:T My big brother has just announced his engagement - they will be getting married 11th Aug 2012. Very happy! It gives me something exciting to look forward to after our wedding to stave off the post-wedding blues - is that selfish? Lol. My, our, plan is to get married 17th, party 21st, jet off on honeymoon before 11th Aug then go to my brother's wedding.

*edit*
Lol I must remember to not interfere in their planning!! (By which I mean ask too many 'hows it going' questions) lol.

PinkPrincess83

Oh how exciting about your big brothers announcement- bet that was a suprise!! Oh and just to say- hes getting married on my ohs birthday!! What a fun packed summer you will have next year- and no thats not selfish- I think you definately need things to keep you occupied after the wedding!!


:j:jMy one year countdown can start!! woohoo!!:j:j

Natalie your necklace looks lovely and how nice of your mum. Your cupcakes sounds so yummy

OzMel sounds so exciting going to a big bridal fair

Emma glad you got your cake sorted. All this talk about cake is making me Hungry. May have to ask OH if she wants to start practicing!

Havn't done much wedding bits - been getting really bad headaches so not really done much this week but the bridemaid shoes arrived today. My sister has tried hers on and they fit so just need my other BM to try on.
Think i have found someone to do the make-up and is fairly cheap and recommened by my hairdresser and my sister. So i may get my nails done by her in a couple off weeks so i can see whats shes like and go from there!

I can't believe that a year today I will be getting married (plus others of you as well)

Natalie: I love that necklace. My morning sickness is mainly during the morning but feel queasy all day. I have not uploaded any pictures yet of our holiday but will show you some when I have.

Emma: It is so nice when you get another item ticked off your list. Am glad that you found your cake and love it

Hope you all don't mind me posting my list of things that need doing.



(Red – Organised but not completed) (Orange – needs thinking about)
Wedding Invites – Need to come up with a design and sort out costs. Will pop into hobby craft at the weekend
Bridesmaid shoes – Need BM to try them on to make sure they fit
Honeymoon – Have requested a brochure. So when that arrives I will ring and book.
Suits – Being done in October
Bride’s bag – Will look online
Jewellery – Look online and maybe pop into a bridal shop in town as at a wedding fayre they had nice jewellery that was cheap.
Wedding rings – Not sure when to do as my fingers may grow big during pregnancy? May do this in 2weeks when OH has a couple of days off for the scan.
Favour boxes and items – No idea where to start!
Balloons – Know what company I want to go with but is it too early to book now?
Chair Covers – Need to apply for quotes
Hair and make-up – Need to ask my hairdresser when I next see her and try the make-up lady first by having nails done soon.
Grooms shoes – Can be done next year. OH hates posh shoes!
Bridesmaid jewellery and bag – Will look online and in bridal shop
Gifts – Mothers x3 – Fathers x2 – Best Man – Bridesmaids x2 – No idea what to get!
Guest Book – Need to pop into town – may do that next week.
Cameras – Cheap cameras for the tables –will look online. Anyone else doing this?Or is it not worth spending money when people will have their own cameras.
Centrepieces – Don’t know what to have. We will be having balloons on the table so maybe something small?
Book to give notice – Need to ring them.


Tracey my sickness was only in the morning as well.
and congrats to you and emma for being on your one year countdown!

My mum made a comment yesterday about getting her friend to do the invites- I was like no, we are doing them! And then she said she wont do them in the holidays cos shes hoping she can publisher from work and will be able to everything on there- grrr- i wanted them doing (Emma stomps her feet in a bridezilla hissy fit!!:rotfl:)

If you find any cheap cameras let me know as I need to get some- not for the tables but for my childrens photo mission!! I may just get some normal ones in boots as they were like £6 each but bogof- it wont really matter if they arent weddinging!

This time next year Ill be a married lady- lets hope it whizzes by!!

My last big thing is a dj. Then its the smaller things!!

PinkPrincess83

Who would have thought writing a guest list would be so difficult!! Im limited to 45 for the registry office and my ideal list comes to 47! What to do!!

Rant over!!:rotfl:
