LilDevil's Wedding Diary

This is scary - not only have you been looking at the first dress I liked but i was also going to have those bridesmaids dresses until OH insisted that all 3 wear the same dress.:mad:

They don't go up to age 19 so were no good. And i'm not allowed blue for some obscure reason

Happy with what I have decided on now even though they were all more expensive than my dress and they won't here until beginning of July!

Very scary! If I didn't already have a twin, I'd say you were my long lost twin!!

OH is happy enough with blue :T as we both support Oxford Utd :rotfl: was gonna have pale yellow flowers!!

Lol - thought I was unique am sure my mother would hope so!

Thought I would be ok with blue as OH supports Rangers. Green was definitely out although his brother would have been over the moon. Football is a banned subject when they get together :rotfl:

We are having amethyst now as a compromise!

That sounds a bit like the wheelie bins in Liverpool.....obviously they couldn't be blue or red (imagine if you got the wrong colour :eek:) so they are ...purple!

Fourth time of trying (I've copied and pasted into word and back, so I hope the links work!!).....

Things are going swimmingly (apart from trying to post on here :rotfl: ), OH has finally asked his mate to be Best Man and he said yes (OH was too scared to ask him in case he said no!!)

Dresses have been decided and will be ordered in January:

There are numerous variations on these in H Samuels and Argos as well - I prefer the top two tho!

I should've also said, this would be the height of hilarity amongst his friends as they are all posties!!

I'm gonna see how finances are a couple of months before the wedding and if I can afford it, I'll buy it as a surprise for him!!

LilDevil

Also forgot to mention, I've also bought:

24x champagne wedding bubbles (£6.50ish)
100x pale blue organza bags (£5.00ish)

Although these are technically £0 as I bought them from Ebay using funds in my paypal account - plus did it via Quidco, so will get a small amount of cash back!!

Couldn't open the dress links

Love the fob watches. We're planning the same for FOB and BM (who is also FOG lol) We've found a website for a company in Birmingham's jewellry quarter who do engraving and silver boxes, coloured pouches etc, will try and find a link later when I don't have a 4yo hassling me for the computer lol. We've ordered a couple of gifts for my brother and his sisters to see the quality before we commit ourselves to the big things though...
