    My confession is....I'm having a serious case of the wedding jitters and with noone to talk to I'm blowing it way out of proportion in my head! :(

    Thank god I'm not the only one! Everytime my little countdown thing comes up I feel a little bit sick :(

    You a definitely not the only one Tasha - our wedding website has an automatic countdown until the wedding (103 days if you're interested... I'm sure you're not) and every time I see it it fills me with a sense of impending doom.


    I'm certain I want to marry The Boss... just if we could do without all this wedding fiasco it would be grand.
    Officially saved enough to cover the cost of our wedding! :A

    Thank you for replying - was beginning to feel invisible. When we have little niggles at each other I look at him and think "and THIS is forever?!" I know I love him, I know he loves me, he loves DD and he treats us both amazingly. I just feel so constricted ATM! So glad I'm not alone.

    Yup - 58 days for me if your interested (might make you feel better - I know I feel better when other people have less time than me!)

    I can't wait to be married - I would just like to fast-forward passed all the stress of the last bits to do and the panic I feel building when I think about it all. The wedding will be fine - it will ALL be fine.. doesn't mean I'm sleeping through the night though...

    No problems, I have been having the same feeling that nobody understands or listens properly. They all try to REASON with me - there is no reasoning with a neurotic bride (I refuse to call myself bridezilla but am happy to own my neurosis). It will all be fine.. the little niggles are probably worse because you are aware of them instead of 'everyday' life where you would have a whinge to the besty and move on... We are all here to listen!

    Yup - depressing isn't it. Also depressing that wedding dresses fit on average 2 sizes smaller. When I went to The National Wedding show last year one woman (quite rightly) guess and ANNOUNCED my size to the whole stall - which was NOT fine - at 2 sizes larger. Yes, thank you, that IS the size of my wedding dress but please don't make people think its the size of me in normal clothes! :(

    Thanks Tasha - definitely makes me feel less anxious about the little niggles! I don't have a besty because most people round here all !!!!! about each other and are very clicky so I keep myself to myself. I even work in a male orientated business - suits me down to the ground!

    My daughter and her partner have decided to get married abroad, before making the final decision they asked both sets of parents and there siblings (one each) if they would come, once they agreed they booked.

    They then sent an email to all their friend and relatives saying ' there would be no invitations this is when the wedding is we would like you to come but understand if you can't'

    This seems a perfect way to do it to me.
