    I cant bring myself to read through the thread, I feel so behind so i havent been on here for ages, it makes me nervous everytime I come on it!! So just wanted to say hi to everyone - HI!! :D and hope all is going well for everyone.

    Right, off to make an uptodate to do list ;)

    morning girls!

    As for bra stuff...Im wearing a strapless one. But for the reason that katie mentioned. On family wedding videos etc all you see is the bride rearranging her dress lol, and thats what id be doing if i didnt wear one LOL. I ALWAYS wear one...been known to sleep in them too LOL Id feel too 'bare' without one which would mean me constantly pulling my dress up to make sure they didnt fall out ha ha.

    Plus doing a little bit of wedding photography ive seen many of those mishaps....(not photographed this myself but its something we are all aware of) LOL

    Desserts....we are having a dessert table that will be available all day for people to pick at. Mixture of dessert stuff like brownies/muffins to chocolate and sweets :)

    Hope everyone enjoyed their hen nights?!?

    Well I did that thing I said I didnt want to do...got gifts that were abit obvious ha ha
    Got the best man a personalized beer glass about fishing with his name on it (will get him some beers too!)
    the ushers personalized beer glasses with a bottle of beer in a giftbox, and ive decided to give them the animal chocolates lol

    Ive acquired another bridesmaid! ha ha As one of mine is pregnant she will no longer fit in the dress so has bought a nice purple maternity one. So one of my friends has stepped in to wear the original dress :)

    the new one and the pregnant one are big 'Labyrinth' fans, so went on truffle shuffle.com and got them a labyrinth t-shirt each.

    The other bridesmaid I got her a blingy 'L' keyring from debenhams and just need to find something else.

    Not sure what to get parents yet!

    Still feel like im in over my head with the rest of the planning! And OH hasnt written his speech yet :( hes struggling!

    I need more time!

    Urgh, I can't decide whether I want chair covers or not...I'm buying them second hand off of ebay so I can sell them on again, but everyone that I bid on at the last minute, end up going for stupid amounts of money. :( These are the venues chairs. Do you think they need covers?

    I still can't decide what to get the Bridesmaids for a present. Or even my girls for that matter. :( I've seen these and they do like rockabilly stuff, but I dunno if it's too cheap looking for a present? Also do I get presents for the Parents? My parents have lent us the money to pay the venue (which we're paying them back) but also are paying for bridesmaids and my dress alterations which is nice of them :) whereas OH parents haven't seen us since Feb/March time (they live closer than my parents who we see each weekend) and haven't offered anything, even to find out if anything needs their help with. grrrr, MIL2B's.

    On the weight front, I still have to lose a stone as I just keep putting weight on :( (no i'm not pregnant thankfully :rotfl: ) But daily Zumba should sort that out hopefully, plus no sweets, chocolate til the wedding :( Finding it so hard. :rotfl:
