Welcome Jen!

Not many weeks to go now. I'm getting nervous when I think about it!

Still need to pay the registrar, suits, cake and a few other things.

Do you think it's too late to decide I want a sweetie table?!

Its not too late, we found that its cheapest to get the sweets online (ebay and various other websites, you need to shop around), and all but the above mentioned sweets have been delivered, and all within a few days. They've arrived in good condition too. Then its just a case of getting the jars for the buffet, bags, tongs/ scoops and we're also doing labels for the sweets. I cant wait to get tucked in!

Hello ladies! I've decided to come out of hiding! Can't believe I get married 3 weeks on Saturday! I've taken tomorrow and Friday off work to go down to my parents and sort some wedding bits out... oh and it's my hen weekend :j

Most of the final payments have been paid, it's just the flowers, church, rest of my dress and DJ outstanding.

Tomorrow afternoon I have my first dress fitting (!) slightly worried as don't think I'll be able to have another fitting until just before the wedding so hope it goes OK. Then I have a spray tan which is a trial.

Friday morning going to the reception venue for my final details meeting and then heading into London for my hen weekend

Hope you are all doing well... it all feels a bit surreal to me does anyone else feel like this?

Yes! But I am getting excited now too! Just booked me n my sister in for a manicure the day before! Yay! Its the salon that the person who is doing my bridal hair owns- which I thought would be a good reminder! I have had 2 dreams that the hairdresser didn't turn up, and I was runnin around Bournemouth in my wedding dress! :rotfl: I have no idea why Bournemouth...!

I'm getting my nails done the day before too with my mum, (spray tan 2 days before) not sure if I'm getting gel nails or shellac although my nails are really short! Think I might book in for a pedicure too, not wearing open toed shoes but thinking it'll look nice on Honeymoon. I don't know whether to get waxed.. I've only really had my eyebrows waxed before! Going to pack for honeymoon next weekend as going to a wedding the weekend before ours. Need to get some more toiletries, bought all the sun creams in the spring when they were cheap though! :money:

I've been having weird wedding dreams/nightmares too... the latest one was that I hadn't tried my dress on until the day of the wedding and then it was too tight so I couldn't breathe so woke up gasping!

I ordered my cake ribbon and car ribbon last night, I feel like I'm spending all of my free time on eBay, I'll be having withdrawal symptoms after the wedding! I've printed off all the information the registrar needs for tomorrow's meeting.
Im not sure about shellac or gel for my nails either, but I was thinking of wearing blue nail varnish on my toes for the wedding (as my something blue).
Hopefully I'll be able to get craking with writing all my place cards this weekend. Its OH's hometown stag night on Saturday so I'll be able to get on with it without any disruptions.

I'm just getting normal! I don't usually have them done, n OH doesn't like anything fussy! I would just like them looking nice! I have brought nail strengthing stuff to put on them for next few weeks- don't want to break them!

I'm planning on getting waxed on the Tuesday afternoon. Trying to book it, but having problems with my phone- I have no signal at home! Just legs and underarm though- which I have had done before!
