I found a website that has the bottle stoppers and the starfish that wants only $18 shipping! So I ordered the starfish Starfish Bouquet Jewelry - 3 colors Andddd a fuschia and orange garter to go with my wedding colours woop Darling Duo Fuchsia/Orange Garter Also great Idea to get a list going of UK brides!!! xx have you thought about buying things out there? i am worried about weight, so im getting my tea lights, shot glasses and star fish from wallmart out there! Quote: Originally Posted by michelle2011 wow i didn't realise there were so many of us UK brides on here, that's wicked. Thanx Josie!! Girls my "bride" bag was from graciousbridal.com and was $19.95. I love the starfish bottle stops Kerry! lovely idea... with regard to weight... is it one case per paying person? I heard you can also have an extra case for the wedding dress is this correct? I am putting my dress in a hand luggage case so was thinking of using the spare one for wedding bits? Can anyone enlighten me on what is and isn't correct? Thanx it depends on your airline. im with thomas cook. out hand luggage is only 5kg and 23x17x11 so there's no way i can take my dress on as hand luggage. but we did get a free suitcase up to 20kg for wedding 'etire' only!

neither can i! gulp!

awww that's so cute! i love that!

do it! why not? i don't really 'dig' the french manicure thing, and what other colour would go?! so i'm having slutty red! it suits me

that's true. i want bright red nails, so i'll borrow my MOH red nailvarnish! great idea! i'm keeping my nan's ring, she left it to me adn it's going to be my wedding ring

Many congratulations and thanks for the tip! i fly out on Sunday so i've packed a pashmina and lots of sun lotion and insect repellent can't wait for your review, enjoy the rest of your stay and congratulations again! x

Morning girls i love the engraved frame too, remember the weight though! now im at the packing stages you have to be so careful how much stuff you're taking! tomorrow's my last day in the office, thank GOD! i am just looking forward to getting out there and it all coming together! i wasn't going to do the something borrowed/blue/old/new thing, until people started buying me things!! so far i have old (my nan's ring) new (my dress) and Blue (the girls bought me 'I Do' crystals for the bottom of my shoes!) so need borrowed. but i can't think of ANYTHING to borrow as i have everything!!!

omg you must be soooooooooo excited! we fly in 5 days! WAHOOOOOOOOO!!! xx

here's hoping! haha! one of my friends flies out two days after us, so i've given her a key to the flat. if i've forgotten anything she can go round and get it for us and bring it with her

what about then a voucher for them to do something on their own together? i feel very odd. shakey. it's not wedding panic, it's more holiday stress you know?! trying to ensure we have everything and we can get it all packed etc! i will feel so much better once we're out there!

Josie....Congrats on the job thats excellent news yay x Woodsylou....Wow you must be soooo excited with only a few days to go, are you all set and ready? I have been looking at dresses for the past few weeks now purely because everything is quite expensive i want to have plenty of time to pay for everything so trying to get a head start, so after looking and trying LOADS of different styles on i finally found THE DRESS and have put my deposit down yay was sooo exciting, here it is (the pics are of someone who had the same dress and are selling it on ebay!) What do you ladies think? How is everyone's planning going so far? Vicki xx OMG that is BEAUTIFUL! what a princess dress! it's so gorgeous! Quote: Originally Posted by Nicyx Oooo, any excuse to flash the dress Im going for this Maggie dress, I LOVE IT :-) Im actually thinking of ordering my dress online at Discount Unusual wedding dresses-money save wedding, Unique bridal gown,evening dresses from superbweddingdress.com Im a tiny bit worried after reading the horror stories but i figure €135 is a small gamble if i get it and its all good... Ive read a few good reviews so i think i will go for it and save myself like £800!!!! :-) xox that's so beautiful! i agree about risking it. if it's awful you are only losing about £100. go for it! Quote: Originally Posted by michelle2011 Nicy i'm sure you will still love your dress too. It's stunning, I love it. All our dresses are gorgeous we all have such good taste ha ha... Our plans are going well thanx Vicki.. and yesterday it just got better when FI asked his friend that is booking up to be bestman!! Yah!! So happy for him it's all coming together nicely now! My friend went to a wedding on Sat and when i looked at the photos she had a lovely hair band in. Exactly what i'm looking for so i'm gonna ask her were she got it from. I'll post pix once she tells me so you can all see what you think.. awww that's so great! i bet he's over the moon! also, what about borrowing your friend's hair band? save some ££'s!

