we have friends getting married abroad in May they ha ve to be in the country where they are marrying for a certain amount of time before they can marry and they have to do something over here afterwards to make sure its valid but unfortunatly i dn't know what that is!!

TillyScoutsmum · 18/08/2008 13:57

Hiya G2B - come and join in the bridal witterings. Its great

Tell us all about it. Where are you getting married ? show us your dress etc. Who's going out with you ?

MoM - spreadsheets are fab except I can see exactly how much I'm spending/will spend which is pretty scary sometimes (its not a big wedding and I don't think we're going mad - but it does all add up quickly !)

MerlinsBeard · 18/08/2008 14:03

can i be cheeky tilly?

can i see your spreadsheet?

a blank one obviously! (although i can't say i am not nosey how much you are spending)

saralou · 18/08/2008 14:16

i have a very disorganised notebook, that has loads of bits of paper in, and ripped out bits of magazines, as my organiser!! i should have spreadsheets, but i just don't have it in me to be that organised!!!

wedding must be getting nearer, i've had the first bill!!!

i had my hair trial at the weekend... ooooh it was fab! hair extensions are the best thing since sliced bread i've decided! (i've put some of the pictures on my profile!!)

MoM i love your dress... i nearly got it, but i'd already bought mine!!!!

tiara's are driving me mad! i can't look at any more!!!

saralou · 18/08/2008 14:18

oh and tsm, i love your jimmy choos!!!!

MerlinsBeard · 18/08/2008 14:19

oh hair..that's not on my list!Tiaras are though (or a headband)

is there a website i can look at?!

i think TSM is really Monica friom friends

Do you have a phone pen

IllegallyBrunette · 18/08/2008 14:21

Hi Tsm

The bride has told me the music but i've forgotten it. It begins with P, thats all I can remember lol.

Not sure if i still have a pic of the dress, will have a look.

The wedding is in a lovely posh hotel just up the road from me. I am staying overnight at the brides the night before, and then staying 1 night in the hotel too

Wow how did i miss those shoes?!! They are AMAZING!! I want them but in ivory!

IllegallyBrunette · 18/08/2008 14:25

This is the dress but ours are a dusty blue colour

This is the wedding venue

TillyScoutsmum · 18/08/2008 14:28

God - I wish I looked like Monica from Friends ... Ironically, I'm pretty useless and disorganised normally - I always forget birthdays and my house is a tip... Its just weddings where I become possessed by some kind of control freak bridezilla

You're welcome to see the spreadsheet. What's your email addy ?

Saralou - hair looks fab ! How long is your hair normally then ? Hadn't really considered extensions - they always make me think Jodie Marsh/Jordan - but those look great. Hmmm - new row required in the spreadsheet, I reckon

Stacks of tiara websites around. I'm looking to get something from here - a clip though, not a tiara

IB- was is Pachelbel's Canon in D ?? Lovely music and pretty popular. You'll glide down if it is I think you're Brum way aren't you ? (sound like a stalker now, but sure I remember seeing you on meet up threads)

my hair is a bob, just above my shoulders and very curly.. my friend is doing my hair and she said trust me! so i did... i didn't want her to take them out! apparently they will be sewn into my hair and very secure (it was all just pinned in loosely, so she could work out the amount she needed to use) on the day!

www.butterflybridesbyellie.co.uk/index.htm i've gotten my necklace from here and quite like a couple of the tiara/headbands!

IllegallyBrunette · 18/08/2008 14:57

Ohhh that sounds familiar TSM, thanks, will go look it up on you tube now.

I am in Brum yes

IllegallyBrunette · 18/08/2008 14:59

It is that i think

Will practise walking to ti tonight when the kids are in bed lol.

IllegallyBrunette · 18/08/2008 14:59

God i hope I don't cry.

You have mail MoM

IB - My friend got married at Moor Hall - its gorgeous. The dress looks lovely as well... I worry about crying as well - I nearly always cry when the bride walks down the aisle [saddo emoticon]]

Tilly- whole of my family, whole of DPs family including his aunts, cousins etc, and some of our friends are going. We're getting married in Cyprus (I know, loads of people are getting married in Cyprus this summer), and my dress is a really plain alfred angelo one with sort of ruffles down the front and ties up the back. My bridesmaid is in almost the same but hers is pool blue colour.

hughjarssss · 19/08/2008 15:09

Hi Brides2be! It's taken me ages to catch up with everyone!

Saraou - I've copied you and ordered the same wrap - its gorgeous and I couldn't resist!

I'll be having a look at that necklace site in a miute as well!

I found some shoes in next which I brought so my outfit is nearly complete - good job as there's only about three/four weeks to go (to scared to check properly!)

Any idea of small gifts we can give to our close friends? A bit like favours I suspose

teafortwo · 19/08/2008 17:16

hughjarssss - I have just realised you are on both my 'threads I am watching'.

How exciting.... Are you on every thread on Mn or do you just follow the ones I am on !!!!?????!!!!!!

hughjarssss · 19/08/2008 22:09

I'm your secret stalker T42!!

teafortwo · 19/08/2008 22:41

coooool - I was wondering who that was with the binoculars at my window last night - mystery solved - next time come through the front door - kettle is on!!!! He he he!!!

MerlinsBeard · 20/08/2008 13:46

saralou · 21/08/2008 15:55

hugh, the wrap is gorgeous!!!!!

oopsadaisyangel · 21/08/2008 16:43

Hey Ladies!! Lost the thread for a while and won't get back on to the computer till Monday but here is a quick update (if anyone is interested)

9 days to go - everything is pretty much sorted, BF has had her baby early and now fits into her dress!!, mum is driving me mad with things that she thinks I should be doing (like favours) but I'm not - oh and DP got sent to Bulgaria with his work 2 weeks ago today and won't be back till THE DAY BEFORE the wedding - meaning I've been running around like an arse for the last week trying to get everything sorted!! Had a midwifes apppointment yesterday to be told to slow down because my blood pressure is high!!

Apart from all that I can't wait!! Especially since I won't get to "see" DP till the wedding night
