    I loved my dress last night! Seeing my actual wedding dress has got me so excited about the wedding now, I'm so ready to spend a lot of time planning it again.

    I have taken my shoes home to wear them in as well, and when i tried on the dress, I treid on Jewellery with it which is £60 for the necklace and don't know how much the earings are, but my mum told me on the way home last night that she will pay for the for me!

    We have came up with an idea for favours (which isn't chocolate and isn't expensive), which is exactly what we were looking, so its all good!

    AFiancee - so excited for you trying on your dress! And that's so nice of your mum to get your jewellery for you.

    Things to do this weekend - sort out our super secret entertainment and get passports sorted out or there will be no honeymoon for us!

    Well done double mummy!

    Got passports done online and photos so when the forms arrive they just need the pictures stuck on and signed.

    OH's kilt ordered. Havent sorted out entertainment though.

    You can do passports online?! So I have been carefully filling OHs in like some kind of chump?!? :rotfl: If it is online he must be able to do it! (he can't quite seem to grasp the 'you have to stay inside the boxes!'.

    Butter and eggs brought yesterday - but as we were at the Farmers market we brought some nice bread, and then of course we had to do a quality check on the butter! It is sooo GOOD! ;)

    Looking forward to starting the cake soon. :)

    Stir- I am really intrigued about your super secret entertainment! Stop with the taunting! :rotfl:

    DM- glad you had a great holiday. :) N wow in the dress sizes! :eek: wish that would happen to me! :)

    Yeah, I thought the whole process was online, but they send the completed form out to you to sign and put the photo on.

    Was speaking to OH's mother this weekend as she's baking the main cake. Originally we were going to have 2 fruit layers and a sponge layer, but we decided to have a groom's cake so I asked her just to make them all fruit, and she thought I meant that we were just having a one tier cake instead. I had to clarify that we still wanted 3 tiers, just all fruit instead.

    Would love to say Jo, because I'm rubbish at keeping secrets, but its a surprise, not even parents or other wedding party know about it. I know one of my BM's are on MSE!
