So tomorrow is D-Day. The dress is being ordered. I am way bigger than what I wanted to be when ordering it so I am going to see if they can order it in a standard size - the size that I tried on in September, I'm not sure if they will but I would rather they do that than get one bigger and I lose too much detail having it taken in.

I am so so excited to try my dress on again!! xx

Again I can't think of anything major i'm missing tbh xx

 

[CRWx]

You're so organised!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Definitely organised I have a friend getting married in December and they haven't done anything I'd be going mad by now.

Looking at the list you seem to have most things done I think ... It's been that long for me I can barely remember! x

So Saturday I ordered my wedding dress.

I am so disgusted with myself for letting myself get back up to the weight I was at at the beginning when we got engaged.

I have had to order my dress in a size 20 I'm a 16 in normal clothes.

Magaluf is 19 weeks and 3 days away, I want to lose 2 stone by then. 3 stone by the wedding. I'm re-joining slimming world on Wednesday.

 

[kbwebb]

Are bridal shop sizing different then? I only ask because I've ordered a size 14 dress, I'm a size 8 in normal clothing (the dress needs taking in a lot but was on sale!) I've been panicking about if it can be altered that much, but maybe it won't need as much altering if the sizing is different does that make sense? also did you buy your underskirt from the bridal shop or somewhere else? I've only just realised I tried my dress on with one but they never mentioned me buying one.

 

[Charlotteee]

I have bought my underskirt from pre-loved. It cost me £8.

The bridal shop have said my dress can be taken in by three sizes and I won't lose any detail, and yes they advise that you buy one size bigger than what you normally are xx

 

[kbwebb]

That's such a relief thank you!!
I've gone through your to do list and think you've remembered everything.. if not I must be missing things too

 

[Charlotteee]

Hayfever is definitely kicking my ass today. Look like the elephant man with puffy eyes lol!! xx

 

[smileyfaces]

Oh dear. Good thing about a February wedding is at least you won't look like elephant man on your wedding day

 

[Charlotteee]

You are correct!! Unless we get some freakishly mad weather haha xx

 

[Tasha]

I didn't realise you're going to Magaluf for your hen. I've just got back from Palma Nova/Torrenova which is all obviously the same resort. It's perfect for a hen holiday, chilled in the day time with beautiful beaches and then night time it's full on. There were quite a few hen and stag parties there

 

[Charlotteee]

I saw on facebook, looked like you had a lovely time. I am slightly worried I'm going to get drug swabbed now though

Which hotel did you stay in? We are staying in Torrenova at the Universal Hotel Florida xxx

 

[Charlotteee]

Also - 9 Months today xxx

 

[CRWx]

Ahhhhh! Getting so close now

 

[Charlotteee]

So it's 8 and a bit months and I'm not sure when I should start making all my DIY bits? As in Invites, Flowers, Room decoration bits and personalised coathangers??!
