    Wow Jenna, that is organised!!! Oops, congratulations by the way!

    I've not done anything since booking church and venue. Have recruited bridesmaids and flower girls and that's about it.....must get my backside into gear!

    Keep us posted on your planning :D x

    Ooooh... how exciting, loads more people!

    Have extended the list in the first post. Noticed we have date twins on the 28th, and a wedding on my little sister's birthday, the 20th.

    This weekend has been up and down wedding planning wise...
    I bought my sisters bridesmaid dress in a charity shop this week, £9!!! Bargain!!! :)
    My Mum came to see my dress that I LOVE and she hated it. :(

    Yay all these lovely April 2012 brides!!!

    Well done on the bridesmaid dress emz - bargain! Sorry to hear your mum didn't like your dress, as long as you love it that's what matters. What is it she didn't like? Pic?

    I'm very excited about going dress shopping with my little sis on Monday, she's home from New Zealand for couple of months so trying to cram in dress and bridesmaid stuff whilst she's here as she won't be coming back again until the wedding :(

    Hi All,
    I'm getting married this April (2011) but thought I'd see what you're up to!
    Neilcrook-no word of a lie, you're more organised than me :rotfl:!
    Chocaddict-where abouts in Hampshire are you from? I'm getting married in a village near Andover-if you want any recommendations etc..let me know.
    What sort of weddings are you all having?
    Good Luck x

    Mum said "It does nothing for you" but the reasoning, when I got to the bottom of it, I think, is because it doesn't fit as it's a sample. Argh!!!

    I've got an appointment somewhere else this weekend, but I don't know what to do now as I don't want mother criticising everything I choose and like!

    That sounds lovely choc, great sister girly bonding time... enjoy your day on Monday! :)

    Ooooh, Magicboo, we cross posted!!!

    How exciting... 3 months time! Woop!

    My wedding is a church wedding, with a reception in a village hall 2 villages away with a BBQ reception, an ice cream cart and a disco in the evening.

    So far though only the church is booked!

    How is your wedding planning going magicboo?
