Shabutie's September Shindig... We are now Mr and Mrs SANG!!

[Shabutie]

He was annoyed i made him try it after shopping And he knew it was to go on here!

So been and got everyone's shirts today, and they had them all in stock £120 in shirts although we didnt pay for them!

Got to ring the dress lady tomorrow to book a date to get my dress altered! Exciting times. I've also brought my wedding shoes, white converse and the green laces to go with them. Just need to find some green socks, otherwise it'll be white ones!

 

[Shabutie]

Just re read what I wrote... sounds like I stole the shirts... I didnt! They each paid for their own, so we only paid for OH's!

Anyway, it's 2.35am and Im listening to Elton John Crocodile Rock as Im trying to think of songs for our song list. I'm discovering so many songs I forgot about, and its keeping me up! I'll pay for it in the morning! But I really do need to finish this song list! Less then a month to go!

coming together nicely hun and so little time to go too. Where is your venue again?

 

[Shabutie]

We are getting married in at the church in Emsworth and then having the reception in the next village hall. My aunty and Nan had their receptions there too.

 

[Shabutie]

So all my cutlery, bowls, plates and silver platters have been brought.

I am going to try my hair out today/tomorrow, as I need to leave the rags in over night, and will probably keep them in all day saturday until A is in bed!

At my mums atm, so when I get home I will be cutting the banqueting roll to size and finishing off the favour boxes...

 

[hakunamatata]

It's coming up soon!!!

 

[taperjeangirl]

so close! Love the suits, what bargains!!

 

[Shabutie]

So OH went paintballing for his stag do today. They were meant to go out for a meal and a few drinks but spent all their money on paintballs

I have recieved my OOS and am half way throught putting ribbon around them. I will take a pic soon. Never got round to practicing my hair, its somthing i really need to do as its only 3 weeks to go and I still dont know what im doing for it. i practiced my makeup again last night, and my bridesmaid put some fake eyelashes on, and it looked lovely eveb if I do say so myself. I even had my eye brows plucked for the first time! I am so glad i did as they look 100x better then before!

I have my dress fitting tomorrow at 2pm, so I hope that all goes well. it needs taking in around the waist and bust. Hopefully my mum will take some pics so i can upload them too!

 

[michyk84]

the suits/ties are lovely

 

[Shabutie]

So I had my dress fitting today and she needs to take 1inch of each side of my waist I've added a pic but excuse my face... I still look fat, but it is quite hard to disguse

I'm about to decorate my Mr & Mrs sign and I will remember to take some pics of our OOS, they are simple but I think look fab!

Also managed too find some things to put the knives, forks and spoons in ready for the buffet, and got my ribbon, which will be my shoe laces on my converse... whenever they decide to arrive!

Still havent practiced my hair, and only got 22 days left! If all else fails I will just have it straightened!

 

[honeybee2]

you look lovely- are you having a veil?

 

[Shabutie]

Yeah I am having a veil, but dont think I will put it over my face, it annoys me

Gonna have my hair down too!

 

[Mynx]

I wont be having a blusher on mine either hun

I think you look gorgeous sweetie

 

[Shabutie]

So here is my Mr & Mrs sign, and my order of service, although the ribbon looks gold for some reason, but is green IRL. I got my dad mentioned in there, and I am going to ask OH if he will mention him, but only for a few seconds

 

[Arlandria]

Aw, lovely hun xxx

 

[Mynx]

Awww they look fab

 

[Shabutie]

Postie brought me my ribbon and tags this morning so the Order of Service have been finished, all 100 of them! Also wrote out all 100 tags to go with the bubbles.

Off out tomorrow to get OH's dad's suit and collect two parcels from the post office!
