I wish I was as organised as you and I'm getting married this August. As soon as I cross one thing off my list I seem to add another 3 on :eek:.

I will get there eventually.

i think the wedding disaster dreams must wear off as I had them about a month ago. I dreamt my dress had changed into purple orange and yellow tartan when I opened the dress bag to get ready :eek: (apologies if this is anyone's dream dress)!

Yeah, that's exactly the dress I have

I've had 1 dodgy dream but I was just stood at the alter doing my bit but not looking at my OH and as soon as it had finished I dashed off to check on a friend... I'm sure that would never happen, when he's around I think of nobody else

hi ya thanks everyone i know it sounds as if im really organised but everything is on note paper in my head , so they`ll probally not go into practise as easy as i think , in a few months time i`ll probally be asking for chilling out tips due to the stress of it all :rotfl: , well my plan is to do one task a month ie; make flowers ( only silk ones) pack them away ( in MIL spare room thats going to be used as a wedding store) next month make invitations (not write out but have them all made )next month table decorations ect, ect i have enough family thats really good at craft so making things will be easy and feel more personal to us , im hoping that all the crafty , fiddly bits is done by this september !!!, then book all this from september till christmas: registry office cos can only book it exactly a year before and if im down there first thing on 5th sept this year i`ll get the pick of the times for 5th sept next year , reception it has been penciled in by a family member just needs official booking , book photographer , book dj , then after xmas all i have to do is look in the sales for bridesmades dresses , my dress ,grooms suit ,pageboy suits ,and all accessories ,
we have told everyone that is going to help us organise things that we dont want anyone to stress or bicker over the arrangements we want everyone to enjoy planning it with us and have fun helping
listen me miss calm and collected who am i kidding lol , just all you remind me of this post when im tearing my hair out and ranting about how stressed i am lol, i`ll keep you all posted on the plans and put some photo`s up of the latest creations , thanks girls xx:D

Ok, so I had a dodgy wedding dream last night, kind of... Dreamt the wedding rings had come and I kept trying to put mine on with my engagement ring, to see if it fitted and how it looked... But everytime I looked down I had his ring on and it was too big (Which is bizarre cos his fingers are thinner than mine lol)
