May 2012 Brides (and Grooms) + Diary of a 2012 Bride

Olokia

Just bought an umbrella. The forecast for rain has come back (and snow the next day :eek:). The temperature has also gone down from about 17 degrees to about 5 :eek:

Oh well still another week to change and I have an umbrella so can do a few shots outside especially as there is photo that I must have.

Snow??? Good grief!

Fingers crossed the sun will make an appearance on all our wedding days!

Olokia

Yes a day like today will be great for the next month.

This time next week I will be saying my vows :eek:

ooh, I am working late tonight, and I want to go home now!! One, I'm still recovering from my hen night on Sat, and 2, my fiance just text me to say our first wedding present has arrived and I want to know what it is!!!

I have a wedding list with John Lewis so I know most of the gifts already (and people have been so generous, more than I expected!).

There is one person who bought off list and apparently it is fragile so I'm intrigued to know what it is. I hope it isn't too fragile because my cats tend to knock things over.

Hey, all the best to you May brides!!!! Any tips/words of wisdom for me about the last days before the wedding? How are you all feeling?

I've got just under 11 weeks to go

Hi Wanchai,

Ask us all tomorrow when it becomes 'our' month!
I'm 95% calm with a few niggles cropping up: when will I finish making the bouquets? Shall I add beads to my veil? Where are we going to print the Orders of Service? But apart from that, I'm enjoying the excitement, the last 2 weeks have gone so quickly, less than 4 left for me now!

MsShopper

Ooh, bride2be, that's a bit exciting! Let us know what you got!

We've had cheques in 'with regret' cards from two evening guests who can't make it. I was a bit taken aback at that! Now I'm left with the dilemma: send them thank you cards now, or after the wedding/honeymoon (mid June)? Hmm, I guess we should probably send them now...

Wanchai, not sure I have much wisdom for you, except the more you can clear off your list earlier, the better. The last few weeks have zipped by (mainly thanks to work getting crazy) and I got quite behind with our 'to do' list. We only just gave notice and ordered our wedding rings last week, with a month to go!

Aside from that, just try to take time out from the wedding planning mayhem and have some quality wedding-free time with your OH. It can all get a little bit intense at times!

I can almost feel the excitement from you ladies

MsShopper

Not sure if it's excitement just yet, or nerves!
