    I get all runny in my tummy when I think about the fact my wedding is 6 weeks on Saturday! Things have all come together though, and I was really excited to get my postdated passport, in my married name yesterday!!

    We also found out that we have been allocated married quarters as well, so its been quite a week!

    have my make up trial a week tomorrow, my hennie weekend the following week, and then I finish work on 15 th April! Has worked well so gives me the week before the wedding to do last minute stuff with the house move, and wedding bits and bobs!

    I know I dont post that much, but I love reading how everyone is getting on, just adds to the excitement!! :T:j

    Ahhhhh 1 month to go!!!

    Feels wierd to think in exactly one month we should be just finishing our service and leaving MARRIED!!

    Starting to get very nervous about my dress too :( It's still not back!! I was told it would back by the 11th at the absolute latest!! That gives them just 4 weeks, providing it comes in, in the next 2 days! Really scared they've gone and forgotten to order it back in September and I'm now being fobbed off. If it's not back by Friday, my inner "bridezilla" will be unleashed on them Saturday morning as i'm sorry but they are taking the !!!! now. I wouldn't mind so much if I had walked in last minute and chosen it but I ordered it and fully paid back in September and was told it was due back early Feb! (and breathe!!)

    I think you should call them sammr 85, id have been on the phone to them if it were me!

    B2B24 - your hen weekend sounds amazing.

    I also do think that at some point after we have all become mrs's that we all meet up somewhere to put faces to names and hugs where appropriate :rotfl::beer::beer:

    THis is a BRILLIANT idea!!! :beer:
