Im sure the girlies will be getting crafty now.Who would of guessed you would set fire to the fabric.Very clever.Did you have any thought on the handle? I think some crystal pins will be enough i love what you have done xx

Girls, yankee candles do a smelly sachet named wedding day you could hang one from the hanger JUST in case. I got myself a wedding day candle and the sachet and placed it in whilst in the suitscase. xx

Ok ill add my two pennies worth ladies 1.Dont sweat the small stuff,remember a bridzilla is not the best way to create happy wedding memories for yourself and guests!!! 2.You booked a DW dont let anyone ruin the dreams and ideas you have in your head. Ok now what id do again Im glad we deceided to stay in the villa with our families and friends its not something we will repeat but the daily dramas helped to make every day different Im glad we did the vista im off to Paul and Marias wedding t-shirts everyone loved them i didnt do the OTT bags as we were all in the one villa bar 7 guests I loved my dress( pronovois, lace) it didnt need steaming infact whilst getting my hair done i noticed it was in a heap in the bottom of the bag.Im glad i didnt blow the budget cos we only wear the dress for a few hours.You will look fabulous i promise x I loved all the decorations i took down it was worth the effort.I wish id made the effort to bring some home though I loved my clip in hair extensions and this was one of the hardest but best decisions i made. I wish we had drunk the champagne id bought at the airport before we left the villa not a biggy we drunk it when we got back.I would of liked some piccies. Ok what i wish i hadnt done Right now i wish id left one guest at home. No i wish id put her in a boat and sent her far far away.If i just say she tried her hardest to ruin our wedding week im not saying the wedding, the wedding week and honeymoon.The result is she said i looked like miss piggy in my wedding photos !!! this from a woman who is a uk size 22. I wish id been a little more detailed in how i wanted things set up .The vase i wanted as my sand ceremony was used to hold the orchids that should of been in the goldfish bowls on the tables.It meant there was a break in the service whilst it was retrieved. I did tell the staff but they obviously wernt paying atttention I also wish my brother who took our photos had taken pictures of my dress hanging up.He took pictures of our rings but kept them in the boxes i wanted them placed in flowers etc. I said i wanted chilled un posed piccies but i wish Paul and i had more piccies of us together.Thats my fault cos he would of done what i asked of him We really didnt party!!!!! we had lots to eat and drink and then sat around chatting the kids(my big kids) were doing shots lol Im glad i made the effort with the wedding music but im not sure the guests really listened to it. I could of spent alot more money but i think we stuck a good balance.If you know this is a new experience for your guests then you really shouldnt kill yourselves with the extras that we see and then want.Your guests will be bowled over with whatever you do for them. I didnt do invites or OTT bags the t shirts and the taxi to the airport pashminas and fans for the woman was it.I know no one expected any more. I was happy with the mac makeup i bought and it feels good to go to work now wearing my wedding makeup lol AHHH FALSE EYELASHES get someone to glue them on who has some clue on how to do it lol also someone whos not handicapped with acrylic nails lol I really was a chilled bride chatting waving and delighted BUT had i been a little more anxious i wouldnt be writing half of the i wish id ...... comments Finally make friends with the etsy website for hundreds and hundreds of wedding ideas use the buy/sell freebie/link on here i got my fans veil TOJ all here saving me a small fortune When i look back to our wedding and wedding week i have happy memories im sad that someone tried to ruin those memories and yes there are some things id change not much and the things that i made the most effort with were worth every single moment.Im glad i wrote our wedding ceremony and vows there wasnt a dry eye lol.There were tears of laughter and tears of joy and i feel incredibly lucky to have had the wedding of my dreams with the love of my life. Enjoy every single moment and if theres one person you think may let you down leave them at homeThat dosent include the mother in law though sorry xx

Oh i forgot no i didnt get my dress from light in a box.Many moons ago someone did post a dress they bought from them and it looked very close to the original.I never got to see the girl in piccies i waited and waited for her review but never saw it. My dress is a pronovois UK size 14 and im going to part with it girls if you know anyone looking for a bargain x oh named desert x Drs in 45mins shower time xx

Janapana sounds like Sheffield was messy lol Yes girls its nice to be free from the nutters in my life.I missed it for a while but as my best friends mum said youd miss a headache if you had it for so long.Its a shame it all happened as they did bring Paul and i together they just spoilt the whole fairy story by really showing there brattish spoilt bad attitude when it mattered most to us. Its nice to know the phone isnt going to ring at any given moment or a knock on the door with them both coming in wearing there shoes lol xx Life feels good at the moment fingers crossed the wife remains quiet.x Ive two days off after a visit to the drs i think i may take myself to Bluewater crimbo shopping

BUMP BUMP XX

Herbie i think it was me who said about the parasols again ebay had some good ones.I actually got mine in the village.When i saw them there was no going back.Along with my choice of groom and dress they were up there with my best purchases lol Vicki i spent hours pondering about ordering a dress from light in a box i hope that when your shoes arrive you will be thrilled. Josie well done with the wedding card box.You do realize youve added to everyones want lists lol x Herbie i lovvvvvvvee the boarding passes i so wanted to make these for everyone but am so dumb when it comes to the computer .Well donex Im not sure who asked if the madness had stopped the answer is kind of !!!!!!!!! Paula the ex friend sent me a very nasty text which made me so mad i replied with you think i behave like a 1 yr old and then fired some home truths.To which a reply came back of,someone told me you looked like miss piggy in your wedding pictures and your a strange woman being married three times and we cant see this marriage lasting.I told her unhappy her husband is and told her to look in his phone book.Her hubby knew it had been sent cos he had gone to see Paul with a letter of opology.He was shocked at the text id fired back but had a chance to make up some lies to cover his butt.He said shes lost the plot has fallen out with her family and is constantly flipping at him then going off and humming!!!! he said its like the film the shinning.Ill make somink shine for her if she decides to come back with another barrage of insults!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the ex wife its all qt on the western front.Pauls daughter Amy said that her mum was worried we would go for custody.Paul hasnt spoken to her since the very first phone call we still think she is going through the CSA We are enjoying the peace and quiet for the moment xx

OH Nicy loovvveeee the starfish bouquet thingy i can see why your in love with it.One more thing ticked off.Did you sort your dress? x

Yes a uk 14 which the dress is is a 10 in the US.I wear a UK12 in normal clothes.

Im glad you found out now i had a hint a friend was going to cause trouble and she did have the hump maybe two weeks before we flew to Greece.When i asked her husband what id done he said nothing but i could hear her in the background saying "tell her" he was cutting her off but nothing more was said She saved her dramas and tantrums for whilst we were away.My bestfriends mum and stepdad stayed at the same apartments.She was controlling and they did everything she wanted !!!! I picked my best friends mum and dad up on the wedding day and they spent the mornin with us.We had said the four of them could stay at the villa on the night of the wedding.She is fat and lazy and asked my brother to give up the sofa for her leaving the other for her hubby.When my brother said no she decided to go home to ther apartment.Which was fine it was her holiday.The next day we all went to the capital for the day.She rang whilst we were having lunch and asked rudly when was i bringing her guests back WTF. She was rude to them when they returned and had the hump with us.We planned to take both couples out whilst on our honeymoon on different days.The night we were asking them to come out with us she really had the hump. After making seperate dinner plans she got the rel hump because we went to dinner with P & R.It wasnt planned we bumped into them and even called them to come join us when they walked by.She galloped along the road and from that moment she made her own holiday a misery and tried to ruin ours.We called in the next morning to ask if they wanted to come out he asked her we heard no reply he said no she didnt want to come so off we went.The next day we took p & r out and my phone rang 5/6 times i never answered. From then on she ignored us she stayed in her room for two days her hubby hired a car and she still stayed in bed, Two weeks after we were home she rang to opologise said she didnt have the hump with us !!! she felt used bt p&r and felt we only wanted to spend time with them.We went out for the day and had dinner with them once apart from the wedding day, She said it was the others she had the hump with and shes depressed.We had made our mind up before we came home to cut her from our lives. I told her i didnt want to be nasty but it was our wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!and told her to leave it. Her hubby who was my friend for years sti;; called around and has been saying for the last year hes at the end of his rope with her and is looking to get out SOOOOOOOOOO TUESDAY i get a text telling me im behaving like a 1 yr old telling my friends she ruined my wedding I replied no u tried to ruin it and told her it was her that was childish etc. Oh, she also ran away one evening was gone for over an hour cos she didnt get her own way. Then i got more texts saying people said i looked like miss piggy in my wedding pictures (i had clip in extensions) that i was a strange woman cos id been maried 3 times and she didnt think it would last, At the time i was shaking in anger and sending my final reply her hubby was at Pauls workplace with a letter opologising as he knew nothing of what she was saying My reply was explosive and having told her a few home truths about her personal hygiene she cleans her teeth with a face cloth i to;d her my marriage would probably out last hers i told her her hubby was looking at other women and had a nuses number in his phone from when his dad was sick.She never even went to see him i told her if shed got off her size 22 arse shed of met her. I pre warned her hubby as i called into Pauls work to tell him what she had been saying and her hubby was there having given Paul the letter I havnt heard a thing since The moral of this story is if you have any hint someone could wreck havoc on your special day make sure they stay at home. That dosent include mother in laws though t

