[Amy-Lea]

Pictures will be great!

 

[EmmyReece]

Pictures will be great!

Thanks hun

Am soooo tempted to see if we can save for a professional photographer as I really don't want to stress my brother out with my rather demanding list

I might ask him to bring his camera anyway to take some shots for us

 

[EmmyReece]

Really wish Chris' parents know about the wedding so I can put pics of my venue up on facebook

He still wants to wait until we have the save the date magnets before we say anything

 

[Tiff]

They'll look so nice hun!!!! Aww, I'm super happy for you.

 

[Lisa84]

Hey hun just noticed u have set ur date for 20th July 2013. We get married on the 20th July 2012

We will have the same anniversary xx

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm sooooo excited ... just over a week and you'll only have a year left to wait

 

[Lisa84]

Yup i know im so excited too. Really need to get my arse into gear. We booked our weddin as far in advance as u have booked yours and its just flown by and we still have loads to decide. I havent even sent out save the dates yet

i know u have plans and ideas but definately get stuff sorted hun coz the time really does fly by xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

I've got the save the dates ordered, I'm going to send them out as soon as they arrive, going to try and budget my money to save for a professional photographer as I think my brother is a bit stressed thinking his pics will be the only ones I have

I've also been buying things in, like headdresses for the bridesmaids, and have got one of their bracelets Have spotted some fantastic yellow ties on ebay that I'm thinking of buying - £1.99 each and then for 6 of them it's something like £3.49 postage and packaging

 

[Lisa84]

We have got the photographer, suits ordered and the string quartet thats it

we are lucky we are gettin help from both sets of parents so could get a decent photographer but before they offered to help i said to david that i didnt care what i had to cut back on in other areas i was havin a photographer! Photographs are the memories of the day and you want them to be fab hun!! Im sure ur brother would do a fab job but like u said its alot of pressure xxx

 

[Tasha]

I have been reading this on and off day, caught up now. It sounds fab, I love, love, love the venue. Also love the snow white dress. You wedding is going to be so pretty

 

[EmmyReece]

Tasha, welcome to my wedding ramblings lol

Lisa, I had started a photographer savings pot, but had to nab the first £10 I'd put in it because I'd come across a fantastic deal on ebay I've promised myself that I WILL put away at least £30 next week

Just got 6 yellow ties for my brothers, whoever gives me away, Chris' dad, Chris' brother and the best man for £15 including postage, and it's the perfect shade of yellow that I wanted too

 

[Smile181c]

Yay That is a lovely shade hun xx

 

[EmmyReece]

It just seems the perfect shade of yellow

Just had a bit of a "discussion" with Chris over photographs. He's saying he doesn't want any pictures taken on his own, which means I'm going to look like a right poser if I have pictures done on my own

Mum says one of my Dad's friends would be honoured to do a lot of our photos for us and that he's really good with the camera too, but I'm worrying as to whether I'll feel awkward doing the posey pictures in front of him

Though I did find this lady online and she does a 7 hour package for £500, really love some of the photos that she's done

[EmmyReece]

Oh what a night Let's start off with something nice

I've sent an enquiry in to the photographer that I've found asking if she could show me anymore examples of her work, what areas of wales she covers, whether she would want a deposit or the full amount up front. I hope she gets back to me soon as I really like her work, I'm going to link a few pictures that she's done that I really like

On a slightly worse note, I don't think there's any chance of my uncle and his family coming to the wedding. To cut a long story short, he's fell out with my 26 year old brother over a comment he put on his facebook page, and then my uncle got mum involved, and because he didn't like what my mum said he told her stay away from him and his family

And to top it all off, Mum thinks my dad's friend will be too shy to actually give me away

 

[mossip]

Aww hunny thats shocking about your uncle. I hope you's can sort it out before the wedding xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

I know 2 years is a long time to wait, but there's a heck of a lot of bad feeling at the moment, and he really hasn't helped matters by saying that what my brother does isn't a real job (he's a carer like me)

 

[mossip]

Being a carer is a bliddy hard job!!! Stew has epilepsy and when he's bad its a nightmare. He's totally wrong there. xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

Just really can't be bothered with him The way I'm trying to look at it is that it's his loss not ours, espescially given the way he obviously thinks about us looking after mum

Anyhoo I will not let knobs like that bring me down ...

I have a wedding to plan

 

[Smile181c]

Good on you for not letting them get you down hun

You don't need people like that around you on the most important day in your life!

Love the photographs, and she's quite cheap for a photographer isn't she! x
