Which bag is it Sleep?
You know we need details!

I watch the Kardashians occasionally.
I like khloe

This will be Kim's 3rd wedding, and she's supposedly wearing a proper wedding dress...

If I was doing wedding number 3, which must be the 2nd wedding in 4? ish years... I'd just do it quietly, I'd certainly not have the nerve to wear yet another white dress.

I have a very sleepy birthday boy cuddled up next to me, holding onto my hair.

He's had a lovely day, and it's been really nice with dh being off.
He loved his presents (buzz, woody and the new scooter are his favourites)

I can't believe my baby is now 3 though Sad

Annianni · 21/03/2014 19:49

I love those khaki shoes Shop, they are so you.
And the gold look lovely on too.

Fabulous birthday bag shopping Bonsoir
And Envy at the Balenciaga discount...

Happy third birthday miniAnni!

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2014 20:25

Anni I know someone who had a third wedding - she wore a proper wedding dress... In BRIGHT RED, veil and all. You have to admire those cajones.

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 20:29

I'd like another wedding dress. A really nice one, not hurried in a one hour appointment in Browns. Well, if I didn't have to dump dh and find someone new to do it.

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2014 20:32

God I hated getting married - not for all the money in the world. Not even if Ryan Reynolds asked.

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 20:34

yeh my wedding was a bit tense. I already had the 8 month year old. Bf'ding and screaming babies make it a little less sparkly.

It would have been so much easier to order a dress from NaP.

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 20:34

year

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2014 20:42

Mine was 8mo too - think it takes the shine off a bit.

Drywhiteplease · 21/03/2014 21:03

I'd love to do it again not .......keep saying to DH we should renew our vows Grin , he's Hmm and I could wear lilac like Briget jones' mother....doves and fake flowers and one of those hideous floral arches. Loved my wedding day, a really crazy,happy day filled with love. DD tried my dress on a few months ago....fit her perfectly Shock

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 21:09

Ok I'll admit it, not again, I just wish they had NaP back then.

Have we done wedding photos yet? Wink

santamarianovella · 21/03/2014 21:16

Happy birthday mini anni,

I really liked getting married,but I would get a much cheaper wedding dress,if I had the chance to do it again, ,I can't imagine I wasted that much on a wedding dress,I only wore once,

marsha I was actually thinking the exact thing,

Drywhiteplease · 21/03/2014 21:26

My big advice for any bride to be is don't to get hung up in the little details (exact shade of burgundy/claret/Bordeaux ...... Favours that everyone forgets etc) ......years later it's the people and the party (and the dress) that you'll remember not the hideous bows on the chairs.

santamarianovella · 21/03/2014 21:36

dry you are right,the only thing I remember is how happy people were,and just enjoying their time also I was really touched by how friends family were happy for us.

Sleepwhenidie · 21/03/2014 22:04

It was a gorgeous pewter Balenciaga City Anni, but just had a cash reality check chat from DH Sad....maybe in a few months Smile. Sleepy birthday boy sounds cute!

maradesbois · 21/03/2014 22:19

blair & stokey I was getting grumpy on 5:2 fast days too, not due to pms particularly, just because I was starving which is partly why I stopped it to do my own thing.

marsha my birthday is not a big one this year, was just being greedy about the watch! Big one with a 4 in it in a few years time but trying not to think that far down the line.

santa I got a jaeger lecoultre reverso grande taille for my 30th, love a mans watch & have wanted a submariner for ages. Like the bicolour one with blue face but also Daytona in steel. Dh says Daytona is a better investment but also £££ more.

For any jewellery fans who may be interested I got a card from boodles today about a fly on the wall documentary about them which is showing on ch4 this Sunday.

Re weddings I can't say I regret the dress as was so happy with it at the time but probably not what I would choose today and its in the attic still covered in mud! Also think it may be a bit dated already, bustier style with a very fitted bodice and big skirt/train. Saying that I loved that it had no embellishment with lace/beading etc, all the focus was on the fabric and the structure. Wedding day was fab, we threw money at good food, free-flowing champagne & live music & scrimped on what mattered less like cake, flowers, dressing the church & venue etc.

maradesbois · 21/03/2014 22:21

liberty forgot to say well done on your weight loss too!

Drywhiteplease · 21/03/2014 22:32

Anni your DS sounds very sweet.
Mara that's a great classic/classy watch.

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 22:35

Mara I'm in denial.

Sleep sounds nice.

I should say that even though having my crying baby there was stressful, I loved the garden wedding style - long linen tables, simple white and fresh green flowers everywhere, good food and champagne. I also had a lot of school friends there because we did it in Aus.

AmberNectarine · 22/03/2014 07:51

Oh yeah, I had a lovely day - I just remember endless phone calls while jigging a baby in one arm, family politics and the utter trauma of baking my own cupcakes (WHY?) for the cupcake tower.

BrandyAlexander · 22/03/2014 08:19

Good grief AmberShock my wedding day was the one day that my crazy family managed to behave themselves. I was so relieved I grinned like a chimp the whole day. Even during the solemn bits the piccies show me grinning like a loonBlush

I did serious bling on my wedding day....including a swaroski and pearl tiara designed and handmade for me by basia zarzycka.

shopafrolic · 22/03/2014 08:44

On the train. Feels weird not to be meeting you guys today. :(
