    Don't even mention that! :eek::eek::eek: I have a phobia of all things baby! Can't handle kids under the age of 10, I just don't know what to do with them! Dunno how you do it!

    If you have a blamanche though, how will people see your shoes? It's all about the shoes! *dreams* I can imagine my shoes will take longer to find than the dress...

    Whilst you're moving around desperately trying to find some position that might help relieve (some of) the pain, I'll be at the end of your broadband connection to help you through it *Gives Silaqui a little pat on the back* :D

    Not happening any time soon - next door's baby crying 24/7 is enough to put me off kids for life!

    And you must have more than one pair - I have 3! Did buy all 3 in the sale though and 2 of them I will definitely wear again!

    LALALALALALALAL *fingers in ears* :p Oh love that cake BTW!!!

    Miss nixon, I am a shoe addict anyway (I've just had to sell some on ebay to make room for more) :(:o so imagine like you I will have at least 3 pairs and I'll be dashing round on the morning of the wedding stressing about which ones to wear!! Got to be done though hasn't it :p

    I've been having a little look at things today and was thinking about timings - the church is provisionally booked for 12-1 which sounds a bit early to me? We have a meeting with the vicar soon so I can change it, but is that too early or is it about normal? I was just thinking what on earth do you do in the time after you've had dinner and before the evening guests arrive? Must be a bit boring just hanging around. I suppose if we make our own buffet (dunno if that will be the case yet) we can spend that time getting it all laid out.

    Also I did some sneaky honeymoon pretend shopping and the flights to Cleveland for Cedar Point are 1300 for two people :eek::eek::eek: and that doesn't include anywhere to stay or tickets yet! It does look amazing though, think I will have to start saving airmiles!!

    silaqui - we've provisionally booked ours for half past 1 and apparently it takes ages to get through the service and eating so there won't be much time in between! :eek: I thought it sounded a bit early!

  • Silaqui our church is booked for 2.30 and we're eating at 5. I'm not having anyone come to the house for hair / make up though. I'm currently planning on going to my normal hairdresser in the morning for a wash / blow dry. That is unless I have a complete change of heart and grow my hair long again!
