Hi everyone, I'm on the 5th so really not long to go. I am really sorry I haven't posted much, I have had so much to do and if I'm honest this post scares me! All the things people have done and I haven't got round to doing yet lol!!

Have finally booked the car (2 exec taxis for £60, much better than the original quotes of £400+)
Sorting out the final bits now, going to stay with the MIL this weekend (she is near the venue) to finalise numbers with the venue, see the florist etc.

Think I might have my shoes sorted (now own 5 pairs!!, all from ebay though)

Got budget versions of the personalised hangers, about 3/4 quid, not very MSE but think everyone will like them.

Lots more to do, not very much time to do it in!!

Hope everyone is doing ok and things are working out. I will def come on here once back from honeymoon and support others/post ideas etc as hopefully will have more headspace then x

Hi nightsky

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has struggled to find the right shoes

I've also tried to unplug from reading too much about weddings, etc online as it can mess with your head a bit!

Sounds like you're getting on well though, so good luck!

Wow you are doing really well. Re rings no ideas re places to go but my top tip would be to negotiate, we saved loads on our rings.

My wedding is on Sat so I'm signing off for now. Everyone have wonderful weddings you will all look beautiful and it will be fantastic x

We've had sine June and I though that was quick!

We are mostly sorted for Saturday, just a have slight issue with the women who has taken over as the events manager at the hotel. She seems unable to read an email and has asked us 3 times how we want the wine split...despite us giving it to her on the bottom of the table plan and telling her this twice!! OH is phoning her tomorrow (he tried to phone today but apparently she only works 9 -2). She also forgot what coloured napkins we wanted despite writing it down when we went to pay! TBH if she had been working there when we had been looking we wouldn't have booked there!

Oh well I am sure it'll be fine! Just need to stop stressing!!

Good luck everyone else getting married this week and enjoy your day :beer:

It's almost mid way through the month so I hope that everyone who has had their wedding had an AMAZING time and good luck to everyone whose wedding is still to come!

Still just over two weeks for me :whistle:

Oh my god!
I can't believe in two weeks time it will all be over and I'll be on honeymoon. Everything is moving so fast and work is so completely hideous that I am not able to enjoy the run up as much as I hoped I would. Hope everyone has had the most amazing day and all the very best to everyone in the next couple of weeks xx

That's it all over!....how do I post pictures??

Congratulations to everyone who has already been married, and best of luck to those still waiting! Xx
