i feel!

will keep fingers crossed for you for your holiday

I am helping my mil2b to book her silver anniversary party which is in December, having to find a venue asap as its xmas party season! She is only 41 this year too and married 25 years!
