Fab Cup! Horse riding in the sun has a real air of glamour (I'm envisioning you galloping through beautiful green fields full of wild flowers!)

Hope everyone has a good week. xxx

Nwn I sit and imagine the exact same thing every week! Maybe we need to wish harder!

Lovely cup :) I used to love riding, not been for years.

I've just had my wedding hair trial and it looked lovely :) on the home sttch now 5 more sleeps and I'll be mrs song!

"I'm envisioning you galloping through beautiful green fields full of wild flowers!"

actually we plod along the lanes, risking trot occasionally (but when my legs start to wobble we go back down to a very slow walk )

OMG Song not long now!!! Are you having your hair up or down?

Lol SBKS - perhaps we actually need to get up off our arses, stop imagining and actually do something! 5 days - mega-exciting...hope you're going to be updating this thread as you're going down the aisle!

Cup - I am mortified! Have just read back my hastily written post earlier and cannot believe i made up a word!!!! ENVISIONING???? What the !^& is that? I meant to write 'envisaging'!

I thought "envisioning" is a word. Isn't it the action form of "envision"?

I could be wrong.

Sorry for falling off thread again. Had a crap weekend. Won't bore you with details.

Song, I'm so pleased for you that your dress fits and your hair trial went well :) :) :)
Pre-wedding days are such a happy time (((((HUG))))))

I think envisioning is a word too.....will have a looksy (not a word haha) in the online dictionary in a momento.

My hair is curled and up....there will be pics on fb I'm not having a tiara...seemed a bit much....but I do have a pretty hair comb and a veil.

I will update the thread right before going down the aisle (2pm) and when I'm back up the aisle and on way to reception :)

Nwn I think you're right about us having to actually DO something about the skating but it just seems like such a lot of hard work hopes I wake up tomorrow able to skate

Envisioning is indeed a real word...it is a noun :)

Thanks SBKS...erm...I knew that really.

Hairdo sounds pretty - can't wait to see photos.

WELCOME BACK JACKS!! Sorry your weekend's been crap. We're happy to hear about it if you do want to tell, but if you want to just move on and away from it then that's fine too.

I'm having seating plan nightmares. Two people aren't coming anymore and they were sat on the table with the fewest people and it's made it too small and I can't fix it

If I did a 'sit where you want' plan would I have the exact number of seats or a few extra? I ask because at the moment most tables have 9 people on and I don't want it to end up where couples have to sit separately because all the odd number family sit together. Don't know if I'm making any sense at all. Can't believe I'm only now having something to stress about.

Can you take a couple of singles off other tables to bolster the numbers on the small table Song?

I've been looking at the price of wedding rings this morning, its very confusing. I've been waiting weeks for DP to sort them out but tbh hell could freeze over before he gets round to it grrrr

That was my thoughts too cup but the singles are currently sat with their family ie mum,dad and one adult child. They also don't know the people on the small table or each other.I might just do that anyway though my brain is frazzled.

We got our wedding rings (and my engagement ring) off diamond heaven website. It is a jewellers based in Birmingham and saved us an absolute fortune. Got the rings quickly too. I know loads of people that use them, if you email customer service and ask if it's the best possible price they knock a bit more off too.

Also, get your finger measured again for your wedding band because they're sized differently...I think you go up a size.

What kind of ring are you wanting? Mine is 18ct yellow gold knife edge-the only kind that will sit neatly against my engagement ring, and dp has 9ct (recommended for men as harder wearing) white gold but I forget what shape he has.

Have fun trying lots on :)

If it was me Song I'd much rather be on a rowdy table of singlys than with my mum and dad

I don't really know where to start with the rings, as DP doesn't even know what metal my engagement ring is . I'm presuming its 18ct white gold, but after looking on the website (thanks for that!) I think we'll have to find some time to go and try some rings on, as I've no idea what style will go with my engagement ring, or what thickness etc etc....

DP's lack of organisation is driving me NUTS at the moment.

