Hey hun, how are you getting on?

i went and tried my dress on again yest and ordered it :) will be ready July/aug time but wont be able to try it on again until october (hopefully!!!)

We can't go much further until we know wat happens with james' training tbh. If he passes the next big test in a few weeks we were gonna start looking at places, then once he's (hopefully) passed out in july book everything up (maybe before actually)

We will be having our 'wedding' on December 18th, but this may be vow renewals/blessing and a christening for a baby followed by a weddin like party (with me in my dress!!) coz we may do the legal bit in july/aug time to sort MQs before the birth and so i can have my married name on the baby's birth certificate lol. bt things are abit up in the air atm with james' training...so yeah not much further.

oh except I think i might change the theme to midnight blue for the bridesmaids, goes with my dress and james' uniform xxx

4 months-ish :)

I've got...

Dress, flowers, cake, venue, register office, hair, OH's outfit (number 1s! :D), car, DJ, rings, food, favours etc all sorted out so far :)

Need to:

Book honeymoon (disneyland yay!!!!!!), sort out passport, get bridesmaid dresses done, sort out invitations, decorations, and sort out the chocolate fountain :)

hey ladies

well i have 4 months ish (?)

my theme for the bridesmaids and the reception is midnight blue white and silver :D

What have i done? thats a good question.

My dress, bridesmaids dresses, MOH dress and page boy outfits all ordered. james and the groomsmen are all in ceremonial garb.... so thats easy :D
invites done and sent, and almost got all of the rsvps...just chasing some stragglers!
tiara done and deciding on the veil at the moment.

honeymoon we wont decide until near or after the wedding depending on finances. ive decided on flowergirl but not bought them yet, and decided about the cake, photo, makeup, venues, hair all booked.... bought all the female attendees presents and got ideas for the boys!
ummmm,,,, what else is there

really need to book the cars, we've chosen them just need to actually pay them and put the deposits down!!!!!

um um um..... probbaly loads else but its all on my wedding spreadsheet (yes i am that sad )

i reckon we are about half to three qtrs the way there, just restricted with what we can do with finances and all!

i cant wait tho im so excited about it!!!!!!!!

Well I finally chose my dress this weekend!!! Still have to sort out the bridesmaids, but if we can't find anything in the shops, the bridal shop will make them :D

Considering I only have 4 months to get the finer details sorted (cake/place cards/table arrangements/balloons/evening buffet etc), I am soooooo laid back about it all lol :p think it's because OH is away, and I can't run stuff past him, add to that I am stressed oiut to hell with work, I just don't have the energy to do anything when I get home :(

Hows everybody else getting on??

xx

We have decided not to go with the caricaturist as for the number of guests it just wouldnt be worthwhile, and i have ordered the sand for my table decorations.
