OMG 9:45am!!!!!!!! What time will you be up???

smithkinson

OMG wanchai - now my list is even longer after seeing and pinching your list!!! argh!!

9:45 is EARLY I know. It sucks!! that's what you get for relatively last minute (4 months in advance) planning. It was the only time slot left on the one day of the whole summer when all of our most important family and friends were all available at the same time so it had to be that one! I'm having my hair blow dried the night before, then my mum is going to curl it in the morning while I do my makeup and then throw the dress on and go! (plus getting DD ready on top of it all - eek) I guess we will have to get up at 7am ish?

I don't envy you the 9.45 ceremony, smithkinson. I'm starting out on the day from half an hour away, and I wouldn't think I'll be ready to roll much before 1.30pm!:rotfl:

Wanchai, I give up, what on earth can the emergancy chalk be for?

Our ceremony is 3pm so think that's a good time.

I am truly excited now

smithkinson

... ok, now I'm up to 42 items!! :eek: I want to say keep the to do lists coming ladies, but at the same time.. :eek: :rotfl:

We live a good half an hour from the ceremony/reception venues so we are all staying in a hotel 10 minutes away for the two days. No way could I have made it on time from home. I am ALWAYS late for EVERYTHING. I'm actually tempted to have a practice run at getting completely ready one weekend to time myself, I'm that bad :rotfl:

The last hour on this thread has certainly given me a kick up the bum! I thought I had most things done and hardly anything left to do. I was wrong!! I think I need to keep in mind that I have a toddler to look after at the same time as getting tasks done so I don't actually have all the time in the world!!

Tonight's tasks:
- measure OH and order his clothes. this is long overdue!
- get him to have a browse online for rings - any recommendations of where to buy? I'm sure online will be cheaper than high street.
- set up a shared document to start making a playlist on

I can do this!! :j:j

I got my rings from mymoment_uk off ebay but we bought as a matching set so don't know if they do individual ones
