11 weeks!!!!!!!!!! OMG that is gonna fly by! We have 7 months on sunday till we fly! It seems forever away! I know it's not but it just seems it.

We felt the same. We haven't done invites for Mexico as we knew who was and wasn't coming so didnt see the point but we are having an AHR and sending invites out to that. As we have everything already we didn't want ppl to waste money on gifts (in the nicest possible way) so i've put a verse in our invites to ask for money instead.......no matter if we said we didnt want anything ppl will always buy and not want to come empty handed. We’ve been together for nine years now And we’re not alone We have two gorgeous children And a lovely family home, So please don’t be offended And please don’t think us brash But if you’re thoughts were on a gift We’d much prefer the cash! Once we’ve replaced the old with the new We can look back and say it was thanks to you! But please don’t feel you have to participate just come along and help us celebrate

ha ha you sound like me i am always on here and tripadvisor )

OMG really. No i didn't watch it i sky plused it. Nicy it is on again tonight though )...............can't wait to watch now! How exciting. You know when i got my dress the woman said that a girl had been in there and was in the short list for dont tell the bride. She picked out some dresses and told the assistant if they get through and he goes in there that they were the dresses she liked!!!!!! Wonder if it was the same couple?

Thanx Vicki. Well done you on losing half a stone! That is great! Yes take your measurements cos some weeks you maybe losing inches rather than pounds. ) With regard to the SIL it's good you have made her realise your life dont revolve around her and her plans. Maybe now she will be a bit more accommodating and think of her daughter and not herself. As for the MIL from Hell. Good for you for rising above and brushing it off. The only one that will get hurt if you let it is you. Dont let her wind you up and you have the right attitude not letting her get involved with the wedding plans. You dont need any drama in the run up especially as it's all going to plan. I can relate. I have a MIL from Hell. Who does my head in but i am trying to rise above it and definately keep her at arms length. Actually since she came round and had a go at me about MY wedding plans i avoid her at all costs. My plan now is to totally cut FI out of any dramas she causes as he cant say NO to mummy and it just ends up us having a row. So now i just try and deal with things on my own and hope she gets the message! She ruined our relationship so all she will get from me now is to be civil if and when i HAVE to see her. We can't change how ppl are so it's best to try and find a way of dealing with them instead. Sounds like you have it all under control. Good on you

Funny you say that cos i measured myself today! I've lost an inch off my bust, an inch off my waist and 1/2 an inch off my hips in the last 4 weeks. So i must be doing something right ) Just wished my hard work showed on the scales too x

Oh well only lost 1/2 a pound this week. Bit disheartened as been SO good this week. But i'll keep it up! maybe it'll catch up with me next week......sigh..... x

Yeh the booths look great. My sister tried to book us one at the other club and it turns out they have gone into administration! I'm just glad we'll have somewhere to boogie! lol And yeh i wanna be a size 8 NOW 2... ha ha

A pound is good. They say the best way to lose weight is 1lb a week and it stays off longer. It's better than putting on hun. Dont be disheartened your doing well. I feel like i've lost inches but not sure about pounds i really hope i have though cos i've worked at it this week. I will be happy with a pound. Think we've found another club to move onto after my hen day spa/meal and that is to Hustle nightclub as hearing bad things about the liquid envy clubs. So glad we've found an alternative ) time to boogie! (well not yet. In April, lol )

Weigh in tonight girls .......eeekkkk!!!!! I had better lost this week i have been SO good and exercised loads! Finger's x'd

I still need to buy presents for the BM's. I've got them earrings to wear on the day but i need something else to give. I think we are gonna do presents at our AHR so we dont have to take it all out to Mexico with us! So i have till June to buy! We've bought some starfish bottle stoppers as some favours but looking for something girlie for the girls and then the kids bits too ) I designed our AHR invites yesterday and made up a dummy copy. FI is taking it to work to see if a firm they work with can print them up for me. Normally i do all the DIY but i just haven't got the time at the mo. I thought it would sit on the side for a few months but he's took it this morning! About time he got involved lol.. if his mates do it for him you know he'll take all the credit and say "oh yeh i did the invites" when all he's really done is took a copy in and asked to get it printed, Div ha ha... He has booked us into our AHR hotel for the night on the 30th (to test run it if you like ;o) so i might suggest we go shopping that weekend and look for rings properly for me (he knows what he's having) be a good time without the kids around. As for songs i am walking down the aisle to Eva Cassidy 'songbird' not 100% on signing the register song and we'll prob walk out to 'im yours'..... 1st dance we have a couple we like. We did actually like that song ' make you feel my love' recently sung on x factor loads but our friends had that last week at their wedding. I think we will go with something more old and traditional!

