She's coming to stay for a few days next week so I will talk to her and see what she says. She's actually down to do a reading for us as well, but I don't want to pressurise her.
Talking about shoes, I've actually ordered these. I want something nice and comfortable with no danger of me falling over. So these will be coming to my dress fitting with me

I think I've got my something old etc planned
- Something old and borrowed - my nan's wedding ring that is going on my necklace as it doesn't fit my finger
- Something new - my dress
[*]Something blue - can I count the blue delphinium in my flowers?
If for any reason you're not happy with the flip-flops you've ordered from NL then the next pair of shoes you could try could be BLUE!!! Not that your flowers don't count hun, of course they do, but this was something my friend did and it looked great! There's a picture of her walking across some grass, lifting her dress up (helped by MOH) and it shows off her blue (suede!) shoes perfectly! Hey, you could even has Elvis sing that song or name a table after it?!?!?! She had blue flats for the reception as the heels were rather high on her 'main' shoes! Just an idea my lovely
We got around the family disputes by not inviting the people (DH's aunt and my uncle) we didn't want there - simples! Not what you want to hear I know. I understand you HAD to invite them though. Just allocate someone to deal with crap like that on the day - honestly, people are usually BEGGING to help out with stuff.
With the table plan I did the exact layout in the room on my plan. It was quite simple though; 6 round tables! I didn't want to sit on a straight top table as I personally find them very unsociable (the poor people on the end only have one person to talk to!). After I did it my blue suede shoe friend did exactly the same at her wedding 6 months later! And my sister in law did it as well - it's a great idea! For simplicity could you use the real record for yours and Chris' name, then for the rest use black circles with blue (or other colour from your theme) in the middle and just list the names (then people can find their place when they get to the table)? I think you might have already bought a load of records though so this would be an extra expense!
Take it that the family friend ISN'T coming and get your bridesmaid to practice on your hair and make up now. No point in finding out at the last minute hun.
Well done on the calorie counting. Not easy! Some brides find they lose weight in the run up to the wedding because of the rush to get everything done but I didn't!!! Everything was so well planned and completed in advance that I was fairly relaxed (as relaxed as a control freak can be!). Just get as much sorted now as you can as there will likely be little things cropping up on the way.
Have you confirmed exactly what you will be saying (i.e. vows) with your registrar? That is one thing I forgot and it sent me into a panic about 10 days before the wedding!!! I just took bits from here and there and put it all together and sent it off to the registrar. Everything was fine as I didn't deviate from the norm, but it was something we had to do with our council.
Sorry to be posting so much, but weddings REALLY excite me chick - if I could do it again (with my DH of course!) I would!!! Some people have said I should be a wedding planner and I briefly looked into it but decided an office job was more me (as I am a control freak!).

I def think the flowers can count as your something blue. They were mine too! Well those along with the garter. 
I'm quite excited, though a bit nervous about what I will look like
