    VERY quick - I have had two RSVPs :) one by email - declining (I was half expecting that one) and one by the post - accepting (I did grin like a cheshire cat over that one - even though I only wanted RSVPs by email it was soooo nice getting a little card in the post!)

    Another quickie - (have a pair of shoes waiting to be opened ha)
    Quick recap
    it must be such a relief to know that you have somewhere to be. I would hate the thought of not knowing where I was going to be living!! So :j
    Melanie- I will be getting pampered the day before my wedding aswell- so just as your saying your vows Ill be getting my nails done! I would like my toe nails done aswell but I really really dont like having my feet touched!
    My pampering is coming the weekend before. :D And I'm getting just a regular manicure and pedicure mainly to shape my nails. I'm still umming and ahhing over whether to paint them burgundy or french manicure them. Will have to trial that I think when I have the dress.

    Okay verdict on the shoes - they are okay. I think they will go better with my dress... but I'm worried about their shading - I *think* may be too ivory, and not pale enough. But I'm viewing it in yellowy lighting here rather than daylight which is what I last saw my dress in. So I think they will be keeping them (well actually I ended up with two pairs - long story).

    Just looking - there are places out there that will bleach them - so I need to make a decision - I think I may pop along one weekend soon and hold them against the dress (and take my necklace). Cause obviously if I need to send my shoes off to get dyed it'll take time.

    MrD has just said "They are nice shoes" which says a lot actually. Mind you I think he prefers the height of the heel lol. They are stonkers - and I can kiss him wearing them without reaching up hahahaaa

    Were meeting with a photographer next week so that should be next thing sorted. Although thinking we will have to scale things back, just had car break down so sounds expensive :(

    I hope it's not too bad but need to wait and see. Going to up my overtime at work to try and make up for it

    Just popping in quickly. As you can imagine not done much wedding stuff as can barely get off the sofa. I have my 40 week appointment tomorrow (its actually due on Sat but dont do appointment on weekends) with my midwife and she may help things along. Am getting nervous now but also excited at the same time. Will keep you updated if I can, if not some of you are my friends on facebook so will know from there.

    The only wedding things done is brought bridesmaid shoes and now have 9 RSVPs. Also looked at my dress again yesterday as had to make sure that the table decorations were the same colour. Can not wait to try it on. Hope everyones plans and diets are going well. I will need diet support from you guys shortly xx

    Thats a bonus! I think until you put the dress near the shoes it is difficult to predict the ivory shading. The word ivory covers a million shades.
