Well I was a definate no, but now Im not so sure! I guess I should wait until I have a hair trial and know how im going to have my hair then I will decide if I need one.

Right I WILL have a good day today!!
Breakfast: Branflakes, wheatabix and dried fruit.
Lunch: Homemade cockaleekie soup.
Tea: Bolognaise mince with dry roasted veggies.

I also must start exercising again and start doing my arm toning exercises again.

Last night I had a dream about my dress - I cannot wait to see it again!!

Just looked at the site I got my wedding ring from - it is now £60 more than I paid for it :T Hurrah for being MSE!

Hi everyone,
It seems like I'm a bit late to join this forum, but I'm a July 2012 bride too! On the 7th!

Have got the venue, photographer, band, sorted... plus ordered my dress. Trying to sort out florists at the moment. How are you all getting on?

Having a few probs with family politics and of course, the budget!! Trying to lose another stone and a half before the big day... am doing WeightWatchers - anyone else doing this?

About veils - I always thought I wouldn't have one, but when I tried my dress on, I tried a veil on with it and actually loved it, so I probably will get one... but definitely won't wear it over my face!!

Morning! Everyone's rings are gorgeous! I'll post a pic of mine soon Natalie - well done on being MSE! :T Hope you get on well with the healthy eating today!

Welcome Chezabelle! Sounds like you are pretty organised, with all the big stuff booked! I tried a 'proper' veil in the shop, but don't think it's very 'me'. I think I'm pretty decided on a birdcage veil (don't think my mum is too impressed, but ho hum! :rotfl:)

Lauralou - hope you and the bump are well! Seeing your dress on Sat will be exciting! Try it on with the bump - that would be so cute!

Its never to late to join in Cezabelle - Welcome to the amazing month of July 2012.

I'm having a very busy few weeks at work and still got teenager drama's i'm dealing with at home so i need to get my wedding head back on as it is much happier place to be than where my head is at the moment.

I am desperate to wear my wedding ring as it so bling and sparkly just like my engagement ring and i have to be honest they were both top budget BUT i have explained on here before if you are wearing it every day for at least the next 40 years (going on the fact i am way older than you guys!!), thats 14,600 days. My wedding ring at £1500 works at about 10p a day and my engagement ring is about the same so i think H2B is a lucky man and got away lightly :rotfl:
So my advice is if you love the ring don't look at the price tag just buy it, wear it with pride and love every day you wear it! How come we don't mind spending thousands of pounds on feeding our guests on the big day and making sure the wine is flowing but we feel guilty for having a beautiful ring we'll all wear forever and is the biggest symbol of love and commitment (IMO) - phew, i think my waffling and ranting at home has leaked onto the forum, sorry!

Good luck with the dress LauraL and i hope Wanchai has made up with H2B and Natalie i love your attention to detail, a girl after my own heart!

Welcome chezabelle. As you will see we are a very chatty, friendly, excited bunch! Im not doing weight watchers but a few of us are trying lose a bit of weight so we are encouraging eachother at the moment!

Grrr- why do people have to make yummy looking chocolate cake when Im trying to be good! I have done well this week and resisted doughnuts, little cakes and now I need to try and resist this cake- its not fair!!:mad::D

OMG so much chat today, hurrah!!!!!!!

Wanchai- Ive always preferred yellow gold on me, I love white gold, and it always seems lately that the nicest rings are white gold (and usually in budget), but I just prefer yellow gold on my fingers.

Wanchai- hope your ok and hope you and oh have made up now.x

Thanks. We made up last night, it was a silly argument really

I told oh when he got my engagement ring (£300) that my rings from then on would be cheaper, but my wedding ring (£379) is more than my engagement ring, and after looking at 18k wishbone shaped eternity rings it seems they are a lot more!! So I think my wish for an eternity ring will be just a wish for a few years yet! Oh gets a £40 wedding ring!!:D

How is everyones healthy eating/ being good going this week? Im doing ok, have had a few naughty treats, like ive just had a bag of nik naks, but overall I have been doing well, and have been eating much better food while im at work, and have been eating smaller portions at home.

I've been spectacularly bad!!!!! I need to get my diet back on track badly.

Went dress shopping last night even though I am feeling fat - tried on this and loved it: http://www.justinalexanderbridal.com/jar/8596

But I think I still prefer this one:

Oh and Wanchai - I do hope you're feeling better soon. I have to remind myself that even though we are getting married, and love each other very much, that we are both still human beings and therefore are allowed to have disagreements without it meaning the end of the world. (I'm cringing slightly while I'm writing this - remembering LauraR's sad news). MrD and I carry on the same old 'us' as before we got engaged. We clearly love each other, but we're most certainly not all doey eyed and day dreamy. We still rub each other up the wrong way, we still go to bed in a grump (this is the one thing I would change about him if I could - it drives me insane), and we do still have misunderstandings, but we still love each other. x

Thanks for that MrsD. :A I feel the same! OH has no problem going to bed on an argument but I hate it!

I cant decide whether to get a veil- is anyone else having one- definately not having one??

I would love love love a veil, just hope that my hairstyle/accessories will allow it! I love the Spanish style mantilla veils, they are so pretty...







I also love birdcage veils

Welcome chezabelle!!!! :T

I'm probably the least organised on this thread :rotfl: so whatever you haven't done yet, I haven't done it either! I only joined in a few weeks ago but it seems like forever. Oh and I'm trying to lose weight too - a stone would be good, 1.5 stone would be perfect!

Grr just wrote a reply but then navigated away from the page by mistake!!

The highlights:

Welcome chezabelle.

Wanchai - I think I prefer 8530 but it is a close call
