    Hi ladies and thank yu for the continued support and kind comments.

    After another day of tears and another day of abusive messages from her, I have retracted my invitation to her entirely. Her threats have seriously annoyed my dad and my dad now believes that uninviting her is the best thing to do because her behaviour on the day isn't guaranteed to be good if she can't be nice now. My dad is upset, as am I, and it absolutely was not an easy decision to make but everyone is right, this really is my day and I have to put mine and OH's feelings first. I'll be honest too, since I broke the news to her I haven't stopped smiling. I'm not happy that she isn't coming but oh the relief is like nothing I can explain!

    Anyway, I've spent the whole day chatting with my best friend and she has agreed to be my chief bridesmaid. I wanted it to be her in the first place but family loyalties dictated what I should do. My friend is absolutely thrilled and is already talking about all the stuff that we'll do when she comes over. Her husband is a serving soldier and today he's gotten official permission to wear his uniform for the ceremony and I feel sooo honoured and special now that I will never be able to explain to my friend just how much everything she is doing means to me. I'm barred from buying her drinks at the reception either but that just ain't gonna happen, not in this lifetime lol.

    I don't feel empty anymore and I'm all excited again. Went skipping round to my friend's house earlier and she knew straight away what had happened, then again she was here when my sister started with the viciousness and she saw how upset I was and is glad it's all sorted now.

    Like I said, very difficult decision to make and I really will miss my sister's presence BUT nothing is worth the pain and stress of this week, not even her. Gotta say I think I got my cajones from you lot, you all made me feel brave and strong enough to do this. Can't thank you all enough x x x

    Wa hoo, 2 and a half months!!!!!!!!!! So exciting!
    Yaaay, I finally conned a man into making a honest woman of me. Even more shocking is that I can put the words "Happily" and "Married" into the same sentence and not have life insurance on my mind when I say it ;-)
