    Hiya August crew! Haven't been on here for aaaaaaaaaaaages but I'm back now! Know what you mean about stress, I remember reading posts on this forum this time last year, about ridiculous family and friends behaviour around weddings, and thinking, no, none of my lot would be so ridiculous...WRONG!

    I guess we've just got to focus on why we're getting married etc.etc. and ignore the :mad: as best we can. And also try on our dresses as much as possible:rotfl: Big love and chin up xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    :rotfl: Think everyone has a nightmare relative or even friend that has to cause drama :mad:
    People just dont get the importance of your day and how stressful it is so them being overly helpful really would help and stop us from stressing so much.o well not to long for us all now :j

    wow we all seem a bit stressed i am having family problems long story and i can see it being an atmosphere on the day!!!

    my hair is chin length so not sure how it will look

    i had my teeth whitened a month ago and it was a waste of a £100!! gutted, but heard the crest strips are really good.

    i started sunbeds last week booked in again on thurs would go out in the sun but i feel the cold really bad even when its quite hot so normally wrap up warm. how long does sunbeds take to work? first time i have used them im doing 6 mins at the mo

    hope all ok xxx

    ...

    Us too!

    It's a really sad situation & we can't do anything about it - also one of my relatives has just been diagnosed as terminally ill, even sadder & I hope they are still with us on the day, but makes us all the more determined to have a wonderfu,l loving, informal time with all our family & friends (I hope!)

    Wishing all the August couples luck & much love x

    Thanks Hollie!

    I've just found my wedding hairstyle!

    I have a kinda vintage style lace tea-dress & birdcage net veil on order - I have curly blonde bob hair so that's perfect!

    My oh had an email from a colleague saying how lovely they thought our invites were :j:jSadly they didn't RSVP at the time lol, but so nice to get some positive feedback :D

    We currently have 20 RSVP's outstanding- my invites were sent at the beginning of March, and the last of oh's went out last week. Hoping to get a few more in the next couple of weeks as I don't want to have to chase ppl for a response- it seems so rude to ignore an invitition and the thought of having to call ppl and ask if they are coming makes me cringe a bit.

    Our confetti has arrived- I haven't seen it yet but oh says it is in the biggest box he has ever seen. Either it is very over packaged or I have done a massive miscalculation of how much we want! :eek:

    Soooo I have managed to order the wrong colour confetti :o
    I have 20 boxes of orange rose petals that I have no use for :o:o
    The yellow petals, which are the ones I meant to order in the first place, have now sold out :(
    And it's non-returnable :(
