July 2012 Brides and Grooms

MrsDrink

Yaaaaaaaay Laura giving your invites out
and :rotfl: about your OH paying more attention to his xbox. In our house we have a good 40-60 mins of 'me' time, which means I go upstairs snuggle into bed with a good book, and he gets to play on his xbox in peace. Then when I get drowsy I come down, give him a nudge, and get us an hotel chocolat choccie to take back up to bed

Welcome Joewa. The July brides are stacking up now!

Well H2B and I have settled on our evening guests. No more arguements, I just laughed at him and really can't be bothered to fight over it. You see that's why I'm marrying him because we laugh at the little things and we can't even argue for long! I just start laughing at him.

So my best bit of Monday was coming home after a training day at school and having a nice family meal and catch up with my kids.

MrsDrink

Awwww your best bit sounds lovely Mel
I think I may change my best bit... to that moment when I first lay down in bed in about an hours time!! Heaven!

:eek::eek::eek: at my to do list! Its quite long!! Its mostly meeting up with people and confirming! I do love how ohs part of this list is very short, my part is really long- I will be making sure though he helps me with some parts mainly because I want him to have input aswell.

Melanie- glad you and oh are sorted and sounds like youve had a lovely evening.

LauraL- :j on giving out most of your invites.

My wedding dress is still not here had a message to say she is posting it tomorrow and I'm out on thursday so will probably miss the courier - so looks like it will be friday! The suspense is killing me!!

Have spend the last couple of days looking for a dress for my maid of honour/bridesmaid/best woman (feels weird to call her a maid of honour as there's only one, and feels weird to call her a bridesmaid like that's not important enough). I thought it would be easy but I'm really struggling

Fingers and toes crossed it arrives Friday for you! What is the struggle with your Best Woman dress? Is it something we can help with . . . we all love a good internet browse! Have you a colour in mind, style, length, price range?

OMG - Time is flying :eek: Some days i'm really excited its coming round so quick then other days (like today) i get a mild panic on. I haven't put together my proper 'To Do' list as i'm scared at the enormity of it. Going to have to get my head in gear and get on with it as my silly busy season is upon me at work now.

Afternoon all!!!!!!

Welcome to joewa, and great to have another wedding diet buddy! Are you having any Independence Day touches for your big day?

So I had my WI today - I didn't WI last week as I'd eaten a few chocs over Easter and didn't want to see if I'd put on any weight. Well if I did, I've lost it again - I'm still 9st 13.5lbs!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!! Defo under ten stone now, and the only way is doooowwwwnnnnn

Got an appointment with a headpiece designer this Thursday (woo) but haven't a clue what I want! Something with pearls preferably as my jewellery is pearls. Sigh! I also still can't decide on what style of veil to have!

Quick question: how far in advance should you send out your invites? Ours aren't ready yet - should be next week, is that really late?

Woo get me back online!lol


my place cards arrived yesterday. Going to ask my stepdadvif he will write them out as ge has nice handwriting and gives him a little part! Stupid question but do you put for example 'mum' or their name?

Thanks

Don't know yet, I think probably names for everyone else and then for us Bride, Groom, Mother of the Bride etc.

I have bought my (hopefully, anyway) dress this weekend :j it's off ebay so I haven't even tried it on but hopefully it fits and I love it. I love the pictures of it, anyway. it's new, still got it's tags on, but she ended up buying a different dress. will be very happy if it's perfect as I was planning to get one on the high street and would have had to spend about £200-300 there, and this is a 'proper' wedding dress and only cost me £125 :T:T

Just got to wait for it to arrive now, and hopefully that's another BIG job ticked off the list!

Wow, well done and I can't wait to see it!! PM me when it comes and I'll send you my email address xx

I'm only having one too, have been calling her my BM but MOH seems more appropriate

Hope your dress comes super quickly xx
