OK, I've put my ring back on, but I am going to be *very* careful with it between now and the big day!

My excitement level has shot off the scale since the fitting this morning!!!!

The next few days will jsut fly by i'm sure!

Enjoy your spa session

MrsDrink

Evening all
I'm really undecided whether to get my ring replated/polished, it really doesn't look much different to the wedding ring.

BabyBoots

It is getting exciting, isn't it? 20 things left on my to-do list :beer: (was 19, just thought of one more .) By Sunday there should only be 9 - I've planned the jobs out day by day now!

Just booked final pre-wedding trim for Friday - usual stylist is on holiday and I have a stranger :eek: Need to emphasise I'm after a a tiny trim to get rid of any dodgy ends, and I want it as long as possible!

OH and I just worked out a final version of the table plan (plus a back up version in case the couple drop out that might) I can then print them out ready to stick this weekend

BabyBoots

MrsDrink, if it doesn't look like it needs doing, I'd say leave it.

MrsDrink

Have started collecting books (on my phone) to read on our honeymoon (or on the plane anyway).

I want something weddingy to do!!

BabyBoots

MrsD, I was just asking OH to recommend some books to me for honeymoon - I only really read on holiday!

Have you really finished all your wedding-planning? All the homeymoon stuff too? Still wedmin central here OH and I just had a 4 left-footed trundle around the kitchen - glad we picked such a short first dance:rotfl:Now back to making BM's present.

MrsDrink

What sorts of books do you like? I can recommend some

Honeymoon wise all that is left to do is pack - which I won't be doing till after the party (we don't fly until 5 days after).

MrsDrink

DIY wise there is still a few little jobs left to do. But it's all stuff that either MrD has to do, or I've got to wait on him doing his part first. (Like painting the downstairs toilet needs him to finish it off first!)

That's still a monster of a list Natalie. I don't feel ive done much this week. I'm just so tired as i'm sleeping very well. I have actual bags forming .

Hen night shopping after work tomorrow. My theme is cocktails and canap!s.

Ahhh, the spa was FAB! I had a full body mineral salt scrub, a mud wrap and a facial. Bliss!!!!!!!!

Now it's back to the grindstone, need to cut out more pics. Called to B&Q on the way home and got more wood, also went to Boots and got some body lotion for removing dry skin from my arms

I am getting sooooo excited for you Wanchai!!!

Your the first of us July regular forum brides to become a Mrs.
I'm going to miss everyone when your off on your honeymoons with your new husbands.
I still love the thought of having a husband (first time ended over 16 yrs ago, I was a child bride/fool).:rotfl:

Aw, thanks Mel! And you're not too long after me my lovely! Scary to think that I'm the first of the regulars to get hitched, I would love to defer the HM until after the 28th to stay on this thread all the time! But I will catch up with you all while on our trip :A xxx

Ask the jeweller, they sometimes do it the first time for free if it's where you bought it