Girls make me an offer if your interesed im a size 12 in normal clothes.I will get Paul to put it on ebay at the weekend if no one is interested x

Oh Josie im a huge fan of the parasols.I used ours as decor and everyone had there photos taken with them.They travelled there and back unscathed.I would deffo go this route. Apart from walking down the aisle when else will the girls need them.They make fab props and bring drama and colour x

BUMP BUMP any takers

Some key points i missed im happy to ship to ship to America and Canada.We have a paypal account so theres no problems there xx

I can only imagine that im you washed it straight after in the shower and hung it by the tabs it would be fine.I think anyone giving you an opinion i.e the bridal store are going to be very cautious.Good luck enjoy your time you lucky thing.xx

I purchased this wonderful dress via etsy and now after our wedding have made the decision to part with it.It is made of white bridal tulle and chloe is 6 yrs old.That said she is very tall.I am happy to ship to America or Canada the buyer paying for shipping.I would like £ 35.00 which is less than half of what i paid.The orchid is clipped on and i had plans to use that in her hair she went with the flower in her hair belonging to a guest.I was so relaxed i let it go.PM me if your interested xxx

Michelle the csa have made changes since they first come in i unfortunatly was given the run around as i started my claim the month they came into force.From what i can understand now to simplyfy it they just do the 25% thing with a reduction for the amount of nights you care for them in any one year.She has decieded they cant be bothered to drop the kids at pauls mums anymore Which means an hour drive each way.I will find out this weekend if they are both working.I will play detective cos i know she worked last christmas time and was paid in tesco vouchers.If shes still doing it i will report her to the social for fiddeling the system Im angry beyond belief but to fight for custody would cost us thousands am i prepared to get ourselves deeper in debt? i dunno im going to find out if they will be worse off if they are out of work or if they get to keep all the money if they are on benefits.Paul is trying to play it down cos my nerves are at me. She very ruthless shes with her dead best friends husband and rubbed Pauls nose in it for five months before he could take no more. You are right about presents not being everything but they hve so little from home he smashes everything or its sold on ebay its nice for them to have nice things here. I couldnt believe it a few monthsw ago i said to Amy where are your hairbands clips etc you know girly bits and she said at 12 years old we dont have any. Life is going to be harder for them aswell.Jamie is from the same mould as his mother Pauls dad bought him some scalectrix cars at a boot fair only a few weeks ago and hes bragged scott(step father) owes him 90 quid !!!for selling them on ebay.Amy wont let them in her room os they rummage and sell her things. Im so mad to have to be working 11 hour days for this woman that could easily make a good jeremy Kyle guest. Paul cancelled her payment for the 12th and has had it paid into his isa account so when it is all sorted we have the money there.Hes rhoping she will be desperate and cave in i do hope so ahhhhhhhhhhhh Oh and my ex pays me £5.88 for three and Scott the stepdad has a daughter he sdosent pay for.Im sure its a case of flogging the willing horse. Thanks for allowing me to rant lol

