Hello ladies )) Thank you to all of you for compliments about invites ))xx @Michelle, our MILs sound so alike, mine too in public with other people pretends that everything is perfect, but then gets me or my FI alone and spils all the crazy lol...its upsetting and I dont see point of her doing it, but as I like to look at it, life is too short to even try to understand what is happening in that woman's head Hope you will be able to avoid her on your big day sweetie!!!xoxo @Char - can I just say that you are a saint hon!!! Working, studying, exams, wedding planning and worring about your girl passing GCSE's too, WOW!!! I just hope that it all goes well to both of you ))x Your car and cake look fantastic too, - love vintage cars!!!

Ouch sorry ladies, didn't realise they were such a massive pictures...lol )) Anyway, let me know what you think ))xoxo Oh and btw I have noticed, while reading through pages I missed out on, that there were few new girls on here too! )) Congratulations to you all ladies and big Welcome!!! ))xoxo

Hello ladies!!! Haven't been on here for a very long time again...got all wrapped up with Easter, studying and family birthdays (had about 4 in the last few weeks) lol But I hope that you all doing very well and I hate myself that I have missed some girls leave for their big day....Nicy is even MRS already!!! But if you will be reading this sweetie congratulations to you and your husband, - I had a nice glass of wine for you on the 6th :Dxoxo And so many of you had their hen nights as well and I am glad that everything went so well and all the pictures look fantastic!!! Btw Michelle happy that your MIL wasn't causing you any trouble and hopefully you will be able to avoid her in Mexico too ....i hope the same for myself with my MIL lol While we are on this subject, - it is Oliver's 30th birthday next month on 25th and he was really looking forward having family BBQ at our house and just relaxing, but then during Easter we find out that his mother and his sisters have booked tickets to go see Bon Jovi right on his big birthday!!! and when he mentioned (to his own mother that should actually remember when her own child was born) that it is his birthday she said (and i quote) "well you have your very expensive wedding coming up, why would you need a birthday party...." WTF!!!! can you imagine girls, what does our wedding next year (which btw isn't expensive cos we are having only about 12ppl abroad) has to do with his 30th birthday this year!!! he was sooo angry with her, that we had to leave half way through Easter Sunday, cos he couldn't stand talking to her anymore...rant is over...sorry girls had to share this with someone... Anyway, on the good note, we have officially booked my wedding dress (which should come right before Christmas, yay ) and we also received our wedding invitations!!!! It was right before Easter so we had chance to hand deliver all of them during Easter break, and everyone loved them!!! I am over the moon the way they turned out, here are few pictures for you ladies:

Hi chanelo ) Hope you are doing well sweetie ) I haven't been on here for ages now lol...been having a little break from wedding planning before Easter Hope you all ladies had a wonderful time during Easter break!!! :)x Unfortunately, I have not heard from Dana either and would love to hear how her big day went!!!! )) I am sure it was fantastic, but dying to see some pictures :Dx xoxo

Mrs Williams You are a start at DIY hon, your BM's bouquets look fantastic and its great that you have found an alternative to paying INSANE money for flowers in DR!!! )) Dana Sweetie so glad that you are having such a superb time in DLR and that everything is just as you have imagined and you are managing to rest now and have an amazing and beautiful ceremony with your FI and your family ))x Really cant believe like Chanelo said, that you are there now getting married Congratulations to you once again hon and hope you will enjoy the rest of your stay in there as well )) And all of us here will be waiting patiently when you will come back and will tell us all about it, yay!!! big kisses and hugs hon and congrats once again )x xoxo

Oh Michelle it was so lovely of your friends to make such a sweet surprise for you!!! ))xx It borough tear to my eye just by reading about it, so can imagine how you felt, you are really blessed with such an amazing girls ))x About the rings, you see, I thought that they shouldn't be that expensive lol especially usually high street prices are slightly higher too, so will definitely shop around to find better deal and special ring too, ...cos the ones we saw where not anything special to be honest.. In regards to MIL lol, at least you got something good out of her, a nice discount on your rings lol xoxo

Also ladies as I promised you yesterday, here is my review on Smooch rings Last night very pleasant lady arrived to show us a lot of rings and we spend probably about an hour trying them all on )) I found few that I think I like but nothing special to be honest and my FI now knows more or less what he wants his ring to be as well, which is great!!! )) He decided to have palladium ring, cos its just like platinum (they are from the same family) but 3 times less expensive and after talking to Smooch ladies I decided to have palladium wedding ring too, cos my engagement ring is platinum and apparently you can wear these two together without any problems cos they are almost the same thing )) which i was really happy about cos I didnt want to spend a £1000 on my wedding ring... So when she gave us prices of the rings we have chosen we were quite surprised...and not in a good way lol We new that palladium is quite cheap so we expected for my ring to be around 500-600 and similar for his....but it happened that his ring came up to £680 and mine...£900!!!! Is this normal you think, how much did you girls pay for your rings...if you don't mind me asking! )x I mean if that's how much they cost everywhere then of course we will buy them, but it seemed to us that its a lot of money for palladium rings and especially that I think we have saw some on wedding fair we liked and they were no where near that much... But anyway, after meeting last night we have decided to shop around lol cos we have plenty of time on our hands, so we arranged meeting with Goldfinger ppl and thanks to Michelle C we are meeting Sara 16th April as well )) it will be day after my Birthday as well, which is great By the way I have spoke with Sara via email and she seems very lovely , so I am really looking forward to our meeting, thank you so much once again Michelle C )x Wow wrote the hole essay here, sorry girls xoxo

doh sorry stopped mid sentence there lol I meant to say that to avoid all the craziness with documents we decided to go to register office week before we leave for Dominican, so this way we know that we are 100% legally married lol and I can change my name as soon as we come back from DR too xoxo

@ Michele sweetie really hope you had loads of fun last and really cant wait when you will post here what your friends have come up with :Dxx And about MIL, I agree with you she is wiered not talking to you and still coming for your hen... but i just hope that she will keep to herself and will not cause any trouble! Sorry girls that I cant help more about marriage certificates...we are getting married in Dominican and to avoid all of this legalisation and crazy document translation fees (that only Dominican seem to need), but hope you will figure everything out soon ladies )

Herbie, Thank you soooo much sweetie for recommendation, your rings look amazing, we were looking to have very similar to yours!!!! ))) and you got bridesmaids gifts wow, that must have saved you a fortune and its sooo beautiful too! We actually made appointment yesterday with Smooch lady to come over tonight (so will let you all know how it went ), but as we are not in rush to find our rings, I have emailed Sara Taylor as well and said that you have recommended her, so will make appointment with her too hopefully - cos i LOVE your rings sooo much )) Will let you all girls know how it goes xoxo
