Can't remember if I said but I picked the marriage license up a week ago so need to ring the priest and go and see him. Need to sit and discuss what we need to pick and things for the ceremony, hymns, readings etc.

Will try ring this afternoon and see if I can speak with him. He runs services at two churches a few times a week so he's always really hard to get hold of! xxx

I'm also wondering what to do about makeup. It would be lovely to have someone come in and do my makeup and the maids too but at £200 I think it's really steep and I don't know wether to just do my own??!!

I would highly recommend getting your makeup done! On the day when you have you and your bridesmaids all.trying to get ready and use mirrors it could be a nightmare! Plus its nice to feel pampered on your wedding day. I paid £240 for four of us to have hair AND makeup done. And she is amazing at what she does too!

I'm paying 200 (100 for trial 100 on day) for just my hair and make up, bridesmaids are doing their own as its so expensive!

I'm bridesmaid in Nov and paying for my own hair and make up.
I would def get yours done - its your special day!xx

Well i've spoken with my sister and told her how much it is to get mine done. £70+ for day and £40 for trial just for me.

She is happy to do my makeup, I just need to invest in some decent makeup, which I've needed for a while now anyway. I don't wear a lot of make up and never have so it just seems like a lot of money.

My sister said she will do her makeup and my other bridesmaid and my mum too.

I have paid for a hairdresser though to do me my two bridesmaids and my mum which is costing £210

Honestly, stick wedding infront of something and the cost tripples. My hairdresser charges £25 for hair ups if its not a wedding!! xxx

Meeting priest again on Wednesday at 7pm

We can give him the marriage license and complete our nuptial forms and then get on with picking readings, hymns etc.

Suits are picked. Hubs looks sooo handsome!! He's still debating on getting an ivory cravat rather than purple so then he's distinguished from the groomsmen. The jacket is navy and pants are grey. He went with best man, I think he did really well!! He decided on tails in the end as they felt much nicer on. Eeeep exciting stuff!!

It's all coming together nicely for you now. It's going to fly by.

Lovely! My hubby had an ivory waistcoat and the others had a navy one to match the suits so that my DH looked slightly different to the others

 

[Charlotteee]

The suit shop said they don't do the same colour waistcoats as the jackets or we would have done that xxx

So mission bride body has restarted. I was doing so well up until september when I had my gallbladder removed. I'd lost a stone and a half and was comfortably in size 14 clothes, now i'm back in 16s and i'm so annoyed. But calorie counting started yesterday and went back running last night and did 3 mile. Hoping to be a size 12 before we go to magaluf. 5 months to lose 2 stone. Very do-able if I put in the effort!!

 

[smileyfaces]

Oh yes defo doable! I lost 3st in 3 months on slimming world in 2014 without really trying too hard! (I've put every pound and more of it back on though )

So last night we met with the priest again. He’s given us some liturgy to read through, we need to pick one reading and a psalm from the Old Testament which we can pick someone to read and one from The Gospel which he will read. We also need to pick three or four bidding prayers. He is very nice and lenient, said we can do and have whatever we like really, it’s our big day. We’ve picked the Old Testament reading and responsorial Psalm just have to pick the rest before we meet with him again on 1st June.

Save the dates are being delivered tomorrow so this weekend we can glue the bows on and magnets on the back and get them sent out next week!!

Also – I’ve found a picture of the inside of the church!! It’s beautiful
