    Well you daft mare if you'd told me that I'd have kept it till after ya wedding instead of flogging it on fleabay!!!
    I do like your dress to I have to say - mine had the option of white on white or pewter on white - I chose white on white as you can see but it was close!! Then we'd nearly have been wedding twins!
    The pics were taken by Brenny from here :) She's a doll and as you can see has a pretty good eye for pics :)

    If it makes you feel any better I had to abstain from booze, chocolate and frankly all the food I LIKE to fit in the damned thing and my boobs were still bit too big but nothing much that could be done about it grrrr
    M&S tummy control pants definitely helped smooth lumps and bumps tho even if the dress WAS wired to high heaven!

    Tine, your photos are lovely - I've come across Brenny on the Aspergers support thread on the families board, wow, she's a great photographer! You look really pretty and your wedding day looked such fun.

    Still chuckling at 'Coleen at a shoe sale' :rotfl: She's one of the more bearable wags but £5million???? I don't even know how I would begin to spend that much!

    I thought they were done by a professional outfit!! They are cracking!!!

    I'm going with ivory, simply because with 2 kiddies white is asking for trouble/jam/chocolate/snot.

    Control pants - good idea, might not be sexy, but by god they do the job! I have a pouch that needs hoiking, and I have an unsettling feeling that no amount of Bob the Builder-fuelled treadmill pounding is going to shift until Ash no longer requires the Mummy Milk Bar.

    As for the cake, too late anyway, as despite pointing out a gorgeous curvy cakestand to MIL, she went ahead and ordered square ones anyway. Just like everything else to do with the bl**dy thing. Grrrr.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    I'd spend £4.75 million getting the MIL removed, and the rest on a damn good party.

    LOL! I've just shut Natasha's milky bar and am waiting patiently for everything to suddenly ping back into place.........

    Tine you look lovely too.

    I reckon in honour of Obi's wedding day we should all try to [STRIKE]cram[/STRIKE] fit ourselves into our wedding dresses and sit online drinking her health.

    Wake up one morning, look down and suddenly you're more Kate Moss than Jordan. But at least you're no longer swimming in a pool of milk.
