Mynx's Wedding Journal - *Woohoo I'm married!!!!*

[Mynx]

Oooo alo sweetie Tis a fair amount of boring waffle I'm afraid, but grab yaself a coffee

 

[purpledahlia]

I dont think i can read through it all I tried! I didnt realise Jay had MS! Well done for getting through everything you have!

 

[Mynx]

Aww bless you hun, I'll forgive ya for not reading the whole thing... 51 pages is a wee bit too much

Thank you Jay was diagnosed in 2000 with MS (relapsing and remitting) and because of the type he has, most of the time he's not too bad (still in constant pain, trouble with his hands and legs) but he has relapses every couple of months that really knock the stuffing out of him and the trouble with those is that each relapse lasts a little longer and leaves behind a little more pain. If you were to look at him you wouldnt think he was ill which is kind of a good thing, and kind of a bad thing if you know what I mean lol!

 

[purpledahlia]

Aw bless, well sounds like he has good support

Will try and find the important posts about your wedding to get me up to speed

 

[twiggy56]

Well claire you did say you were bored! Its only 500 posts?

Nix- have you done a checklist of stuff needing to be done still? Im meant to do one at 8 weeks before as thats when venue asks for confirmation of numbers, seating etc but I havent done it yet

Not that I was going to pinch yours or anything

 

[Mynx]

LOL Twigs! I'll get on that tonight but according to my quick checklist (just a rough one) I think pretty much everything is in hand now (apart from photoframe gifts for our parents) till August when I can get the flower girl shoes.

In the words of Arnie..

I'll be back

 

[purpledahlia]

I'll be back

Nik Jessie's new foot is a 10 but it's tight and I have to shoehorn her shoes on..So I would guess that by the wedding she will be still a 10 ... but it is possible she could shoot up to an 11 on the other foot?

To anyone reading that doesn't know me my daughter wears a prosthetic leg as she had an amputation at 13 months due to Fibular Hemimelia, and had recently received a new prosthetic

 

[honeybee2]

err Mynx- that doesn't give you the right to just dissapear just because you cant do anything until august! Your staying right where you are missy- forum wouldn't be the same without you!

Dont worry Nik, I'll wait to get the shoes till August, it's not a problem It'll give me something weddingy to do in that month I'd like to get the girls matching shoes if possible... not sure wether to go down the sandals route or the smart, ivory patent way? What do you reckon Nik? x

HB.. I wont be going anywhere, you're stuck with me till at least September I'll be hanging around the bridal parts for a while after too I reckon as I really enjoy reading about weddings and everyone's plans

HB, she really is! She's an inspiration as she's overcome so much and taken everything in her stride (scuse the pun!) Just goes to show how resiliant kids are!

What about red patent?

 

[Mynx]

Ooo actually, yes that would be nice ... would be the opposite of Elisha in her red dress and ivory shoes ... I like that idea Nik, thanks!

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

Ya welcome Would set the socks of nicely too xXx

 

[Mynx]

I have a confession to make (Nik knows all about this already having listened to me banging on about for the last couple of weeks! )

My china package is actually another wedding dress *hides*

Yes, that's another dress. Like I havent had enough dresses yet! This one will be no. 5 but OMG it's gorgeous!

Dress no. 4 was another Tiffany Bridal dress but the next size up, and yes it fit much better but even for an ex display (which my other Tiffany dress is as well) it was in shocking condition with yellowed sequins, a rip in the underskirt and was pretty dirty, even tho they said it would be cleaned before being sent out! So I sent it back and I'm waiting on a refund for it.

The reason for my dress wobble is because my size 12 Tiffany Bridal dress is absolutely gorgeous.. I do truly love it! But it's a size 12 (not a true 12 either!) with a 27 inch waist ... I have absolutely no chance of getting that small! The last time my waist was that small, it was because I didnt have enough money to eat and lived on toast and cheese sarnies! So I started looking around again and came across what I hope is a beautiful dress! I'm hoping this will be delivered tomorrow so I'll take pics of it! (IF it arrives lol!) I've ordered it in my size and it has a 29.5inch waist and my waist is currently at 31.5 so I still have 2 inches to lose but I'm confident I can do it with no problems

Phew I'm glad I got that off me chest LOL!

 

[EmmyReece]

so sorry about the other dress hun. hope the new one turns up tomorrow so we can have a nosey

I'm sure you can lose those inches

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

 

[purpledahlia]
