helllooooeeee

sorry i've been awol recently.
i had a productive day yesterday.
we paid off the ceremony fees at the registry office then went in to EVERY jewllers in our town and ended up in a pawnbrokers as OH couldnt find anything he like for the right price. thankfully we walked in and it was just sat there in front of us. a 2nd hand perfect sized ring that OH loved and an absolute steal too!!

mine was easy. it was the first one i saw in the 2nd shop window! i have been researching for months so i know what i like and dont like so it wasnt an impulse buy!!
i've also paid off the last of the chaircover hire (yay!)

i also got hold of the venue to get prices for corkage / them supplying wine. which has resulted in us deciding to supply our own at a much cheaper price just so i can have the wine i really like (which happens to be supper cheap in tesco atm!!) and my mum is coming over tomorrow to taste test some red wines (bleugh) to let me know her recommendation on that - most of my family are red wine drinkers i'm just the odd one out!

also my bridesmaids are coming over tomorrow so i can finally introduce them to each other

productiveness!! woop woop!!

hope everyone elses plans are going as swimmingly as mine?

Lisajane its a good idea,dont forget the gel pads there a godsend in shoes with heels,i wouldnt be without mine

Crowdpleaser,well done but thats a big relief now that one of the big things are done,grrr about the ring though,sure it will be perfect when u get it back though

Kacy u have been busy,we was supposed to pick our rings up tonight but the wrong ones had been delivered so will be the weekend now,cant wait though to try it on.
Im not a fan of red wine either,rose for me all the time,specially if its sparkling

We gave notice today! OMG I was so nervous lol! Saw the room we will marry in as well, its small but lovely and she made my day by saying we can have certain music for certain bits of the ceremony (all the gumpf says you cant, she said ignore it lol). It feels very real now! Would it be bad to trundle in during the week to look at the board that our notice is on? LOL xxx

Well..... this weekend I was chasing after the men in the wedding party for sizes so I could take advantage of the 20% discount on the BHS website.
That's now sorted just need it to arrive and then we can have a trying on session.
My dress and shoes were ordered too .
Been enquiring about cup cakes and my daughter has started making enquiries for my Hen do. We are looking at hiring a stretch hummer to take a group of us to Blackpool to see Funny Girls :rotfl:

Does anyone have wording templates for the invite inserts?
My hen do was a surprise for me but one of my BMs let it slip last night. I never said anything to her when she let it slip so hopefully she thinks I didn't notice lol!
Honeymoon booked as well - well flights anyway.
My dress was ordered in June but still hasnt arrived so I need to keep the pressure on the shop!
It's all go :j

stassy23
