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

[August79]

A friend of mine has a Kinnect and it is so fun to play the dance game. It's a great way to burn calories and have fun at the same time lol

 

[Tiff]

LOOOOOVE Kinect!!!

I have Dance Central and can play most songs on Hard SO much freaking fun. Good workout too!

 

[August79]

I wish I could play it often enough to get on that level. Ahhhh who am I kidding? My own klutz factor keeps me from playing on hard!

 

[EmmyReece]

I've got Dance Central too on the Kinect, can't wait for October as Just Dance 3 is being released for the Kinect as well as the wii

Am going to buy Zumba for the Kinect too and try that out

Have you downloaded any extra songs on Just Dance Mynx? I downloaded the Katy Perry song and have to say I love it

 

[Mynx]

No I havent, our Wii isnt connected to the internet yet so no downloads atm! Gonna try and get that sorted in the next couple of weeks

I love Just Dance 2 on the wii tho, tis great fun and gets ya hot n sweaty which is what you want!

 

[EmmyReece]

yeah I've noticed that, I'm finding it's starting to take longer though before I get warm ... I'm trying to persuade Chris to buy me a 2nd hand wii so I can use my just dance 2 game at home rather than just being able to use it at mum's

Only 6 weeks to go, how much have you got left to do now?

 

[Mynx]

Here's what's left to do ...

Still to Do/Get/Pay For

Flower Girl's shoes
Gifts for the wedding party (frames for parents/Something for Jay's sister)
Get my wedding makeup
Meeting with the Registrar about the ceremony and pay her - August 10th 2pm
Pay off Venue (£420 left!)
Need to make a Menu board to put up where my table plan will be so everyone knows what they'll be eating - Cant do this till we confirm exactly is on the menu
Make table numbers for the meal
Adjust Evie's and Jessie's dressies


And that is it! I cant believe it 6 weeks to go and not very much to do at all

 

[Mynx]

This is a bit of depressing post really but I needed to get all this out so here I go...

I spoke to my dad yesterday and it seems he's really not very well at all He has an enlarged spleen and liver as well as problems with his heart. And because all 3 of those organs do stuff to your blood, he's having to have regular blood transfusions because of it. He's in the process of having tests at the moment because the doctors are thinking they may take out his spleen but they have to rule out other problems with his liver first. My dad has an appointment to see numerous specialists in a few weeks so they'll tell him then what needs to be done, and it'll more than likely involve a major operation, so they have told him. Which means he is unlikely to be able to get down for the wedding as he'll either be too weak or will have just had the op He's even cancelled his hotel room and has said that if he can make it down then he and his wife will stay at my stepsister's place about 10 miles away. It's looking more and more unlikely that he's gonna be there tbh, from the way he was talking on the phone. Obviously I want my dad to have whatever operation he needs to make him better but at the same time I want him to be there to see me get married.. so he can give me away. Since my brother died 5 years ago, I've been his only child and we've grown closer over those years so I'm absolutely devastated by this
Its been such a shit week too My best friend lost someone very close to her last week and I'm devastated for her It's all been so sad

And to top it all off... the Tiffany dress just isnt working out. I managed to get it done up and looking good at the back. But do you think I could breathe? Not a flipping chance. My ribs still ache 2 days after trying it on. I was in pieces about it too. Gutted is not the word. Every time I try the poxy dress on, I feel fat and depressed. And I know I'm not fat! I dont want to lose anymore weight tbh! Its getting to the point where I have fallen out of love with this dress now and I'm starting to actually despise it because of how it makes me feel So I'm selling it. Simple. Anyone want an ex display Tiffany Gown in a supposed size 12? (Pfft tis more like an 8-10 - 27inch waist)
On a brighter and more hilarious note, I'm in the process of buying ANOTHER dress. Nope it's not from China, I aint going thru all that crap again and besides, I dont have enough time now to get one made (6 weeks!! ) It's from Ebay. It's a Maggie Sottero "Michelle" dress in a size 12 (31 inch waist which is what I am!) Diamond White (ivory) and was worn for 2 hours. It's also been cleaned so apparently it's immaculate. It has a bloody massive train which isnt ideal but omg the front of the dress is gorgeous! So blingy! Love it I'm considering getting a bustle put into the back of the dress so I can move around easier for the reception. There was no Buy It Now price but the listing said that the seller would consider offers. So I offered £150 and she accepted, and is throwing in the hooped petticoat and free delivery Only problem is, she's on holiday atm and not due back till next weekend so I'll have to wait to get it but her daugher will be home on Tuesday and will end the auction, and then I'll pay her (thru PayPal, I need to be protected on this lol!) and she'll send it out when she gets back. So altho the deal isnt quite done yet, the dress is nearly mine
Here's the dress ... bear in mind, my one is in ivory/diamond white.

 

[EmmyReece]

I really hope the op helps your dad. I'm so sorry it's looking unlikely that he'll be there, I can only begin to imagine how you must be feeling I'll still be keeping everything crossed for you that he can make it as I completely understand how important it is for you to have him there

Really hope you have more more luck with this new dress, it's gorgeous, really love the front of the dress, it's so pretty

 

[honeybee2]

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad, there are no words which will comfort you hun, I'm just so sorry you have to go through it

I'm also very sorry about the dress, what a pain in the arse! The new maggie one is beautiful though- I cant remember which bride it was on here but they got a cheaper ebay version of that dress because I recognised it as soon as I saw it but yours is so gorgeous. I hope it turns out to be 'the dress' my love. xx

 

[Mynx]

Ah yeah I think I know the dress you mean.. Alfred Angelo do a very similar one.. almost identical except for the skirt .. on the AA one it's a kind of apron whereas the MS one is one piece if you know what I mean.. my one is also very similar to a Benjamin Roberts one and another which I cant remember the name of But it gives me some options if this one does fall thru, which I'm crossing my fingers doesnt happen!

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

Awww Nik, I'm so sorry your dad is so poorly, I really hope he gets his operation soon and it sorts out his other problems. I'm not in the ideal frame of mind myself right now but as always, if there's anything I can do..... I'm just a phonecall away.

On a kinda seperate note, the funeral is Friday, at 1.15pm at Breakspear then the wake is up the club after. I'll speak to ya before then tho.
Hope Evie is a bit better today too nik xXx

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

Oh and I love the new frock xXx

 

[Mynx]

Aww thanks Nik for letting me know I'll be there of course armed with my absorbant shoulders and plenty of tissues

Glad you like the new frock.. I really hope that this is the end to the whole farce!!

The Tiffany one is on Ebay now.

 

[michyk84]

i'm sorry your dad is so poorly your dad is the one person you just 'expect' will be there by your side on the day, even though my wedding is still over 7 months off my nan is very poorly at the mo & we dont know if she will actually still be with us let alone at wedding so i kinda know how it feels to have someone so close poss not able to make it

new dress is stunning & i hope the other sells well for you

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

Nik, are we wearing sash's or anything at the hen night? Or just flour 80s gear? Do I need to order anything else?
xXx

 

[Mynx]

Not sure about sashes tbh.. I'll have to ask Elisha when she gets back from Kavos Just under 3 weeks till the hen night

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

Okey doke, lemme know if I need to order anything else xXx

 

[Tiff]

Massive hugs hun about your Dad.

Disappointing to say the least, especially after all you've been through. Could you take a video or something of it? Who is going to walk you down the aisle? Life just sucks at times, wish there was another day to say/put it.

LOVE the new dress!!! Its gorgeous!!! You and me hunny! You hold the record for most dresses ever and I hold the record for most veils!
