August 2012 Brides and Grooms

Crowdpleaser

Oooh exciting for your hair trial! I had mine and the make up yesterday! I didnt look like me! LOL!

Well, had major melt down last week or so about the fact we have 6 weeks to go today and so much still to do. Anyway, mass ebay sesh and I feel like Im getting there again.

Got all the bits for my toiletries baskets (good old poundland) and am making headway on my centrepieces over next few days.

Downside of all the stress is that I suffer from chronic ibs which is aggravated by stress and nerves and its going through the roof at the mo, leaving me housebound some days Its rubbish.

Hey ho, onwards and upwards...

Hows everyone else getting on?

Awww crowdpleaser hugs, my friend suffers to so know somat what you are going through.
good old ebay, i love it.we found out from the meeting with the hotel last week that we arnt allowed candles on the evening grrr annoyed because i asked her when we had our first meeting and she said yes u can i even said i know some venues dont allow it, still she said nothing, so we spent money on thoses 8hr tea lights and now they wont get used so now to spend £30 on some LED ones!

In our package we get the ceremony room,and the use of two other rooms one of which we will use for the wedding breakfast and the other for the evening do as it has its own bar.we asked at the time if we could have the ceremony room for the morning after for us and all our guests to have breakfast together as we arnt using it on the day as we have a church wedding, she said yes i can sort it, again i mentioned it at the meeting and she said there will be a hire charge, OH said u never said it before, she claimed nothing had been said and she would check her emails, despite telling her 3 times it wasnt through email it was face to face it was said she said she would check her notes as she does note things down, well surpires surprise we havent heard a peep from her since the meeting last fri. Slightly annoyed we we have paid a package price, not only that there are 14 other rooms booked along with more to come and thats just our guests and then all the cash they will take at the bar.

Can I ask what you are having as your first dance song? I was thinking Ed Sheeran (kiss me) or Eric Clapton (wonderful tonight)
The band will learn 2 new songs for us so I really need to make up my mind to allow them enough time to practise!!

Hi all!

Not long to go now! Had so many problems over the last few weeks, my maid of honour (younger sister) has decided to lie to me over the last 8 weeks saying her dress still fits fine, when in actual fact it is now WAY to small for her.... saturday i got a call saying her and my mum have gone out and bought a new one (which is completely different to the other bridesmaids!)
I had the same problem with my other younger sister (14 years old) about 3 months ago, so went and bought another dress and was hoping that it would look like the younger one would have a different dress and the older ones will match, but now i have 3 bridesmaids with 3 DIFFERENT DRESSES!
So now i am going to have to buy the other bridesmaid a dress to match my sisters.
I think i was more hurt that they all went behind my back and didnt tell me and just expected me to be okay with all 3 bridesmaids looking different when they all knew i wanted them to match as much as possible!
Also having problems with people who are not invited to day and only to the evening ( this is only because we cannot simply afford everyone to come to the ceremony and the breakfast) and are saving our speeches and cutting of the cake untill the evening so all our friends and family can be there together- some people are just so horrible and i am starting to dread the day as i feel me and my OH are trying to me everyone else as happy as possible rather than trying to enjoy it myself

The main problem is my blood father (of whom i have not really seen/spoke to in over 14 years) is telling everyone on his side of the family if they come to my wedding they will never see him or his children ( my brothers and sisters) again! why are people so mean all the time!

Feeling so stressed with everything just want to scream and run away
