Mine to add today... i don't care how laid back we've been for the last year, it's now 5 months away with xmas in between and you NEED to go sort out suits and rings!!

Would it make you feel better if I said that our wedding is just over 2 weeks after yours but we haven't sorted either, either?

YES! Thank you! I wouldn't mind were it not for the fact there is literally no plan, logic or even potential of doing either any time soon and OH works messy shifts so weeks can just fly by before he'll get chance. ah well.

OK, my wifezilla rants regarding my wedding day... Now those of you brides-to-be I don't want to panic you - they didn't bother me on the day but looking back I have these niggles that I can't say to anyone because everything else was so amazing

To my sister: Yes it was slightly chilly in the morning, but it really wasn't THAT cold that you needed to wrap yourself in a big shawl for the photos before we left my parents house. You were wearing a beautiful dress which you had commissioned to be made especially by your designer friend, but you can't see it in any of the photos and you look a bit of a wally as me and my other sister are smiling happily in our strapless gowns without a woolly wrap!

To my photographer: Yes I work for you, and I think you did an amazing job with the photographs, but I still paid the going rate (almost £2000) and there are no photos of my mum & dad together on their own

To my mother: I hadn't realised the above and would still be blissfully unaware had you not pointed it out to me on Friday when I'd had the crappiest week at work, sending me into total meltdown & causing me to spend the whole evening crying

To my reception venue: Arrival drinks mean they're ready to be served when we get there, not 15 minutes after we've all arrived (after being chased by both the photographer and me!)

And finally to my (now) husband: When I asked you to put the CD together for the registry office, I gave you a specific order for the songs and trusted you enough not to check it...!! I very nearly didn't walk down the aisle to the song I was supposed to, and we didn't walk out to anything... And jumping in a taxi with a few of your mates to get to the hotel at the end of the night wasn't really how I thought we'd start our married life and wasn't exactly what I'd had in mind when I asked you to organise the transport... :rotfl:

Everything else was perfect

Mine is in between your weddings and we haven't done suits yet, or bridesmaid dresses, or rings....

Ok slightly annoyed with OH atm.

We are all meant to be going for a meal the night before the wedding so that everyone can meet and get to know each other. My mum & his still haven't met.

Now he wants to also celebrate his brothers birthday at the same time. His brother is 25 and miserable as sin!! He hates getting any kind of attention so much so he turned OH down in being an usher.

I know I'm being totally unfair but this is our night!

Also he is paying for his brothers suits so his lazy bum "mother" (huh!) doesn't have too but he wants them to be dressed the same as the bridal party but both of them declined being ushers!

I said I don't mind you hiring the suits (£100 EACH!) but please put them in something different from the Ushers. He can't see why I'm annoyed over this.

To add insult to injury one of his brothers (the only one in the family who works :eek::mad: besides OH) works in Asda so he could get discounts on their suits there why should we be paying for them when they have made it clear they aren't interested

I am really happy that you have found someone you want to spend your life with, but is it really necessary for you to target my wedding day as the day on which he proposes? You have, as MoH tried to veto dresses, shoe selections, jewellery, complained about your hair, the Make up artist and have asked for a bolero 'just in case it is chilly' on the day. I have humoured you so far, but I am so angry that you can't let us have ONE day on which you aren't thinking solely of YOUR SELF. Because it will be romantic, won't it?
No - it would be selfish and it is un-necessary. Try the other 364 days between now and then...
That's better

We found out on the morning of a good friend's wedding day that my Wife was expecting our first born.
That was hard to keep quiet I can tell you, what with there being a free bar an all!

We waited until after the weekend to announce and a few people thought something was up.

Please dont raise your eyebrows and say ''Oh...2014?!!'' when you ask when I am getting married.

Am intrigued by this, we're hoping to pay for our bridal party stuff but OH has been to three weddings in last 2 years where groomsmen paid for their own, including when he was best man...interesting

Maybe's it's not as taboo as I thought it was.
