    Add me when you do Birdie :D I loved Tangled, the lantern scene was beyond pretty! And I'm planning on, getting myself a little Pascal. N'awh! It's only a 1 day there deal, lots of travelling packed into very little time. But I'm looking forward to it, going with OHs family and I don't get to see them very often. I second CMD, what is it you're gonna wear tomorrow? Think I remember you putting a dress on your thread but I'm not sure!

    Sounds like you're back on the ball for money making Dinah. 20% back for the tickets, like you said, is better than the nothing you would have got for just not going. Are you going to twitpic some of the samples so I can have a nosey? :A

    I'm wearing this tomorrow, my wedding dress is still at the shop waiting to be paid for and collected! Mum's going next Friday with my little wheely case to get it properly packed.

    OH's Mum is really excited about it, she's even ironed her knickers for the occasion, she sent me a text to tell me! :rotfl:

    I don't want to make a big thing of it all because it kind of makes the whole Dominican bit pointless, when I spoke to the lady at the registry office she asked me if we want music? 'No'. Do I want to make a grand entrance? 'No'. Do we want the long ceremony? 'No'! I just want to be in, out, married and drinking within the hour! :rotfl:

    ETA: I want a Pascal too! I hope I can get one in Florida! :D

    The dress actually looks nicer IRL, it's straighter, not so flared, unless I've just got the size too small?! :rotfl: I'm wearing my Louboutins too! :j My Mum and I were talking about what I was wearing on my feet and decided that it'd be best to wear my new shoes in, if anything they need roughing up a bit on the bottom so I don't skid all over the hotel because the soles are too smooth! Although I'm devastated at the thought of wrecking the beautiful red soles, OH may end up carrying me whenever we go outside because I lose the nerve to ruin them!

    Dinah - Your business sounds like it will be very busy for you! I know a few caterer friends who moan that they have the demand for cupcakes but can't always find appropriate cases for them! Sounds like you have found a niche in the market!

    Birdie - Wow, I love the shoes and the dress. I'm so jealous! Hope you enjoy tomorrow!

    Cinny - Hope you have fun at Disneyland! I've always wanted to go!
