Girls i ordered 16 t shirts for our wedding party just paid postage i did luggage tags from buisness cards hole punched them and added ribbon.I used brochures as order of service got pens a cap and have ordered 10 large magnets with one of our wedding photos which doubles up as a calendar as wedding gift thankyous.The magnets have cost me less than £5.00. You can do repeat orders and there are always offers.I was delighted with everything i did want to order tote bags but they were the one thing i coulnt get really cheaply.I might look to find one for my mum as a crimbo gift with a wedding picture of her and my sons though

Im glad your not waiting long for the results and working for the drs your mum will deffo know how to make the system work to your dads advantage. I guess now our parents get there own back when they are poorly for all the years of worry we gave and continue to give.Its not good to know someone so strong normally is feeling poorly fingers crossed you get some positive news on Wednesday and your dad feels better to celebrate his 70th at the weekend. I think i should of planted a forest of seeds to get an AHR but your right itsw not to late i did mention it to Pal yesterday in the car and he just said we were gunna do that if we went by ourselves to Hawaii but you choose to have everyone there and we cant really offord it  Of course hes right !!!! I had a phone call of opology from Paula the fat ex friend yesterday for her behaviour at our wedding and whilsg we were on honymoon. shes depressed and said she was sorry but said she didnt have the hump with us but with my best friends mum and stepdad.Although she spoke to them not us. I feel guilty because i didnt really cut her any slack when she said does that mean we cant be friends go out call round etc i struggled with my answer and told her our friendship would never be the same and to leave it at the moment and that last week id of ffed her up in heaps and it wasnt just my decision it was Pauls. Oh and the ex wife is playing games did i tell you Paul had to collect them from Deal even though they drop the kids down at the weekend before we flew out.We havnt seen them since an just expected them to be dropped at Pauls mums when Pauls mum rang yesterday to say they hadnt been dropped off Paul rang the exes mobile and amy answered and said were not coming cos they cant offord it WTF When we realized that the kids were literally arriving with NO clothes for the week which resulted with me doing a mad shopping dash and he wouldnt drop the kids up cos he couldnt be bothered Paul rang the bank then wrote a letter dropping her money for the week.Hes not mean in any way but shes a real useless mother.I had to buy amy two bras at Gatwick cos she didnt have any on top of ALL the suitcase she full wed bought her.Did i tell you we had to go to the chemist in Zante and buy nit lotion for Chloe.She was alive with nits walking around ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On our wedding day i spent about an hour combing out all off her hair and was shocked about the amount that we were finding.Paul had rang Mandy three times during the week before we flew out asking her to de bug her because she would be uncomfortable in the heat.When i put the lotion on chloe didnt know what i was doing she had never had lotion on her hair before. SOOOOOOOO we think she thinks that Paul will go pick them up but he wont we wont have them next week as we have a party to go to and my mum is flying in and he thinks she will get fed up with thm and need a break but because she now has all three living with her now she thinks she has all the cards.My mum said Amy wont mind for a while cos she has a suitcase full of wonderful clothes to wear bless her. I feel really down about it all and having worked everyday since we came home and done almost 95 hours in two weeks i have just sat on the sofa and burst into tears. I really wish we could do our wedding again UMMM COULD I QUIETLY START PLANNING A WEDDING RENEWAL IN HAWAII NEXT YEAR I see now why people plan honymoon babies lol -

THIS IS ME WITH MY DEAR MUM ON OUR WEDDING DAY. My dress was super comfotable light easy to pack i literaly rolled the bottom up and folded it in half and laid it in the case. It was a Provonois named desert i added the bling to the bust line. It was different and i felt wonderful which is all that matters at the end of the day I can honestly say putting on my dress and feeling confident was a fabulous feeling.I didnt get a good photo of me at the wedding shop but always looked through these pages and whooped and wooed at all the fabulous dresses so wanted to finaly post my wedding dress picture xx -

Herbie sorry to hear about your poor dad do you know what tests he had because obviously hes feeling blimming rough to actually stumble.Lets hope you get some answers very soon if you dont as an ex nhs worker it pays to make a polite nuisance of yourself.If he had scans and things they can be reported on very quickly and if your sick they usually are but dont ever think that no news is good news and do nothing.Ring the hospital department he was at and ask when the results will be available.Most people just wait but you really shouldnt if you are in any way concerned about your dads health. We often found the people that should worry dont and those that have nothing wrong about are asking all the questions.I dnot want to worry you but know how my parents work.The older generation live with drs at a differnt level to us.They are human and have the awful habit of not always seeing the whole picture. I guess what i could of said is take control of the situation and get some answers asap to put your minds at rest or the meds to make your dad strong again sending you hugs and get well messages to your dad xx -

Thanks Karen i did all that it worked for the few i posted in the any uk bride page xx thanks anyway hunni xxx -
Im with the others here dress 1 is so much better than the dress that is still speaking to you.I wouldnt even think of going the knock off route it wont be the same as the dress you tried be honest with yourself it CANT BE. I tried lots of dresses in my search and did try on couture dresses and yes one still stands out as feeling wonderful on but you add the heat the sand and everyting else that goes with a destination wedding and you will be stunning in the dress you own and being very frank and honest the best you can hope for on your return is that it cleans up nicly you sell it or you package it away to bring out in years to come in the hope that a daughter will fall in love with it and decide to wear it.The reality is more like you get it frm the roof your daughter screws her face up tells you she wouldnt be seen dead in it cos i know thats how i felt when my mum bought her dress down. Yes you get to wear it again and you already know the dress you have will hold up much better. Just a tip i found out that wedding dresses get laundered (washed) when you send them away. My dress got a little marked on the bottom from me walking through some beer when i took it off i ran the shower head onto the stain and it came out Post a piccie of yourself in the dress im sure you will look a million dollors xx