Hi girls Ive been lurking for a while with a heavy heart Pauls ex wife has contacted the CSA because she wants more money.Paul and i are sick with worry as we are already very over committed.I do feel a little better than i did yesterday but life is going to be very tough for us.I dont think i ever told you when we were first together i had my own home which had a small mortgage which would of been paid off in 2013.I sold that and we bought our home together and had an extension built to make another bedroom for Pauls son. Our mortgage IS 178000 interest only we have a car loan and credit cards.The CSA dont take any of this into account they just say they want 25% of his salary after tax etc.So basically one pay packet in four.We feel sick with worry and theres nothing we can do.She waited till we were married and Jamie moved down to her in June before pulling this trick.The most heart breaking thing is the kids wont see it her other half smokes drinks and gambles.They have blown almost £200000 from the sale of his wife who got killed payout and the pay off she got from the break upp of there marriage.They are both useless she started working last year doing 10 hours a week !!!!!! .Im working 50 as is Paul.We wont be in a position to buy the girls anything and christmas will be very poor.They loved coming to us on boxing day cos we always bought them nice things next,monsoon etc.I think now they will be lucky to have £40 each. Pauls mum and dad kindly paid £900 into our account yesterday because they knew we were both in a state bless them and my mum has said shell send me some euros bless her.We are lucky to have such sweet generous kind parents. On a positive note we are well we are not sick and Pauls boss said he will help us I so badly want to give her a piece of my mind the thing i want to say the most is " there are residents at Howletts (local zoo) that have better parenting skills than you) My brother suggested we try and get custody of them as she is so useless and Paul did text her with that idea she didnt come back with anything. She had the hump because i didnt send the clothes back we bought Chloe for the wedding. He failed to tell her that she arrived with what she had on her body and a pink belt a pair of grotty flipflops she was wearing and a head full of nits.She didnt even pack a toothbrush. Amy came with her toilet bag minus enough sanitry towels and the clothes she stood up in AHHHHHHHHHHHH I COULD SCREAM On a lighter note you all are making progress with your shopping Loving the dyed shoes fab colours Loving the wooden bridesmaids gifts Ive posted my wedding leftovers on the buy sell giveaway forum im going to add chloes flowergirl tutu if anyone is interested. Oh and finally my wedding pictures are up Sorry to post such a negative post not good first thing in the morning xx

Yay finally the pictures are showing up xx

Mimi73 Thankyou i really love it because its differnt from the dress that most girls pick. I hope to sell it and then buy a ring to sit alongside my wedding band. I really couldnt bear to wrap it and put it in the roof, id rather someone else fall in love as i did xx

You can see here the lace work is very open and also the bling i had added.The bottom of the dress is very unusual it has a tulle layer thats pleated.Everyone that saw it was bowled over. Next up is the bouquet im looking for £45.00 its perfect and would be very simple to fit in with other orchid items. I purchased a veil long ivory veil from a fellow member that i didnt actually wear.Had i worn it i would of needed someone to help carry it its that long.I wish i could remember who it was from sorry i cant but im looking for £25 which is less than i paid.It is still in the bag it arrived in from america. I guess i should say im 5ft 4 but wore three inch platform shoes. I havnt had the dress cleaned as i found out all they do is wash them in the machine !!!!! i would wear tthr dress as it is if im honest.If your shorter than me you will need the dress hemed which would remove any dusty marks anyway

Here goes girls im ready to sell the items from our wedding First up and after much toing and froing ive made the decision to part with my dress. Its a pronovois british size 14 named desert.Its discontinued now but i fell in love with it hanging in the shop.If you are looking for something different that has the wow factor this may be for the dress for you.It retailed at £1,250 but im looking for £400 i added the bling to the bustline that i found on an american website.It was profesionally sewn on by the wedding shop.If you google the dress you will find it did have a chiffon puff sleeve that i hated so i paid to have it removed.Of course i can send it to America. It travelled really well i just rolled the bottom up and laid it in the case.There were no creases infact it was/is a perfect wedding gown

Sorry you didnt get the news you were hoping for.Hes in the right place now to get better soon xx

Hi im not looking to buy your dress but it was one of my favourites.Having looked at the video i loovvveeed your dress you had on in the firsst few piccies xx You have good taste xxx

Herbie Fingers crossed your dad has good news today xxxxx
