July 2012 Brides and Grooms

BabyBoots

Smithkinson - I thnk you need the real gurus - FutureCooper and Silaqui - to answer your make up questions! I can recommend Rimmel's felt tip style liquid eyeliner, which I use and at about a fiver is a lot less than the bobbi brown one! Also Loreal perfection mascara is very good - no bits and no spideriness or flaking (suitable for sensitive eyes/contact lenses).

Glad your BM dresses are sorted Stokie Becks.

Well done on yet more DIY Mrs Drink :T- are you getting muscly yet?

Post hen-do sunday lunch today with my BMs and future husband - 4 weeks today - yay! Also first lie in for about 3 weeks - 8 hours - bliss! This blushing bride could do with some beauty sleep in the next few weeks - and the only way to get that is to crack on with the to-do list. This afternoon's job will be making the bridesmaid gifts - really time consuming, but it'll be worth it

Did you mean me?

I'm not worried about our music, it's all fine content wise, but we have asked for one 'off book' reading which has to be approved (they gave us a book with 25 readings in to choose from, and they were all pants) but I think that will be fine too, and we've asked to do a ring warming ceremony which is the part I think they may not like - not that there's anything wrong with it but still!

OH so that's what a modesty panel is! That makes total sense now I just have a zip so haven't had to learn that term :cool:

Me too! And buttons over the zip, I SO wanted buttons so am thrilled with them

Hope that your stuff is approved xxx

Oh, I was randomly thinking earlier, because I was a bit of a latecomer I missed the early getting to know you posts I guess.. so I'm interested.. here's some questions if anyone fancies answering

When did you get engaged? (tell me the story if you want!!)
How long have you been planning the wedding?
Any special reasons for any of the things (place, date, theme, anything!) you've picked?
Are you getting married in a church or register office or venue?

anything else you want to add, go for it but I was wondering about these things earlier.. like how many others are having a register office wedding.

We got engaged on 10 July 2011 after 5 years and 4 months together... only a year-long engagement though eek!
Special reason for the ceremony venue - I would never have considered getting married anywhere but in the church at home. It's where I was baptised, confirmed etc and it's just - well, home.
Special reason for the reception venue - um, none really lol. It's not our first choice or anything, it's just pretty, can hold all out guests and is reasonably priced.

What about you? xx

Oh didn't say - we went out for a work's do last night - I trialed my make up and a quick version of my hair. Thought i'd test their longevity. both lasted really well. Even my lips stayed put (lots of drinking - squash lol). Very pleased - AND I was complimented on my make up Bring it on lol

Hurrah Natalie! Glad to hear that both stayed put, that's fab. :j


SKS - I can recommend Lancome Absolue mascara xx

Emma, how did the hen party go? I had a couple of pals round last night but stuck to fizzy water while they were getting stuck into wine... feel so proud of myself!!! :A


Right, off to get some bits sorted before OH gets up!!! Then off to our e-shoot this afternoon - hurrah!

MrsDrink

Have fun with your e-shoot Wanchai Hope to see piccies!!

wanchai_2

Oh, there will be pics!

I CANNOT WAIT.

Just spent a nice half hour stamping our sweet labels (not labelling them individually, just stamped 'eat me' on each one with the date on the back). Have posted a pic on FB. Next: stamp the sweet menu, which will sit beside the jars.

MrsDrink

I've just placed an Asda shop for the remaining of the freezer foods for the buffet, and another order for the fresh food for the BBQ - gulp - it's getting very close now!!

wanchai_2

It sure is!!! Only 20 days for us and 23 for you!

Just posted a pic of my sweet menu on FB, let me know what you think xx

MrsDrink

I keep thinking about posting our list with the 'number of sleeps' next to each name... but not sure whether that'd freak us all out ha!

wanchai_2

Oh God!!! OK then, do it and we'll all have a collective freak out lol.

MrsDrink

So if you don't want to freak out - close your eyes NOW!
