Just spoke to my dress maker - got my first design appointment on the 1st of Feb. Got 10 days to exercise off as many mince pies as I can before she does the measurements!

thanks for the welcome's everyone! and for the ideas about wedding flowers and colours - am also pleased that they may be cheaper as in season!

getting a bit scared about the days counting down though! have hopefully found my photographer though (at a good price) and also booked the organist so a couple more things ticked off!

Had a call today to say dress has arrived!!! :j:j:j
Earliest I can get in to see it is 4th Feb!

I nearly squealed at the poor woman who called me to tell me it had arrived! :rotfl:

I feel a bit chuffed off today tbh. :mad::undecided
I went into work last nite and while i was there went to book our holidays for our honeymoon and we can only have the time off in August - Not Happy! :mad: You would think with it being our honeymoon (and you only get married once, that they would make sure we get when we wanted - BUT NO!!!) everyone has booked holidays and because they only let 3 people off at any one time we cant have ours until August (we both work together)
It was either August or end of sept, so given the choice we went for August. This rules out most places we wanted to go - 1 reason because for places like the caribbean islands and Thailand its hurricane season. 2 - Mauritius that woman has just been murdered 3 - tunisia well i wont go there with that one so everywhere where we fancied going something has stopped us.
We dont want to go anywhere in Europe we wanted a more exotic place and somewhere you dont visit often. hense the caribbean or thailand etc
A collegue of ours has suggested Cape Verde has anyone ever been?what is it like? we really dont know where we want to go now :think:

sorry i just needed to vent *SIGHS*

Hi Bride2be,
aww that sounds rubbish, can't believe they won't let you take the time off. Which reminds me, I should check with my work too - we work together too, but was assuming there wouldn't be a problem. Need to get it down on paper!

If it helps, we're going to Mauritius, although in May so not sure what it's weather is like in August -might be rainy. I try not to worry too much about bad news - bad things happen everywhere. It doesn't mean you yourselves wouldn't have a really magical time there. Hurricanes on the other hand, I do try and avoid. My friends going on honeymoon in August said the Maldives are good weather wise.

Thanks for that FlowerPower although the Maldives looks stunning everyone goes there so wanted to avoid it if we could. Mauritius is hurricane season in August unfortunately

we have the same problem, my OH cant take any time off in May so we have booked the first two weeks in June (after the may half term) which is a bit annoying as i feel like going straight back to work after the wedding will be a bit of a come down! at least we have the BH monday which will help a bit

Bride2be24

I know exactly how you mean about going straight back to work i feel the same. I suppose its something to look forward to after soaking up all the goings on, on our special day but its a real let down because we cant have when we want. another thing thats so bloody annoying with it being august prices are still sky high

I'm going back to work on the Tuesday too, friends of mine who have not gone on honeymoon straight after the wedding say it's nice to be around to enjoy everyone talking about the wedding, so I'm hoping it will be the same for us too! I hope..! We're waiting until October-but that is luckily our choice as we're off to New Zealand for the end of the rugby world cup
Just think-we can all come back on here and admire each others wedding photos! :j
