Thanks I can't stop looking at it lol. Been thinking about the cake and I think we're going to have individual cupcakes as wedding favours and then just a small cake for us to cut

 

[kmbabycrazy]

So I have paid the deposit for the car, ordered the invites, and bought some photo frames for the table numbers. This week I also need to pay off my dress, book an appointment with the cake lady (and probably pay the deposit), and order the bridesmaids dresses. Oh and book the honeymoon.

Things are really coming together now I'm so excited!!!

 

[Mummy May]

Ooh its all coming together now I had to pay half of my cake when I booked in with my cake lady. I love it at times when you get loads done!! Xx

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Yeah it's a 50% deposit but my mum has offered to pay for the cake but I don't know if she can afford to pay the deposit x

 

[Mummy May]

Yeah I had a couple of times like that! What are your cupcakes/small cake gonna be like? xx

 

[kmbabycrazy]

My small cake is just going to be a round 8" cake in mint green with a white lace design around the outside (like a ribbon), and the cup cakes are going to be like in the picture, but we're only having the quilted ones and the ones with piping and little roses. They'll be in mint green and white xx

 

[kmbabycrazy]

And the honeymoon is booked!!!!

 

[Mummy May]

Wooooooo! Xx

 

[kmbabycrazy]

So we had a disaster. The bridesmaids dresses I had picked didn't have everyone's size so I have had to hunt for new ones with the help of one of my bridesmaids and we found these

I love them, and OH's mum has offered to buy them. So that should be the BM dresses sorted.

I've been a bit preoccupied planning DS birthday party so I haven't done much wedding stuff apart from the bridesmaids dresses. But after that I should be able to get on with everything

 

[Mummy May]

Those are really lovely!! xx

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Thank you. OH's mum is transferring the money for them to me tomorrow so should get them then xx

 

[Lauren25]

Love those dresses, they are gorgeous!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I'm so gad I found them because I love them more than the ones I originally had in mind

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Bridesmaids dresses are now ordered. I am going to pay my wedding dress off tomorrow, and I have an appointment with the cake lady on Saturday to hopefully get that booked and pay the deposit. I have spoken with the photographer about our pre-wedding shoot and we're thinking some time in April for that. I need to wait for my card to come so I can make the reception address inserts for the invites then I can get them sent out.

After relaxing a little last week after my exams I am now in full stress mode. Trying to sort out our house and plan this wedding and I am also planning Toby's birthday party and getting everything ready for that, I am dreading exam results in a couple of weeks, I have an assignment to write for my least favourite module, and I have just started driving lessons. Stress overload. Think I might be treating myself to a nice spa day before long. I have got a treat to look forward to though as Mcbusted announced the other day that they are playing her (8 days before the wedding) so I am going to buy tickets for that when they come out Saturday. Me, my sister and a friend from uni are going

 

[Lauren25]

You sound very busy, a spa day will deffo relax you with all that going on!

And Mcbusted I am so jealous!!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I thought I wouldn't get to go. We have an outdoor venue here and mcfly played last year and they tweeted about how much they loved it here so I was hoping they would come but then all the announcements kept coming with no mcbusted and I kind of lost hope and then Monday they announced and I was literally jumping around my living room haha x

 

[kmbabycrazy]

So the cake is booked and deposit paid. We went to speak to the hotel about some things. I have started sending the invitations and had a go at a rough seating plan just to get an idea. This may be the most stressful part of the wedding as half of OHs family hate each other and I have to sit people apart. It's part of the reason we're not having a traditional top table and just having a sweetheart table with me and OH.

I am still waiting on the bridesmaids dresses to come but they're made to order. These are the things I still need to sort...

-lily's outfit
-we need to pick the suits and tell FIL prices and place (he's hiring them for us)
-buy the flowers (we're using silk flowers)
-send the rest of the invitations
-book an appointment with the vicar as he wanted to see us again around this time
-get my shoes, veil and underwear
-finalise plans for the hen night
-buy the rings.

We have found the rings

Mine

OHs

Also going round to my sister's to finalise plans for my hen night with her, and also to see her friend who is doing all the decoration to finalise all that.

Can't believe how fast the time is going, ever since it became 'this year'. It's terrifying. I'm so worried I'm not going to have everything sorted. I was thinking about it the other day and I'm actually glad I'm a student whilst getting married because as I finish in May i'll have 6 weeks of free time before the wedding. Which I'm grateful for as the 3 weekends before my wedding are all booked up. Mid June it's my birthday and me and OH are supposed to be going to Leeds for the weekend, the week after it's my Grandad's 70th so we're going over to Warrington for the weekend, the weekend after it's McBusted and then my friends wedding, and the week after is my wedding. June/July are busy for me. Definitely going to need that spa day!!

 

[Mummy May]

Don't worry, everything WILL get done Your OH will probs have to go with your Dad to hire suits anyway so they can get measured (thats what happened here anyway). It all sounds like a lot, but honestly you've done a lot already! Are you feeling excited at all yet? xx

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Yeah very. It's a mix of excitement and worrying haha xxx
