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

[Tiff]

That's awesome!

I don't need anything under my dress, its got like 10 layers of crinoline under it already! The good thing to is after the wedding you could always sell all the undergarments and make some money back!

Are you planning to keep your dress or sell it? I want to sell mine (we have no space for it) and everyone is horrified! They think I should keep it in case Claire wants to wear it for her wedding some day.

Wow. That's some petticoat. I have petticoat envy

I can't wait to see the updated pics.

Ordered the flower girl dresses today. The sleeves and the bodices are very slightly different but that shouldnt matter too much should it? They're the same colour, and shape and the skirt part of the dresses are identical, so they should look almost the same
Also, ordered J's shoes at last! He wanted some black and white gangster spat style shoes so that's what he got They'll look great with the black tux

 

[Mynx]

This is Evie's dress ... the other dress is almost identical except the shoulders are double spaghetti straps ... does it matter that their dresses are a little different? Here's the other one...

J has bought my wedding pressie
It's a Links of London bracelet with some charms on that someone on here was selling (brand new, never worn etc) I was going to get it for Elisha as a bridesmaid gift but she already has one - it's seen better days, granted, but she has one and I dont - so J thought it would be better for me as I've always wanted one

I'll be getting him a new watch (his is pretty knackered) and I'll get an inscription put on the back ... nothing fancy, just a momento of our day

[Mynx]

Eeeeeeee I'm excited now!!!

 

[honeybee2]

[Mynx]

Aww thanks hun
Still got some pounds to lose cos there's still a gap at the back (hence why no pics of the back ) and I have the dreaded builders bum poking out the top of the corset but I hope I can lose it by the time of the wedding

I LOVE THE DRESS!!!

 

[booflebump]

Eeeeep! It's beautiful! Like a princess! xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

you look absolutely amazing in it hun

 

[Tiff]

You look fabulous hun! The petticoat really does add that extra little somethin' somethin' for sure!!!

P has a pair of Doc Martin spat shoes that he wears to work all the time. He loves them!!!!

 

[Mynx]

Thanks girls When I first started looking at dresses, I thought maybe I was too old for a dress like this but then when I saw this one and fell in love, I thought "sod it! I'm only doing this once!"

 

[Tiff]

I know what you mean! I thought my dress was a "young" dress and that I wouldn't be able to pull off wearing it... but I loved it too much to care! Besides, everyone who will be at your wedding love you and will be too busy being happy for you.

Besides, the dress is too pretty for anyone to have a doubt. Amazing how hard we are on ourselves eh?

 

[EmmyReece]

Besides, everyone who will be at your wedding love you and will be too busy being happy for you.

I'll second that, and as we all say you look amazing. Like a proper princess. You know what the pic kinda reminded me of??

Cinderella I know it's not the same dress, but that's who you remind me of
