your just scary, i want the leanne rhymes one too

It was a choice between that and I Need You from the same album. Its the first album I bought OH after we got together.

First dance is Amazed as it was the song playing on both our radios as we drove off in opposite directions after our first date - that was really scary!

That was the occasion when he asked me to look after his mobile and check if he had received a text from his (separated) wife. Barmaids face was a picture :rotfl:

Not a patch on his son telling the checkout woman in Asda that his dad was a cross dresser :rotfl:

Do you think I should be worried? Son is giving me away and making a speech

during one bleary eyed morning i gave my youngest son my eldest sons boxers to put one, to which he promptly started moaning till i changed them, to which i replied its ok dad shares my underwear all the time (can i just add so not true) but my youngest fount it highly hilarous and promptly went and told all his teachers, (i wonder why my OH doesnt pick the kids up now)

Kids are great aren't they... I was doing a quick work out this morning and one of the exercises is lying on your back on the floor with your legs in the air and raising your head to meet your knees... I'm rolling around like a deformed beetle... My little one pipes up 'Mom, you're too fat to do that one' She's not wrong...

I think I'm having the tiniest wedding of them all!

Dress - see post on Ebay dresses, but basically sorted
Tiara - in process of checking
veil - same
shoes - same
grooms outfit - going next week to sort out with his best man
kids outfits - present from Nanna
venue - sorted and paid for
food - self catered buffet, so just finalising numbers, then working out how much stuff to buy
Rings - ordered (Argos - well in 10 years time it won;t matter where they came from, just that they still have the meaning)
hall decorations - helium cannisters from asda, balloons and artificial flowers from local stores, all sorted
Cake - Nanna making as a gift

So basically just need a DJ, buy the decorations, food for buffet and finalise the outfits. DJ is giving us most headaches - wanted a personal recommendation so we don;t end up with 'Uncle Marv' and his amazing mobile disco.

But the way I see it - the important bit is happening in the morning, and once we say I Do then the rest is icing. Friends won't mind if something goes wrong, or the cake doesn't match my shoes. So I'm not stressing - letting MIL do that for me lol