Thanks for the tips

No problemo :)

Song, I think I posted this on FB too but we didn't have a seating plan, we let people sit where they wanted and it was fab. Nothing but positive feedback.
I think we had a few empty seats but I don't remember that there were many.
Personally, I always loathe assigned seating. I'd rather sit with people I know rather than where it's convenient for someone to stash me IYSWIM.

I'll be so excited to see pictures :):):)

Thanks all for thinking of me. Things are ok - it's just that I get easily stressed out. And I found out something odd last year when things were very bad - I feel like I'm suddenly incapable of talking about what it is that stresses me out. So I withdraw, both in RL and on MN. I'm trying to work on that. Thanks for all your lovely thoughts.

Thanks jacks :)

We are here if you want to talk about it. Xx

Oh yes Song we definitely need pictures!

DM (orDWeddingPlanner as she now is ) and I are falling out over whether we need a seating plan atm. Guess who thinks we do, and who can't be bothered to organise one?

I'm sooooooo bored of ttc too tonight. Why can't I just be knocked up already

I'm going to make a - anyone want?

well I thought it was going to be exciting, but its not, its just shit!!

7 cycles now and not so much as a sniff of a bfp. In fact, I haven't even poas yet! Its totally rubbish and boring

As Song said, we're here if you do want to chat Jacks.

Cup - please excuse complete and utter ignorance, but what are bfp's and 'poas's?

Just sitting here waiting for tomorrow's batch of homework to print out and then off to snuggly bed. I really do love bed. I would almost go so far as to say that one day I would love hubbie to completely look after number one and number three and me to stay in bed the WHOLE day. Hmmmmmm.

Anyway, back to reality.

Night night all!!

BFP - big fat positive (pregnancy test)
POAS - pee on a stick

Oh Cup :(
I didn't know it had been that long. That is a bit depressing :(

yeah its kind of crept up on me a bit. I'm trying not to worry and DP thinks I'm being neurotic so I am trying to just get to August (after the wedding) then DP has agreed to see the doctor.

I got a text from DP in the middle of the night last night. It has depressed me a little bit really. It was very nice and loving, but he's worried about me in the bedroom. Actually its made me feel a bit shit. I've been a bit selfish and lazy

Thank God for this thread, there's no way I would tell anyone this stuff in rl!!!

I was so confused by poas!

I am abandoning the seating plan. I'm having a table reserved for my friends so they all get to sit together and I'm putting the best man and his wife together on the table nearest ours and everyone else can sit where they like :) ....dp doesn't know this yet....fingers crossed he's ok with it otherwise he can sort the flaming seating plan out.

Loads and loads of people have dropped out last minute so our numbers are 50 adults for day and some of them are leaving early with young children leaving us with about 40 evening guests! I could cry. All of dp's work friends (which took our numbers up to about 60) have said they don't know if they're coming so we think they're not, and his normal friends are all working away, it is a disaster.dp is so upset bless him.I'm stressing now, but that's not too bad seeing how I haven't stressed at all till now.

Please tell me it will be ok with so few people at the night do. I am dreading it. I think I'll feel silly in my big posh frock in front of next to no one :(

Aww cup (((hugs))) try not to worry

Have you text him back??

Song thats shit - I find this all the time, people just seem to be so ungrateful when they are invited somewhere

Its not a disaster though - stuff the people that have dropped out, at least that leaves you free to chat to your proper friends all day. It'll be wonderful - fewer people you hardly know to get hammered and spill wine on you, or fall out with their partners and all the other bad behaviour you see at weddings.... It'll be more intimate, and that's lovely....

I texted DP back straight away, I said he was right, and I hadn't really been thinking about it, and I was sorry he had been worrying and that we could have a proper chat about it tomorrow when I see him. He's so patient and sweet and sometimes I get so pissy with him over little things like being organised and tidy. I feel like a right cow

Intimate is a good word for it! Much more positive thanks cup :)

You aren't a cow...cows can't type :)

Have a good chat with him and explain how you're feeling. ttc is such a stressful time when it doesn't happen straight away.