Charmaine so glad things are looking up for you and your family now. You've had such a stressful time and i hope you are through the worst. Good to have you back ) x

I've just looked up our flowers and the bridesmaids are £20 each. So i think we will go with that. I need 3 then a petal bag for Scarlett. Roo - That woman is horrid! What a pathetic person she is. Acting like a child. Your better off without her. What a spiteful thing to say to you about your wedding day. B**ch!!!!! Glad things are quiet on the ex front. Maybe if you just make out to her your gonna push for custody (even though your not) she might back off a bit more... It's been quiet on my side too with the MIL. Not seen or heard from her and it's been bliss. Stress free, i love it! Mind you there is a pattern of 3wks with us and then she pops up and we are nearing not seeing her for 3wks now so i'm not holding my breath the stress will hold off much longer. The dragon will arise at some point but until then i am a happy girlie ) I have been feeling a bit more weddingy today! I have been looking at invite ideas for our AHR and writing out the wording for them and the RSVPs etc so i know it's ready for when we do/get them. Also downloaded a nice font for the placecards. Our colour printer has broke (great timing) so gonna have to pop to my sisters to print them out but at least they are sorted. We need to look into getting a DJ or singer for our AHR booked too...........so much to do!!!

I hope so Josie. I can't wait to try it on again after xmas ) With the rings, i think we are going to buy cheaper ones than we wanted for now as the budget is not happening! We are pushing it at the mo so what we've agreed is that we will buy cheaper rings and then in a yr or two when we have some money saved go out and buy more expensive ones. As everything is adding up we thought it the sensible thing to do. Plus I dont think FI will wear his all the time. He looked at a flat white gold band which was £550 but they have a similar one for £250 which is just a bit thinner. So i think he should go for the cheaper one and if in a yr or two he is wearing it constant then buy the more expensive one.... that's the plan anyway!! Love your card box Josie, it's great! Vicki your shoes are cute. I've never heard of that site but i'm sure they will be fine ) x

RINGS!!!! This is still something we have to doooooo aarrrrggghhh i wanna do it before the VAT increase

Herbie - Well done they are great!! l love em! x

Bloody hell Kerry!!!! What a bargain. I feel a bit sick knowing i've paid £1250 (was £1500 but got discount) for my dress now but it's done and there is nothing i can do but enjoy my dress ha ha. I will prob put it on daily to get the wear out of it ha ha ha x

Nicy LOVE the jewels! really cute! Fingers and toes crossed you get lucky with your dress ) xx Yah Josie! What a bonus! You did good! lol

ha ha that's how i feel. Even sitting on the loo or walking up stairs. My butt and thighs just ache! I also feel like i've lost inches. I know i put on 1/2 a pound this week at slimming world but i feel slimmer. My clothes arn't so tight and my love handles are going down to ) But we've just been down the beauty bar and gone on one of those Flabelos machines... well it was so funny. Me and mum just laughed the whole time. It was so funny. 10mins of wobbling around and a good ol laugh, just what the doctor ordered lol... Hope you get the bag josie. I know it's so annoying when someone beats you to it last minute. They sit on their stalking things! lol Congrats on booking the photographer too )

OMG i am aching!!!!! I did my workout DVD on wednesday for the first time in 2wk's and i really ache now! FI says "oh that shows it must be working" hhhhmmm tell my butt that! lol... Going on a vibro plate later at the beauty bar with mum. See what that's like! I'm gonna wobble and shake the fat off ha ha!

Oh thanks so much. That is really helpful )

Nicy i got it off ebay but it's a glitzy secrets tiara. They have great stuff on their site. Mine was £45 and i got it for £23. Showed mum today and she loves it too ) cant wait to try it all on together. Hope it all goes ok x

woo woo our TA just got back to me and as far as they are aware we can have relatives be witnesses. Thank god for that. No more Drama's from the MIL yiiipppeee!!! (my BM also said her husband was witness for his brother at the Iberostar Maya in Mexico so that put my mind at rest too)

Josie i'm sure it will be fine if they have a fan or parasol it will look equally as nice. Or you could get them a small bag to carry instead? I am going with bouquets for my 3 adult bridesmaids and a petal bag for my flower girl (daughter) Scarlett. But i dont think they are as dear at our hotel. I will check x Herbie - your site is looking great. Hollie is gorgeous porgeous!! Add more pix ) x

Love your site Kerry
