See now I prefer this one. I like the pitch of this one better - nice and deep. BUT I don't know if it's weddingy enough. It is rather slow and sedate. Would be a lovely piece to do yoga/relaxation to but not sure about it being celebratory enough. Hope that makes sense!!
This is the Stanton Lanier one I really like.

And I also like this one of his:

From the moment it starts.

(I really hope MrD likes something like this - I can see me walking down the aisle to him to this sort of twinkly music. Lol although there is NO WAY I'm walking for anywhere near 4-7mins!!! Lol I will be running down the aisle - no hanging about for me!)

Our church is really old and quite big, and the aisle is very long it'll take ages to walk up it! And my mum will make me go slowly lol!

Thanks for those pieces of music, must listen to them on the PC.

Wow, it's chatty in here tonight!!

I leave you all alone for 1 evening and we have a New bride - Welcome Zara! - and i miss all the fun. Zara - i would recommend facebook as an idea for your fishbowl theme. I had a link sent me from one of our other brides and for a hire company. You could search your area and see what comes up. I am in Lincolnshire and this particular company hires chair covers, baytrees, table centre pieces and linens etc. They courier them to you and you return courier the day after the ceremony.

Thank you Futurecooper, i have tried searching but keep getting quoted redicuolous prices for the hire on centrepieces, i am sure companies add extra 00's when you say ''wedding'' :eek:

Emma - just went back and checked. Well done on your FA requslification!!! Brava! and well done on going to the gym too, you should be well proud.

Tracey - your flowers are fab, and eek @ how close your due date is!!! How exciting! :beer:

Tasha - that is a *lot* of weight to lose in 6 months, my lovely. And bridal sizes are less generous than high street sizes. I need to lose a stone and am finding it hard so I feel your pain xx

Thanks Wanchai- was it for passing my first aid?? I think thats all ive done that could possibly get a congratulations.

Zara- Have you looked at the crystals that grow when put in water and go gel like- they would work out fairly cheap I reckon- although you would have to find out if the would stay at the bottom or if they would float.

Hello to anyone I've missed out btw!

Slight bridezilla moment coming up:

OH is taking charge of the honeymoon research - at last, he's doing *something*!!!! but now he's obsessed with it and talks about it all the bl00dy time... eh, hello, we have a whole wedding to plan as well! He's not that interested in most of it

I can't believe how many newbies we have had in the last couple of days. I think I am going to have to check this thread at least once a day otherwise I am going to get so far behind.

The florist I spoke to was charging between £2-£3 a lily. So on a bouquet of 5 lilies plus extra bits it would be approx £25. I worked out they can do four bridesmaid bouquets, my bridal bouquet, eight pinholes and the two thank you bouquets for around £200. The only problem is we have to pick them up. The thank you bouquets we can pick up night before and take to venue (they have the water in the cellophane) but we can only pick up bridal party flowers on the day in the morning. Is this normal? What if I don't like them?

Yes, that was it! :rotfl:

I have to admit I agree with all the comments about weight loss and achievable goals. I did manage to lose 3st12lbs in 8 months but that wasn't with a wedding to plan and stress over... let alone trying to lose that in any shorter time.

Well Training Run 5 has been and gone. And actually I did much better psychologically than I did on Monday. My head was just in the right place. Now considering we had to run up hills hard and fast, and run down hills slow and steady.... and we agreed that MrD could pace up hills ahead of me and in his own speed... but that meant on the down hill bits and flat bits I couldn't relax quite as much because I was trying to catch him up... over all I did it in only a few seconds more than I did the same run on Monday. Feeling rather smug really. Friday we have Training Run 6 - which is another 8K but running it all normal (no specific of running harder in certain areas). Will see how much easier it is compared to last Friday's 8K. Our biggest problem is we live in a fairly hilly area. The roads are named after their hill - like 'new bridge hill' and 'grimsby road hill'. They aren't just nice gradual and short hills. So every run we do we encounter the !!!!!!s!!

Now is there anyone I've missed on the list of brides (and grooms)? And is there anything anyone wants adding/altering e.g. names and places of ceremony (either specific town or general county).
