June 2010 brides and grooms list

svjenni

hows everybody doing?

I haven't done much but my dresses ariving have made everything very real. I'm also coming up to 150 days to go on my yayw ticker. I'm starting to think i need to start getting a move on but keep finding other things to do instead.
I've been thinking a lot about my wardrobe lately and have cleared about 6 bin bags of stuff that doesn't fit me anymore. I want to put it all on ebay for sale and hope to spend the cash on some clothes for the honeymoon.

I really really need to loose wait but I just cannot get my head around it - obviously I don't want it enough yet, and really because i only want to get rid of a bit of belly perhaps i'm not rady to get in gear yet.

I've just started to think about the wedding again after the faff of Christmas - and I'm sitting here shaking!

I've got halfway with my homemade invitations, but have a list as long as my arm about everything else and don't know where to start. Haven't even been dress shopping yet as my diet isn't going as well as planned and the snow means we haven't really been able to get out

I also didn't think I'd be out of work this long so have no money to book honeymoon etc, can't get hold of the firework company and they still haven't confirmed the booking and my fiance works 300 miles away 5 days a week so can't run anything by him.

svjenni

oh no skint_catt that doesn't sound good at all - I know what you are saying about the weight loss i'm exactly the same, but I just bit the bullet and got the dress as if I lose I can get it altered a little and i'm happier knowing it is safe in the house.

How is you fiance being away going to work afer the wedding or will things continue that way? i'm due to go away next week for work and it will be the longest i've been away from my oh since we moved in together 2 years ago, I don't know how you do it

svjenni

wow buzby you must be really organised - I feel like I still have loads to do, I have just written the inserts for my cards and still have the infosheet, gift list and rsvps to complete them

I think I am going mad, my posts keep disappearing.
We have decided most stuff, just got to book it now.
Although this all depends on work, I have got the wedding day off as a rota day but may not get any time off after this - oh dear. H2B maybe honeymooning alone. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

svjenni

omg hayley what are you going to do!!!!

The first thing I did after my proposal was book a month off work for the wedding - it was 15 months before so they couldn't say no!!

well today is operation loose weight (tomorrow lol) OH and I have joined a new fancier gym - not very mse not canclling the old one first but it was an offer on here and they'll only overlap for this month. we have also started ww again - our subsriptions were running anyway so we may as well use them

I'm determined to not get obsessed - i have my dress and fit in it fine- i want to tone my arms a little and make my size 16 trousers loose - thats it

Hello Junes how are we all.

Think i'm on the ball now:

Left to do:

Cake
Favours
Visit Manor Park to discuss
Visit registrar to discuss readings
Pick a reading for my sister
Meet with photographer (but she's due to give birth this week)
Do a gift list
Underwear
Order 5 bridesmaid dresses*
Book makeup/nails

*I have ordered my BM dresses from China £54 each, ordered one to see the quality/fit and will then order the other 5 if all is ok.

Ordered my wedding dress from a local shop as I want to have somewhere to go if something is wrong, and the woman there measured me and said its best to order a size bigger? Hmmmm not sure if this is normal, im hoping to lose weight not put it on....

Welcome to the Junnies!

Im sending mine out in stages because we have lots to send out and have made a priority list of guests who will get theres first. If any decline attending we have a "B" list lol of people who we would invite. We are limiting numbers due to budget and also venue - DF wants to invite about 220 but venue holds 175 lol!
