Went to the hairdressers today to sort my hair, 4 bridesmaids and my Mums!
She's charging £170 for a trial and on the day for me, 4 bridesmaids hair curled and a blow dry for my Mum, this includes her coming to the venue so I'm really happy with that! I've booked my trail for 15th March

Then I've just booked my make up trial for Me and My Mum for the 20th April ​

​

Wahhh, go give notice. Book the registrar!!!

I keep wondering if you've had this baby yet or not

 

[Lauren25]

Ohh the registrar is booked I forgot to bold that! We still haven't have notice though as OH is lazy and wants to do the new baby at the same time

No, no baby sadly So fed up now but no signs of it coming!

 

[Lauren25]

Went and picked up our wedding rings today! Mine fit perfectly so I didn't have to send it off go be resized! Here it is and with my engagement ring!

congratulation x

 

[Lauren25]

Thank you everyone, and thank you Aly for your message

Wedding plans have well and truly went out the window so thank god I got most bits done!

We planned and being able to register Darcey and give notice at the same time but that hasn't been able to happen and the next date they had to give notice was the 15th April so that's booked to do that!

Apart from that I've done nothing, I've completely lost where I am and have no clue what to do next

 

[aly888]

Haha, well at least you planned for this. If it was me id have been like "yeah it's fiiiine, I'll do it when baby's here..." then when baby got here I'd be like "holy crap, how am I meant to get anything done!!!" This was you get to enjoy Darcey without the worry of wedding things looming over you I'm sure you'll pick it up again once you're both into a routine

 

[Lauren25]

Haha I'm so glad I done it now!

I really want to get Darceys dress but I have no clue what size to get her, she'll be 4 1/2 months but at the minute she's dinky but if she turns out like Bobby he was a monster baby haha! I think I'm just going to have to wait and see how she puts on weight!

I desperately need to pay the hotel, we were meant to pay half at the end of January but it just keeps slipping our mind!

OHs Auntie has been round twice to see Darcey and visit and even though she told OH she'd get back to him about the hotel and telling me she'd get back to me about the make up she never even said a word! Strange how some people want to make all the plans and push for things but won't saying anything to you about it! MIL has said though that she spoke to the girls and has told them they are doing their make up and their happy with that but still Id like to hear OHs Auntie tell me seen as though she made such a fuss about it all!

Off to look at my list now to see what needs doing

 

[aly888]

Aww do you know what dress you're getting her? I think you'll just need to wait and see what curve she follows on the growth chart before committing to buy, but you can still choose the dress

I know what you mean about paying. We've not paid anyone for ages. I need to contact the photographer again to find out when he wants the next payment and to arrange our 'engagement' shoot Have the hotel not chased you for the money??

His auntie sounds horrific. Why is she making such a meal out of everything!?

 

[Lauren25]

I want to get her the estella one from Monsoon, I've had it picked for 'what if I have a girl' for ages but yea I'm going to hold back and see how she grows!

No they never chased us but OH rang them and paid them yesterday, our wedding coordinator knew I was due soon after the last time we seen her so I'm guessing she was just being nice and thinking the baby had came! I can't remember about paying all the others, I'm sure with the rest it was just pay final balance x amount of weeks before the day, ill have to get all the info out though!

I haven't got a clue but the thing that annoys me is when you see her she mentions nothing to you, obviously wants to stick her nose in but doesn't want the confrontation!

I'm trying to decide how to write the invites out, I want them in nice writing but I don't think neither me or OH will be able to do it! Also trying to decide to stamp RSVPs or not, some people's we deffo won't, e.g. Parents and some people we deffo will but then others I'm not sure to use the money to or leave it for them to do!
