    Hey guys,

    Had my weding dress fitting on Friday! It was 6 inches too big! When they done it up it fell off me!

    Now they are altering it to be 1 inch smaller around waist than i am now! So need to do some more sit ups!

    But some not so good news is that my hairdresser cancelled on me! So now need to find a replacement - fast!

  • Anyone got any ideas on hoops? The dress shop I went to was going to sell me one for £85 :eek:. I'm sure I can get one for cheaper elsewhere, but i just need to know which one I need!

    screamer are you in england or wales? if so have a look at your area for licensed venues, there maybe a restaurant near you that can marry you in your budget

    Thanks Bubbles. I'd already worked through most of that list but there is one that jumps out at me. Going to ask OH if we can go to see it. Will let you all know what happens :-)
    Yaaay, I finally conned a man into making a honest woman of me. Even more shocking is that I can put the words "Happily" and "Married" into the same sentence and not have life insurance on my mind when I say it ;-)

    Ah, that's the bit I forgot to tell you. We're not getting married for 2 years now. Realistically, OH says we can't afford next year so we've gone for the year after. So when every other bride has gone, you're stuck with me I'm afraid lol!

    I know what you mean though, it's great to see everyone planning their things, maybe getting a little jealous in the meantime. I wish you brides all the very best, our day will come, I'm sure of it! :-)