I am a bundle of nerves today, i am litterally living on kalms! three days more of work and that's it! YAY! i had my school friends and my Moh round yesterday for a cream tea (finger sandwiches, cake, champagne, tea etc) and i put my dress on for them to see and my shoes and jewellery and my MOH and my mum both put thier outfits on too! it was all so nice! feels sooooooooo real!!

brilliant! you could do that as a business from home! wedding planner!! right i am out of here for the day! YAY! and next week i only have a three day week and then i'm off! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! weddings rock! speak next week, have great weekend's girls xxxx

1lb a week isnt' bad! when im off my diet i can put on like 5lb in a week! you've done well. those nibbles sound FABULOUS! if i wasn't so close to the wedding i'd have a night in tonight with a movie and a bag of those! mmmmmmmm!! how's the job searching going? have you considered working for yourself? x

hahahahahaha! that's a good way to think of it! i managed to stick with it yesterday, and today's a new day and a new battle. I really wanted chocolate earlier, got my cash together, went to the vending machine and then walked away and got a diet coke instead! how i'm going to last the evening i don't know!!!

Right so Stephen has now got rid of virus so im back... going to catch up now but b4 i do my garter came today :-) I know i have flashed b4 but hey ho... whats one more :-) xox awwwwwwwwww it's so cute! love it! are you going to the do the traditional 'garter toss' to all the single guys?

I was nick named thunder thighs in school and im determined not to feel that way on my wedding day!!! Haha, im hoping the exercise bike will help my legs :-) x i didn't notice a difference in my body until i lost about a stone, it effects people differently. but VERY well done! it's fabulous! Quote: Originally Posted by janapana Well done everyone for working out / losing weight.

Maybe because it seems so far away still, even though it´s not really, it´s too damn hot to move, and I LIKE BEER too much. :sigh: What can you do? don't do it if you don't want/have to! your H2B is marrying you for you and i bet he LOVES how you look! don't put yourself under the pressure!! i had to lose weight, just for my health, my bmi was way to high! it helped having a wedding to spur me on, but after the wedding i still have a way to go and i want to be healthy. if you're healthy and enjoy life as it is, don't change things! i'm a bit jealous! thank CRUNCHIE it's Friday girls! x

OMG sounds sooooooooooooo fabulous! i've booked my spa treatments and just waiting to hear back about the tours, sounds fab though! what a great benefit the dollars are! enjoy your stay and good luck on your wedding day! keep us updated if you get a chance! it's lovely to hear from you! xxx

i am finding it REALLY hard today, i want to eat everything why is it such a struggle?! so glad you loved your dress! bless you! post a pic!

oh yeah, re the dress. if you read my planning thread, i bought a dress and i knew in my heart of hearts it wasn't right, so my situation was different. but my new one, i love it more everytime i see it! you'll love yours, don't worry!! x

i would like to ask the same for this time of year! i get married in 2 weeks

awwwwwwwwwww thank you!! that's so nice of you! i am struggling with a final few pounds, it's not a huge deal if i don't lose it, but it would be the cherry on the cake if i could! x

yeah totally, and there is nothing majorly important outstanding so i can't say i'm concerned, i just love seeing her name in my inbox as i get to finalise things! haha! i had a lovely evening last night with a friend and we didn't talk about the wedding, and i SOOOO needed that! i think that's why i'm calmer today

Talking of contact with WC's, mine has been here and there. Sometimes she's really good and replies the next day, and then others i can't get a reply for love nor money. i've emailed her three times the last 10 days and had NO reply at all! i am not overly worried about it, cause i know it can all be sorted out there, but i wouldn't mind if she did come back to me!! on the plus side, i emailed the spa at the resort to book in my manicure and pedicure and my hair trial and for my hair to be done on the day, they've come back and confirmed the times and told all of us that we all have $300 complimentary to spend at the spa! WAHOOO! so we've all booked things, manicures and facials and massages! it's going to rock!

i always take these reviews with a pinch of salt. not many people take the time out to write good reviews, but want to spread the world of things that upset them. im sure even if it is busy you will be in the party spirit anyway! don't even worry about it! hey Yeya99! welcome to London!! where you moving too? i live out of london but work in Shoreditch, which is just behind Liverpool street station. London is huge, but has a big expat community. have you looked into googling for american expats in london? i bet you'll find a whole network! and you'll make friends quickly too! will you be working here? what kind of job? good luck! i am a LOT calmer today than yesterday,thank goodness!

Brilliant! i'm sure it will be!
