Quick question....

Registry office ceremony... whats the drill? I havent been to a wedding since I was little and I was a very peeved off tomboy who had just had chicken pox and was made to wear a big puffy pink bridesmaids dress. Just realised I dont know what to expect lol.

Takes all of about 15 minutes in the registry office...I got married by the registrar in a hotel and the mine was 25 minutes but that was because we added in a couple of poems and things like that so it's basically up to you...I think they alot you a time limit of 30 minutes

Thank you Rockinbikergal.

I am now adding a section to my day... drinks, I have now sussed out that we should be married by 3.30pm but the restaraunt doesnt open till 5pm. So we are off down the pub for a wee while lol.

Ho hum, best laid plans and all that.

So bridesmaids dresses have arrived and they are both too small... lol! oh well. So on Saturday I will be popping round to my mates to see if DD's dress fits her DD. They are both the same age (2 weeks difference) but mates DD wears 9-12 months clothing and my DD wears 18-24 months. So hopefully my DD;s dress will fit my mates DD and I will only need to send one dress back.....I'm sure I have managed to make it sound far more complex than it is.

I still have an evil cold and my mum arrived today to tell me that I have a huge baby bump for being only 22weeks. Cheers mum. lol

are they actually bridesmaids dresses coz if so they are normally let outable (I know its not proper english :P) so can normally be let out up to 2 sizes...if not find yourself a good seamstress and she will be able to work wonders with panels..your description isn't that complicated but they do make these allowances even for the youngsters

As for your mum telling you you have a huge baby bump....I would gladly swop...am having one of my nights where I just feel fat and frumpy and keep getting told I am too tiny and neat to be 21 weeks gone Ignore me....wrote an epic post across the way and its done the opposite of cheering me up and got me down again


Edited to include a big hug and pass you a warm ribena and honey to help cut down the symptoms of the cold xxxx

No unfortunately they are not "proper" dresses lol and have checked the hemming so not enough to let out. To be honest I am allowed to swap for free so I may as well rather than pester MIL (ex seamstress) to fart about with the dresses. Plus the one for my mates DD is a bit short so would be really stuffed on that one.

Big bump is just due to the fact I carry big, and make big babies (DD was 10lb3 2 days early). So I would happily swap this one for a smaller model lol. I saw your epic post. To be honest you should be proud of yourself, your here, your in a loving relationshiop with another bundle of love about to enter your lives. Of course these things rear their ugly head from time to time and bring us down (especially when pg and hormonal) but we must be grateful for the here and now. I believe that if I hadnt been through all the carp in my life I wouldnt be having all the good stuff now

Sorry started a quick reply ended in an long winded one hohum.
Hugs

haha your OH must be my OH's twin from a parallel Universe lol. At 15 I was told I wouldnt be able to have kids..... OH did so many illegal substances as a teen that he thought he was infertile.... yet we managed to fall pregnant on the pill first time and using condoms the second time. OH is always harking on about his super sperm lol.

I love those shoes.... Alas I think at 7 months pregnant I would have lost the ability to balance in heels that high. They are now in my fantasy shoe list. Red or dead tend to feature heavily in my fantasy shoe list.

Those red heart ones from Irregular Choice: WANT. WANT NOW.

I'd be in tears after about 30 seconds trying to stand in them though, forget walking!