Girls all your fb requests are done x For us there was time restrictions on when we could put our papers in.By that i mean the registry office here had to do there bit no more than three months before the wedding. Just a thought here they were very much on the ball give your local registry office a ring and they should know what you all need Good luck its very nerve jangerling Enjoy the wedding piccies xxx -

Hi Ladies your all cracking on with your planning.I thought if you booked your weddin through a travel agent the wedding department asked you for all the paperwork and they sorted it. For us going to Greece we needed birth certificates apostilized as well as decree absolutes we had to sen d them to London then fax them to Greece and then take the originals in total it was £178 for all the apostilized stuff then 200 euro for the mayor to do his bit 250 for sandra to do her bit the wedding planner who guided us as far as when to apply etc and then another £300 to have everything translated and three copies of the marriage certificates which we bought home with us. It added up but if wed done it here at the registry office it was £500 so it was well worth the extra. It is scary trying to pull it all off but thats where Sandra played her part.  Janapana dont give the minx an inch to move Paula the fat ex friend in my wedding pics tried her hardest to spoil our wedding week and honymoon give her enough rope to hang herself.I will never have Paula step foot inside our home again. Its bugging me shes not been in touch so i can give her a gob full but boy she can wait !!!!!!!!!! Past history tells me she feels the victim and another two weeks max and she will be intouch The Wedding photos wont upload in the post your wedding engagement forum so girls if you want to view them all i guess if you have facebook you can view them there Maria Newnham.enjoy, i need to learn how to make a photo book with them all -

I was very happy with my mac purchases.I did buy the eye primer but didnt pick up the other primers.I bought the foundation and powder and blusher and i was happy with everything i do wish i bought lip gloss but hey ho i felt so beautiful.The eye make up was fabulous and i was very brave with the colours.In the back of my mind i thought if i go with hair extensions (i did) i needed to continue the look and felt if i went muted natural it would look mismatched. Just a ikle tip if you go for the faslse lashes get someone without arcylic nails to put them on my little girly struggled as did i.That said the eyelashes are fab

Thank you all girlies Ive had a stressful day so much so ive banned a customer from eating with us ever again BUT i came home to a huge wedding card on the mat from all of the boys and then Josh and Hayley are telling me to close my eyes so i know i must have a pressie. Im like "my eyes are closed but i dont want a cat" and to my relief and pleasure theyve been to Bluewater and had a wedding photo blown up huge and put onto a canvas.Its the one we both loved of me kissing Paul when the registra said "you can now kiss the groom" Janapana i loved the wowsers trousers comment you make me laff x -

AHHHHH THANKS GIRLS Kerry my dress is a pronovois named desert it was perfect and i didnt feel hot at all.I am going to sell it and i think.I may bUy a piece of jewelry with the money i cant see the point in storing it in the roof.Maybe a ring to sit along side my wedding ring. I have so many more photos ill try and get some more posted asap. Oh and of course the review ........................... On a slightly sour note Paula one of our guests behaved so badly during the two weeks she will never stepfoot inside our home again.She is the one who had the hump about somink a few weeks before we flew out.I feel relieved its happened just a little miffed that she felt it was ok to behave as she did at a special time for us.Hey ho our lives will be less stressful x -

Josie the next four months will fly by.What with Christmas we were really feeling the pinch but honestly things do work out.The sale of one of Pauls cars and the generosity of our parents meant we came home with money.You will receive cash gifts aswell wink wink xx -

I bought the extensions on the day i had my hair coloured i went straight into Maidstone and got the girl to place them in.I paid £10 extra i think for her to clip them in and then curl it.I did feel a bit like miss piggy walking around Maidstone with them in but no one fell on the floor laughing.I got my eyebrows waxed and then went home where Paul was dumb struck.I started growing my hair when we booked our wedding and up till then id always worn my hair in a very short pixie crop.The lady told me that the curl would drop as it was new hair so to use loads of product in it.When i got home i took them out curled them really tight sprayed them like mad and didnt take them outta the bag till the wedding day.Patsy the dark haired girl in our piccies(joshys best friend) spent all morning curling hair lol.With mine she clipped them in and then curled my own hair with the already curled hair we spayed it like mad and it lasted all day. I would deffo recommend them even to add body not just length. I didnt feel like miss piggy on our wedding day lol Ive just tried posting more images in the post your wedding/engagement section but have an error -

Morning girlies I went into work last night and had a fab surprize a few of the girls jumped out on me and covered me with confetti presented me with a huge bouquet and let me into work. Once inside i was given a bag of gifts which included a magnum of moet in a moet cooler £45 of beauty vouchers for me £45 of next vouchers for Paul.A photo frame id of picked myself (very important lol) a garland of white butterflies and a box of bath bombs. I only started working there in March so im very shocked at everyones generosity.As a manager a job ive not done before i do worry that they may pretend to like me lol. That said im an easy going boss lol. Right here goes im going to try and post some piccies YAY
