July 2012 Brides and Grooms

MrsDrink

Good morning everyone! Well I've just turned my car back onto the motorway only to discover the detour I took has taken me back to square one. Lol it's like a game of snakes and ladders and I've just landed on a snake!

Loved the film Bridesmaids! Although it was funny it was also weapy! The things weddings do to us! I think it should be mandatory viewing for all brides

Well I have nothing weddingy planned today. My jobs this weekend are to do loads of clothes washing same as every weekend. And this weekend's spring cleaning is the turn of the dining room. so far we've done quite well in keeping the two rooms I've done relatively tidy so they can get a light touch as well what is everyone else's plans for the weekend?

Just had breakfast at the motorway services.

I was thinking - It is 8 months till our weddings... in 8 months I lost 3st 12lbs. Why on earth is it so bloomin hard to shed just a 'measly' 1stone!!

I was thinking - It is 8 months till our weddings... in 8 months I lost 3st 12lbs. Why on earth is it so bloomin hard to shed just a 'measly' 1stone!! - my thoughts exactly Natalie!
I lost 3 stone in 8 months about 7 years ago and it seemed really easy . . . ok i have put it all back on in those 7 years since *hang head in shame* but it soooo difficult to move it now and stay motivated. However today i got an item on that i haven't wore for a good 18 months so i now know the 21lb i have lost to date is starting to show!!! That good feeling has kept me on the motorway today, however, we're out at a dinner party with friends later and boy can she cook so i know its going to be a calorie laden evening!


Well i have taken H2B to see the jewellery i liked and he liked it too, however after we spent ages in the shop and i made out a long wishlist for him to take away we saw similar jewellery in nearly every high street store. It has put me off a bit because if its high fashion right now by July its going to be a bit old hat and I didn't really want a piece that everyone has seen in every shop. I like unusual pieces that are a little quirky and different and that's what my friends know for me and they all buy me different pieces. So i had a little sulk and stamped my foot BUT then we stumbled on a xmas craft fair in the cathedral grounds . . . . Oh joy there was a woman selling button jewellery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She had this beautiful bracelet covered with buttons that she made. i showed great interest but really i was checking it out and seeing how easy it was to make myself. One quick trip into the craft centre on the way home and i am now the proud owner of a stunning champagne chain bracelet and jewellery ringlets to match. So i shall now be making my own! If it all goes wrong then i shall pay the craft woman to make it but at just £3.60 for the bits i have to give it a go.


I am now sat contemplating watching a xmas movie before i get ready to go out or should i do some more housework?! Hmmm decisions, decisions.

Oh wow!!!!! Good luck making it, you will have to show us a pic when you're done!!

Well, BM and I are knackered from dress shopping! we went to 3 shops, there were 2 fab dresses; one lace dress which was £1,500 and one tulle strapless dress which was a bit much for my height but quite dreamy... £1,750!!!! Eek! I still haven't made a decision Argh!!!!! I'm bringing my mum to see my faves on 3 Dec.

Ooh, I also tried on my first birdcage veil, it was beautiful!!!! and I've found some comfy(ish) high heels! So quite a good day and it was a real laugh! The only downer was that I felt fat in some of the dresses, really struggled to get inho some of them and I'm not *that* big!!!

Btw FutureCooper, it's got to be the movie!!!

MrsDrink

I agree Melanie - Movie
Hurrah that you are going to be making your own jewellery - and even better that it's going to be buttons - will match your bouquet - lovely!! Can't wait to see photos!!

Wanchai - lol what are you like?! How many 'favourite' dresses have you got? Is one of them standing out above the rest?

wanchai_2
