I am meeting with the seamstress in an hour n 20 mins. :j :j :j
Will let you all know how it goes! (ok I realise that you are probably not that interested, but you are hearing all about it anyway!)

I'm totally interested, that's why I'm lurking in this thread!

But I got there exactly on time, so I am all ok. AND she said she will be able to do what I wanted!

I can keep my buttons, as she will let out some of the seam, and moving the buttons will even be a last resort! :j:j

I have booked it in for August 15th, so that is my final deadline for any weight loss / toning. I did leave my bolero with her thou, she is going to add sleeves to it (down to elbow) so is looking for matching material. There may be a very MSE thing with the lace, but I wont tell anyone until its confirmed incase I jinx it!)

:T

Ah, so is she altering a dress for you? Exciting! Hope it all goes well

He he thanks RainbowDrops! yeah, needs to be taken up an let out. I mentioned that you ha recommend her, and she said that you were basically the 'face' of her work. I didn't realise that was you in the corset pic- your waist is TINY! Very jealous! :rotfl:

So NoAngel... Did you manage to get the bits sorted?! We didn't actually do much, but I finally got OH to enquire about his godfathers partners surname, and we finalised and found our ceremony music. We weren't sure on our recessional music. We had 'married life' from Up, but it was basically that we couldn't find anything else we liked. We wanted it to be instrumental, and not a version of a pop song etc.
Soo ... (we r not tellin anyone, but I will tell you guys) We are having 'So long an thanks for all the fish!" from hg2tg. :rotfl: there is a version in the movie without the words, and without context it is a lovely happy piece of music.
But of course I know he words, and can't stop grinning when it comes on!

Honestly, that corset took about 5 inches of my waist! I nearly passed out a few times during the shoot, and my body felt mangled for the rest of the day :rotfl:

I'm so jealous, am I the onnly one who hasn't given notice yet? We're not allowed to give notice until 3 months before the wedding

Are you Scotland Stir? I have had heard that about somewhere... And yes, I have given mine- in November! Really glad we did it then, would be a bit difficult to organise now!
We are meeting with our registrars in June to go through music and readings etc.
I also booked my hair trial today for August.

And I got a bag today from New Look (look at me being all :money: ) The colour matches my dress pretty perfectly!

We haven't given ours yet either.I had to get a replacement birth certificate and we did get the form but haven't sent it back yet.Also need to meet the priest and have the pre-nuptial enquiry

Yep, I'm in Scotland, although I wasn't sure if that was just the area I'm from or the every city in Scotland. Hmm, need to make sure that OH still has his birth certificate.
