Hi Thanks for all your lovely replies.

I feel ungrateful for not being as happy as I should. I had just hoped it would have all been sorted and in these last weeks I would be messing with the final details, decorations etc.

I have already got my shoes off freecyle, the lady even sent them to me as I don't drive - they turned out to be brand new and fit perfectly.
Thanks for the link for the Matalan suits. I need to measure OH but he just doesn't seem to be bothered in getting it done, think I need to pin him down. He does already have some lovely jackets but doesn't have any matching trousers for it.

I was thinking of when OH get's paid going into town and searching the charity shops as there are loads, I am sure to find some bits there. Hopefully get a bridesmaid dress otherwise my sister will have to wear a dress she already has.
The sort of gazebo we want is a big one about 3x6m. Our house isn't big enough for everyone, so we are having our fingers crossed it is going to be nice weather. My parents have a big 8 man tent, the old style with proper bars and windows, I might see if we can build it up and see what it's like (last time we went camping was about 10 years ago so I don't really remember size etc.

I had thought of asking on freecyle for some garden tables etc but I feel like a scrounger as I've already asked for the shoes. Neither of us drive so we have to arrange a family member helping us pick up. I guess if I don't ask then I won't get and can't complain about it.

My parents won't put anymore to the wedding, they aready bought my dress. It's too late to go back. I think it will be okay, its just the bust area that is too big, I could do with a padded bra for it. It isn't tradtional, its knee lenth with shoulder straps but is cream. They were meant to be buying my sisters/bridesmaid dress from the same catalogue but my mum bought her dress from there instead so there wasn't enough left on her account.

I think I am just feeling a bit down after seeing pics of my cousins wedding a few days ago. She looked beautiful and the day looked so polished and wonderful. I am feeling jealous about it all. My sister had her prom last week too and she looked beautiful too, my parents spent £100's on her. I just need to get a grip and be happy that I am marrying the love of my life and the father of my child. Logically I know it could be sorted in time, it just seems such a big task right now.

if you're anywhere near me I can lend you my patio table and chairs - they're still in the box in our shed.
You can borrow my tiara too - I'm not getting married till next year, so it's never been worn.
I've been collecting glass bowls I've picked up in charity shops for a sweetie buffet - you can have them for your buffet if you need them.

I'm sure what you have will be lovely - it's just important that you feel special on your wedding day. Let me know if I can help at all.

The woman I am getting my dress from no longer runs the shop so has lots of spare things, including flowergirl dresses, I can see if I could get a price/pics for you if you want?

See your local garden centre for flowers, I got a fake bunch for 5.99, a bit of ribbon round it and it's good to go!

Buffet, things like chicken legs, cocktail sasauges would be good. At worst get some pizzas that you can stick in when you come back from getting married

The gazebos are in the supermarkets now, I think tesco have one for about £40

Sorry I have crossed posted with a few people. I live near Sheffield and I am a size 10. I think I will stick with my dress, like I said in PP a padded bra and I should be fine. I may also see if my gran can alter it, she is fab at things like that.

I was thinking about making bunting out of some flowery curtains from the charity shops as we don't have anything planned. We don't have a colour scheme, it is just a case of whatever comes by. The base colour is ivory/cream.

Money is so tight at the moment. Food has to come before wedding stuff. So buying another dress isn't really an option unless I can get something for a fiver from a charity shop.

A tiny part of me wants to cancel it for next spring, (just before our notice runs out). I feel it's just going to prolong the stuggling to get stuff, more important things always seems to come along.

Once again thanks for everyones help. If only £1000 would drop into my lap, it would be easy for what we want and we'd probably have plenty left over.

Honestly - let us know where you are, I bet between us, we can make it a perfect day!

Could you borrow any garden furniture from the neighbours?
