Ooh, pretty shoes Jo! Are they comfy?

Fairly, although I am not really used to wearing heels. I can walk in them, but I have to get used to them, wear them in a bit. I will be wearing them around the house instead of my slippers! I will be having a pair of trainers for emergency use!! :rotfl:

At least they're not massively high heels. My cousin got married in 6 inch heels and ended up stomping around in them until she had to take them off after the meal because she couldnt walk in them.

Wow! 6inch heels! :eek: I couldn't even get my feet to bend that way!! :rotfl: a bride at my office has got trainers!

Ha, I was thinking trainers, but my mum is freaking out already because I decided I want red shoes and she doesnt think they'll look nice with the dress- even though the dress has red in it!

I said trainers, but my mum n sis said my dress really needs a heel as it makes your bum more perky! I could have chosen an a-line dress but no! :rotfl: I will have a pair I trainers aside for photos outside if it is raining.

Haha, maybe thats what my cousins heels were for, although I didn't notice if she was looking any perkier than usual!

Well if they were that high I would hope u would notice a difference! Think it's cos my dress is fitted to just below my bum, so (don't tell her I said this) she is right, and it does make a difference... Why are mums always right?! :rotfl:

We went to the hotel we are having our meal at and tried their 2 new puddings - well, we felt we had to!! :rotfl:

decisions about the food made and just need to adjust the document the hotel sent us, send it back, get the final price and then we will go in and pay in a couple of weeks.

Pepe has also got both his wedding shirts (from Debenhams, one is little green and blue flowers and the other is kind of little black flowers that look like they have been 'drawn') and has today bought a black brocade jacket from ebay from a company selling off hire suits. It is perfect - a long bollywood/nehru frock coat for £70.

Almost there really!!

We have had a good weekend so far.

Best Man came up and we all went suit shopping. My OH has got a lovely 3 piece suit coming from TM Lewin, using his corporate discounts it comes to around £250. I know we could get a suit cheaper, but he is planning on using the suit for work too, (its a mid grey) so it needs to be good quality. He works in a law firm where people actually notice these things! He looks fantastic in it though! Best man got his suit from M&S, he brought it as he said he needed a black suit anyway, and it wasn't expensive so we don't feel guilty about it! :rotfl:
Also just ordered 4 shirts from TM Lewin online (they didn't have the sizes in store), 2 lovely white ones for OH and BM, and the rest for his work! :rotfl: Used his corporate discount again, and quidco.... £8 cash back... oh yeah!! :j
