Well done Wanchai- hope you have a lovely holiday.

How do the shoes match against your flowers Natalie?

Melanie- when are you hoping to get your invites out?

Tracey- cant believe your due any day, that has gone so quickly, good luck and I will be keeping an eye on facebook!:)

MrsDrink

Well my flowers are burgundy and white so they look yellow lol. But I haven't held my flowers against my dress so that is a big of an unfair judgement. Doesn't matter either way - I'll get them bleached.

Well done wanchai!!

Emma - I've not been on holiday (properly) since I was 18 me and OH have never been abroad together, only on little holidays in the UK. The honeymoon will probably be our only one for quite some time because we'll be looking to buy a house after that!

Well done on the weight loss Wanchai! I've lost just a pound this week, not sure if it'll stay off for the official weigh in tomorrow because I am sitting here with a rather large glass of wine (it's difficult to judge the amount when it's in a pint glass!) I've not been to the gym as much as I would normally because of all the parents evenings and things so I'm hoping to get back into the frame this week.

Natalie, you will definitely have to wait till you see both in the same light before making the decision. It'll make a massive difference. Well done for sticking to the diet and exercise.

Wedding wise, we have our meeting at the church tomorrow - we have to get sorted with all the details of what we are having. Someone asked me about the hymns I think the other day? We are going to have:

Walking in song: the normal one (even though I don't really like it but I can't find anything else)
Hymn 1: Jerusalem (everyone will know ir because of the rugby!)
Hymn 2: Love Divine (which I thought was called Lusty Vibe until I read it on the back of the CD lol) or The Lord is my Shepherd.
Hymn 3 : honestly can't remember??? Wierd.

Register: Bach - Joy of mans desiring

Coming out song (not in a gay way): Widor Tocatta No5 or the normal one.

I have also been trying out some new foundations - I would HIGHLY recommend the Elizabeth Arden Pure Minerals if you have quite clear skin - it feels beautiful on, so light. The only thing I'm not sure about is if the coverage is enough for me because I'm self concious about the acne scarring. There isn't loads and my mum and OH said they can't tell but you know how it is! I might be posting a photo of my jaw soon lol. Currently trialling Estee Lauder Doublewear light - it's much better coverage but it's very greasy - my Vichy Dermablend camouflage is better.

Hope you are all ok anyway xx

MrsDrink

I plan on doing a full face job tomorrow and taking photos for you all Am looking forward to it.
I also plan on finishing off putting ribbons round all the candles tomorrow and photographing that as well.

Food today:
B - same old
L - left overs steak stew and veg
S - yoghurt
T - chicken wrapped in prosciutto ham with veg
S - 1 hotel chocolat choc.
E - 30 mins of light areobic DVD
Smug moment - I was given a box of chocolates today - they have been put into the fridge for when I've run out of hotel chocolat chocs.

MrsDrink

So here are the bargainous candles (£1.50 from Matalan, they are 15cm ones).

I did consider using some of my diamantes around the top and bottom of the ribbon but I thought it made them look cheap so took them off. It's not much for a centre piece - but I think it'll be enough for the tables without looking overly weddingy receptiony. Took me blooming ages to do though - I've secured the ribbon with pins. I took a pin used MrD's wire cutters to cut them so there was only about half a centimetre and a head and then pushed these into the candle to nip the ribbon. Then the back of the three candles are all pointing inwards so noone will see the pins.

Have decided I'll do a face full this afternoon - treat it as a reward for doing some housework ha!

Got asda coming this morning with the final bits of alcohol and fizzy drinks :T Another job ticked off. There is actually very little left to organise:
Pay for things.
Discuss the ceremony and find readings/music that we want.
Discuss what photos we'd like and let our photographer know.
Order the food to make our buffet and the ingredients for the cheesecake.
Find two nice photoframes to give to our parents with a photo from the day in.
Go for dress fittings and check that my shoes, necklace, hair and makeup all go.

MrsDrink

So the last of the alcohol has arrived :T And I've got nearly all the fizzy drinks I want/need, apart from full fat coke which I sent back because the BBE was June - and whilst it probably would have been okay I'd rather my coke drinking guests had coke that was at its best!

Just checked our bank account and the photographer's cheque was banked yesterday :T

Things are starting to come together now I hope the next 136 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes, 14 seconds until Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 2:00 go quickly!!

Oh and I've had a thought now I'm wearing the RC shoes - I won't *NEED* my toe nails doing - now do I phone up and rearrange it for something else or do I stick to it so I feel pampered from head to toe and they still look fabulous for night time Decisions decisions Ha!

MrsDrink

So here you go - here is a sneaky peek at what my make up will probably be like on the wedding day. I am LOVING it But looking at the photos I took in different lighting I think I'm going to have to succumb and buy an eyebrow pencil

Anyway - your thoughts?
(I've also take photos of me wearing my necklace (I am wearing clothes as well lol), and my hair to show you all )

(Bit of a gormless smile - not a natural one at all!)
**photo removed**
I can't decide how 'long' to have my necklace - short as a choker or longer like in this photo - guess will only really know when I have my dress).

Close ups:
**photo removed**
(ha grey skin or what!)
**photo removed**

Hair will be something like this but probably curlier as I haven't done anything with it this morning other than tie it back with the clips:

Hey everyone

Well foodwise I have been rubbish!

Yesterdays food was

warburtons thin with cheese, toasted with some rocket, tomatoes and cucumber
Beef monster munch
2 single archers and lemonade
2 double archers and lemonade
Indian- pompadoms, starter of 3 tiny lamb chops in spices, main was half a vegetable rice and a lamb curry and a few bites of naan

Todays food:
Jacket spud with tuna mayo and cheese

No idea what else ill have today, and Ive been rubbish with exercise aswell!

Natalie- I really like the candles.

Well Ive been cleansing and using the day cream for a few days now, and my skin on my face is much better- however, for the last 2 days Ive had a rash on my neck, I thought it was just as Ive had a stressful few days but now im wondering if its to do with what im using, I did think surely if I was allergic to something in it my whole face would be rashy, but both my sister and oh said maybe my neck is more sensitive, so I really dont know what to do!

Our best situation is sorted- basically our best man (ohs brother) rung a few weeks ago to say he was touring in July and it really didnt look like he would be able to get back for the wedding (without it then costing him all the money he had earnt touring), so we have now asked oh really good friend to be best man and he was so chuffed, so thats sorted and they will be going suit shopping hopefully next weekend.

MrsDrink

Oh and incase anyone is interested I followed this tutorial for the eyes kinda:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP8SQ84aAfw&feature=BFa&list=UUUmC122H07lU5BWK7XZimhg&lf=plpp_video

I used Painterly Mac eye shadow paint pot for a base all over the eye lid and up to the brow
I then used Wedge Mac eye shadow over the eye lid and slightly up above the crease (I have droopey eye lids)
Then I used Folie Mac eye shadow in the outer edge of my crease.
I used Naked Lunch Mac eye shadow as my highlighter in the inner corner of my eye and over the top of the Folie to blend into my brow
I also used an old Stila eye shadow Makalu with a dampened brush to act as eyeliner.
Oh and I used Mac Studio Fix lash for my lashes

(ha so I can remember what I did for the next time I practice!)

MrsDrink

Emma how about you stop using your products until the rash goes away - then start using it again. If it comes back you know it's your products x
