A thread for those getting married in the next couple of months if you would like to join me in my panic?

[LoveMyGirls]

I'm getting married on the 12th September.

I've tried to be really really organised so hopefully it will all run smoothly!

Anyone else want to chat to me about their weddings and hold hands together?

Bump.

I am getting married on the 29th August.

It was running so smoothly, too smoothly in fact, until sil got envolved!

Oh well i will get it back on track i am sure.

Congrats LMG

What happened with your sil?

Mine is on track I'm just worried I've bittne off a tiny bit more than I can chew!

Well we opted for a low key affair, so we decided we would just have our 2 DD & 2DS's as bridesmaids and paigeboys.

Then sil kicks off saying she wants her daughter as bridesmaid, i got my girls dresses from next, now we can't get another one in my DN size as the new catalogue is now out and not doing those dresses.

Sil said oh well you will have to get all new ones. .

Other than that its great.

I think just say no unless she wants to cover the cost?

Actually just tell her no she is a cheeky mare!

Can I join too?? I am getting married next Friday

Of course, tell all...........

Yes she is a cheeky mare, i have told her if she can get the same dress as my DD's then fine, she will be covering the cost.

Me me me!! I'm getting married tomorrow. Aaaarrrghhh! Been up since 4 when dd woke up, she went back down with a cuddle but I've been wide awake and madly tidying since. Want to go and have a shower and get dressed but OH is still in bed and won't thank me for waking him up. I'm really edgy and restless. Panicking about everything I've got to do (although in reality I haven't really got that much to do but my mind is in overdrive!)Aaarrrrghhh!

And breathe.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH How exciting!!!!

What have you got to do today chaosis?

What kind of wedding are you having?

Well, today I've got to meet my dad for breakfast (he's just landed from overseas, haven't seen him for a year), then my bro, his wife and kids are coming down. Me and my sis-in-law are getting a manicure, then we have to take loads of stuff to the venue, dinner with whole family (early as we have kids) get home generally flap around, panic and potter and that's it. I think. Need to vacuum and change bedding and stuff as well before they get here.
The wedding is at a register office and then for the reception we've taken exclusive use of a lovely pub where we're having a bbq and disco for about 100 people. Sooooo excited and nervous at the moment!

That all sounds lovely!!!!!!!!!!

At the moment the day before mine I will be checking the cake is ok, food shopping for the buffet and getting my nails done, then in the evening all my bridesmaids are staying over for a girlie but early night
