time to get organised - Emmy's wedding 20th July 2013

[Mummy May]

Have a lovely weekend xx

 

[EmmyReece]

af is on her way just before my hen night I knew it was coming, but was hoping I might be ever so slightly late this cycle. Not really sure what to do about my costume now as it's a white and blue striped skirt

We've got an appointment with the registrar this morning to take the vow, music and reading choices in, oh and to pay too. £324 lighter we will be this afternoon

I've ordered a hair dye so that I have an even colour on my hair for the hen night. Then once that's done I'm going to use a colour stripper from boots and be a lot lighter for a few weeks while I use extra conditioning treatments before putting on a nice dark brown shade to match my clip in extensions. Sounds like a lot of faff, but I know my hair is ok when I've used the colour stripper after using it previously, so I'd prefer to do that than to go to a hairdresser and pay over £30 for the privelidge

Oh and I need to crack on and sort out the gift bags for the hen night this week, oh and charge my little camera ready for saturday night

 

[EmmyReece]

Ok scrap that about af, turns out it's not on the way, though that might have something to do with having put a bit of weight back on. So am easing myself back into healthy eating, though this weekend is going to be a bit of an off one as it's my hen night on saturday.

I've made myself sit down and tackle the gift bags for saturday night for my family and friends. And this is pretty much what's in each one

So, we paid our registrar yesterday - £323 (including 2 certificates). And I have to say, it feels a lot more real now We've been told that the registrar doing our ceremony is a bit of a perfectionist, but to let it go over our heads as he will make sure that we have an amazing ceremony. Trust us to end up with that one

I'm trying to figure out what I want lip wise for my makeup as nothing I try seems right. At this rate I think I will just go for the lip junkie lip gloss from urban decay as I like how that wears on my lips

 

[Mummy May]

Yey for af not coming, that's the last thing you want on your hen do. Good luck with the eating, you can do it xx

 

[EmmyReece]

Feeling a bit sad at the moment. I've had 2 years to lose weight and I've quite literally just stayed at the same weight. Some of the photos of my hen night look truly awful as I look so big and I'm petrified of how our wedding photos will look. I know that we're in good hands with Ant, but I feel really disappointed in myself

Mil2b ruined my hen night. Making comments when I got upset because my costume didn't work out as well as I'd hoped it would do. Sitting there looking as though she'd been sucking on a lemon and generally bringing the mood down until I called oh to come and collect her, but then it had put such a dampener on the night that I ended up leaving early. And then the following morning she was prancing around in her mother of the groom sash that I'd got her, acting as if nothing had happened

 

[EmmyReece]

Feeling a bit better now that I've let that out

I can't get over the fact that we have less than 5 weeks to go until the wedding Seriously, how did that creep up on us?

I've been seriously organised this week and so far I have

• got a rough table plan sorted
• ordered the card, frame and record for the table plan
• finished off the flower girls pressies
• ordered presents for oh's dad, his cousin (who is doing a reading), my brother (who is doing the other reading)
• bought our cake topper
• bought the last underskirt for the bridesmaids
• ordered masks and magic slates for the childrens' favours, oh and little cellophane bags for sweets for the adults

I still need to

• sort my shoes and underwear for the day
• choose something for my mum
• put the favours and table plan together
• sort out final numbers
• get colour matched for a foundation for the day in case I end up having to do my own makeup
• probably more stuff, but I'm having major thinking block at the moment

 

[Mummy May]

You will look amazing on your day whether you lose weight or not, and Chris loves and is marrying you for ou, not how big or small you are. Huggssss. Wow well done on the organising, you're doing brill! Xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

I just feel a bit frustrated that I could have been feeling better about myself than this

I forgot to add that we've also bought the guest book and this, which I'm over the moon about

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/27111889...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I think I'm going to make a list of all the little bits that we still need to buy and try to get them crossed off as I need gel pens for the guest book, a present for Chris' usher, a present from me to Chris, haribo for the children and a small selection of retro sweets for the adults

 

[Mummy May]

I do know what you mean! Fingerprint trees are very pretty but fingerprints gross me out lol! I'm weird I know! Lists are very good, I have lists of lists! Xx

 

[EmmyReece]

I need to remember to get wet wipes from poundland so people can clean the ink off their hands

 

[Mummy May]

Don't, it will be hilarious to see what people have been touching

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Oh god you have too. There'll be one poor sod who didn't wipe it off before she pulled her knickers out of her bum - and it'll probably be mil

I'm so sorry she dragged your hen party down Hun. Try not to let it ruin your memories of your night. Will we get to see some pics? I hope so!

Hun maintaining your weight for two years I know isn't where you wanted to be but it could be much much worse I gained a stone between feb and April! Just get your wedding out of the way and don't worry about it. Enjoy every second and get back on it after - I'll be right here to kick you up the bum and get you going web you're ready

Massive hugs xx

 

[EmmyReece]

I've actually got my backside into gear and started a new weightloss diary

 

[Lil_Pixie]

You mean on bnb or on paper?

The pics are lovely - looks like you had a wonderful time. What was the massive drink??

 

[Mummy May]

Yeah I like the look of the massive drink too haha. It looks like an amazing night and ill pixie is very right Emmy, you could have put weight on in that time so well done on not you're making me want to do weddings things but I'm still to excited about my honeymoon lol I've been looking at parking and airport hotels xx

 

[EmmyReece]

On b&b, it's linked in my siggy, Losing Weight For A 2014 BFP

The massive drink was called strawberry laces. I think it had malibu and something else in, with different fruit juices. The first few sips were VERY strong

 

[Mummy May]

Sounds beautiful!!!!! Xxx

 

[Tarkwa]

Oh hun, forget about mil2b being silly - just remember all the great things from your hen night! Looks like you had a crazy time. Don't worry about leaving early. My hen night wrapped up nice and early and we all came back to my house for a wee drinkie then it was bedtime.

Can't wait for the photos of the big day!

I've sent you a private message about your weight loss my lovely.

The finger print trees are lovely my friend had one at her daughter's naming day. Her name is Autumn so the inks were yellow, red and orange. The hen night looks like it was lots of fun, sorry MIL dragged it down. And you are stunning don't worry about your weight, you will look perfect on your day and like Mummy May says, he's marrying for you, not how you look (or think you look as you are gorgeous)

 

[Tarkwa]

I've not sent it - I'll wait until after the wedding hun.
