    The highlights:

    Welcome chezabelle.

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

    Thanks :) they are both stunning but I love the simplicity of 8530 :) Going to try on more dresses next week! Then I need to make a decision :eek:

    I hate it when I've typed a big post and it disappears xx

    Lol I can't help with them - I did think the spanish ones looked kinda 'kyle' like - I could imagine her wearing one. Lol.

    Well I've just had a yoghurt (planned snack) and might have a little nap. I WANT to lose weight. I want to be a slim bride more than I want to taste naughty food - lol so why isn't that enough to keep me on the straight and narrow!! Ha!

    Oh and PS All my family's Christmas gifts arrived today :) That's got them sorted! Lol Although sorting Christmas out so early is playing havoc with me cause I love Christmas and I love the count down - but my count down has started nearly a whole month sooner than it should have done!! I'm going to be a wreck by Christmas day!!

    Yep I did mean Kylie lol. Kyle was close enough! :) I didn't mean she has worn one - just that I could imagine her wearing one. :)
    Birdcage veils always make me think of Reece Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama. :) (Not necessarily a bad thing).

    Well I've had a nap - MrD is home, will give him some peace and quiet but soon I want to be thinking about cooking tea else I just won't be arsed.

    Wanchai- I have no idea how your going to decide on a dress- they are all so stunning. I think once you have chosen your dress you will then get an idea on the type of veil (if any) to go for.

    Someone was eating a cake at work the other day saying 'yum' and waving it under my nose and I said 'no, im now giving it, I will be a skinny bride'!!:rotfl:And I did manage to resist! I so hope Ive lost 1lb this week!

    Repeat with me 'we will be skinny brides, we will be skinny brides, we will be skinny brides'!! :rotfl:

    Well I've won tonight's battle - tea is in the oven :) (cue smug mode). I have 3 days (well two left) to turn this week around and aim for a Stay The Same! I was 9lbs lighter when I went to try on wedding dresses with my mum :(
