Hi Mrs Moore!
Its been a long hard sog to finally pick somewhere.... H2B wanted to go on a cruise cos he doesn't like flying.... couldn't find one we fancied. So I started looking for the shortest flight possible.... but he fancied Aruba cos his mate went there for his honeymoon, but there are no holidays there over the Easter hols..... so we're going to Mexico! I read loads of reviews and this hotel had none (I did promise myself I woud take no notice of reviews, but I want it to be a good place with it being a special holiday!!) Where are you off to??
I saw the thread about the BM dresses and was sat waiting all night for the pictures which look lovely..... If we ordered early enough any little hitches could be sorted, if there were any!!
I sat and searched for red dresses for hours ast night. I'd really like them all to have the same, or very similar dresses so China might be the best option!! I break up for the Summer hols soon, so might organise a trip to a bridal shop for us all first and see what happens!! Decisions decisions!! x♥.0 -
Hi Snoopy!
Its odd being called Mrs Moore - hehehe!
I have some friends that are going to Aruba next week. Ooohh Mexico, we looked at that too, when are you going to go? Straight after the wedding? Your OH sounds like mine - cant stand flying. However we are off to San Fransisco, then we are driving to Yosemite Park, Las Vegas, then Grand Canyon, then Phoenix, then San Diego then finishing up in Los Angeles. All over two weeks - phew! Just sorting out our flight times today. Im so excited I could burst!
Thats what im thinking about the China ones - there is enough time to sort it all out. Im gonna go to the shops in a coupole of weeks and see what styles/colours I definately want and im almost decided that ill go down the China route - its just too MSE to ignore!
Good idea, organise some trips out. How many BM's do you have again? Ill keep my eyes peeled for red dresses for you xx:heart2: Got Married on 30/4/11 :heart2:

My other half would marry you if he saw your honeymoon plans!! He really fancied an American tour but neither of us drive so wasn't possible!! I'm gonna do a crash course after the wedding when we have some money again so maybe in a few years!!! I'll come to you for help planning it!! I fancied going to Blackpool but he was having none of it!!
I work in a school so sorting the honeymoon and wedding round that..... We get married on Friday the 15th (I'm sure they can cope without me for a day!!) then will fly out on the 25th (which is perfect cos I won't miss any of our home games! Season ticket holder and hate missing games.... plus its £400 cheaper than going the week before!!) We arrive back in Manchester at 9am and I'm back in work at 3.... so hopefully no delays!!
I'm having 3 BMs all grown up.....would have like my Chief BMs kids aswell but looking to save money somewhere!! Plus they'll look too cute and much better than me!!
Thanks for keeping your eyes peeled for dresses. you're a star! x
Have you sorted you invitations yet? I'm getting the "need to buy things" bug.... almost bought a tiara and shoes yesterday!!! x♥.0 -
Haha, well im sure we can make room in the back for 2 stowaways! haha
Yes come to me and hopefully ill have some useful info by then!!
Does that mean you get school hols off? Ah a footie fan, bet your well into the world cup then? Thats cutting it fine, im sure that will be fine thogh - even though you will prob be v.tired. whats the time difference with Mexico?
Haha, is that a hiny of BZ?? Im the same although I have a flowergirl and pageboy too, they will look v.cute.. One of my BM's is stunning and I worry she will look better than me! haha
Oh I know, im in wedding overdrive I just want STUFF, nothing prticular just wedding stuff! Got the mock ups of the invitations (my uncle is a printer and doing it for us) just need to do the wording then we are good to go. What about you? x:heart2: Got Married on 30/4/11 :heart2:

Ooooh sounds good.... as long as we don't have to sit in the boot!!! Tell you what, we'll let you 2 go on your own, seeing as its supossed to be a romantic time!!
Yeah I get all the holidays off, which is perfect as I get to spend them all with my monster (he's 10 and will prob spend most of this Summer playing out! =( at least I can play on the internet looking for wedding things!!) Luckily its only for a couple of hours I have to work, and I'll have someone on standby just in case we're delayed!! Not sur of time difference, think its about 9 hours, we fly Monday from Mexico and land on the Tuesday morning, hopefully will get some sleep on the plane!
I am LOVING the world cup.... gutted I will miss the England game tomorrow (gonna see if its on the internet though and put it on the big screen.... the kids want to watch it of course, not me!!) Can't wait for the season to start! We had to wait for the fixture to come out last week before looking at honeymoons!! We're both huge footy fans and our colour scheme matches the colour of our teams!! I am even taking my Lofty the Lion teddy to sit on the top table!!
I've not bought anything yet, about to send off the deposit for my dress but thats it! I've been looking at invitations but not sorted anything yet.... Gonna have to buy something soon though, just so I feel I have made a start!! Aren't we daft!! x x♥.0 -
I think that would be wise! A honeymoon is for 2!
OMG!! Ive just booked the honeymoon - arghhhhhh!! IM SO EXCITED x:heart2: Got Married on 30/4/11 :heart2:

No we didn't..... I had a look at the planes for longhaul with Thomas Cook (the only ones to do the hotel we love) and they got terrible reviews..... my H2B is really tall and said he would stand up for the 10 hour flight but I can't have that..... so back to the drawing board!!
We originally were looking at cruises and I've just found one for £400 less than our Mexico trip and its all inclusive!! Aso looking at Greece (I have an obsession with anything Greek!!) but flights are not too good and its only £400 cheaper than the cruise!
Oooooooooh what do I do??? Told you I was indecisive!!!
I might go to the Travel Agent tomorrow and book the cruise as a surprise before I read anymore reviews and change my mind AGAIN!!
Oh and I bought something!! Only some table confetti off ebay but I feel sooooo much better now!!! x x♥.0 -
Snoopy... honeymoon booked!? x

Hi Mrs Moore..... I'm going to book the honeymoon on Friday! We've decided on a cruise after all!! I wasn't sure cos I thought his beer bill would be more than the cruise, but as its all inclusive we should be ok!!
I can't wait now, was a hard deciding which places to visit..... had a choice of 4 cruises but have picked one that goes to Rome and that way on.... we get to visit Pompeii too!! NOT reading ANY reviews otherwise I'll change my mind again!!
My dad popped round on Monday night and has given us £1000 towards the honeymoon, so thats a huge help bless him!
10 months to go hey....that means it's 9 and a half~ish months to mine! Eeek!! Can't wait! x x♥.0
