I will have to do a part two as there is so much missing.  I have no piccies of the rings my shoes the sand ceremony stuff my earrings the airport tshirts the luggage tags pens brochures(good ole vista) The photo booth table stuff.The tears of joy the paper parasols The boys in there baby blue linen trousers and white linen shirts and last but not least H2b in his suit and birkenstocks  Oh i can tell you what music we are having for the ceremony though My dad isnt coming (miserable ole sod) no hard feelings though,you dont work as hard as he has providing for us to reach retiremant age and then have to do what you dont want to. With him in mind we have picked enyas watermark followed by Frank sinatras come fly with me he loves Frank aswell as does Ryans girlfriend who helped me pick Next is Buddy Hollies True Love Ways Pauls choice Then M.J The girl in my life i sobbed when i played it on you tube. Next the girls will walk to disneys a whole new world Im walking to Shania Twains from this moment on During the sand ceremony were playing disneys under the sea instrumental And finally were walking out as Mr and Mrs to Toy stories Youve gotta friend in Me. Girls ive thoroughly enjoyed the whole wedding planning i dont know what i will do when its over for most of you the next step is planning your babies for me that time has passed. I feel very emotional if you could see me now i can hardly see the keyboard Huge hugs and thanks to Tammy and the mods happy wedding planning. sniff sniff xxx   -

Sorry girlies youve just met my mum i found this piccie and had to post she was so very sick last year i remember my dad telling me not to get on the plane back home whilst at the gate because the hospital had rung and said shed had a bad turn and they didnt think shed make it.I remember the sheer panic terror and sadness and whilst in the back of the taxi feeling like id lost my mum and feeling i couldnt get married without her.I cant wait for her to arrive here next Sunday.I feel very lucky she had a normaly fatal heart attack as the whole team of drs were just coming into her room.My wedding day will be perfect cos shes there.Whilst in Dublin for what seemed like forever with my mum being badly cared for at the hospital she gave us 100 euro and said go shopping dont sit here i cant escape.We came back with Amys bridesmaids dress she loved it. -

Our colours are hot pink and turquoise hence the ribbon the starfish charms were an ebay purchase. Starfish to hold our rings I wanted starfish as place cards BUT they are so expensive i may get some in Greece as i did find some out there.I kept it simple just tying the ribbon our rings will sit on one of the fingers. -
Ive got to start by Thanking each and everyone of you for helping me to create the wedding of our dreams with so many ideas that our guests will be bowled over by.I will have to add more to my post later as i dont have everything to hand.Time is running out lol. As a uk bride i stumbled upon this website whilst recovering from shoulder surgery.I was hooked from day one.I have borrowed stolen and even bought items from you girlies accross the pond and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your ideas.Im sure the other uk brides will agree we would not of been able to create such wonderful memories not only for ourselves but our guests as well. I proposed to Paul (leap year) the new years eve before we had had a few to drink and id dismissed the idea of being married again as ive been married twice.He got quite emotional and afterwards i just thought if the shoe had been on the other foot id of doubted his commitment etc hence my proposal.There was no ring exchange just a huge bunch of balloons delivered to his work place with will you marry me 2010 written on them Lets just say he was hugly embarrased.lol After much umming and arring we chose Greece as i wanted all our family there We will go to Hawaii one day We booked Peligoni and following a visit in June it lived up to my expectations www.peligoni.com SOOOOOOOOO In no order here come the piccies Raffia fans

Nicky,yer your right we do get married on the third.The stress has gone until i think of Pauls mum and dad.Our friends fly out next Sunday my mum and brother arrive next Sunday.I finish work next Sat with Tuesday off for my hair appointment and trip to town to get clip in extensions and Friday im going to start packing. The stress went when Paula came and helped me clean the house on Thursday which was really kind of her.Im thinking of asking her to come clean for me working 48 hrs a week dosent leave me with any disire to clean lol. We have, well i have, deceided to invite the youngsters around next Sunday when ill give them there luggage tags and t-shirts we will crack open some wine and have a few nibbles.It will be good to have the young ones around cos they dont stress they are just looking forward to the sun and party lol unlike the relics who are still in danger of loosing there nasal hair with there pound notes lol After all the cleaning my nails are a mess im going to see if i can get booked in next Monday (bank holiday) some where in town.My mum wants to hit the town she has withdrawal symptoms. Josie is it Maidstone tonight? Ive asked Josh and hes in town tell me who your dressed as and ill tell him to look out for you Im off now to find Louises review. -

Janapana your little princess looks beautiful and the flowers work perfectly.What good looking babies you have. Nicky I hope you are feeling better today its always good to have a duvet day Rather than a rant i thought id give you something to make you all smile.Youve got this to look forward to as your big day approaches.Yesterday as Paul was getting dressed for work.I start waving my hand around in my sleep saying "Thats it shes seen my dress" of course he thinks its hysterical and asks me who? To which i reply twice more, each time shouting even louder "Thats it shes seen my dress" This morning after a very busy day at work i do the same thing but this time i keep on repeating "Can someone seat the people on table 7"over and over I wonder what tommorow brings lol Just a heads up girls i tried to order from confetti.com earlier this week and finally made a telephone call to them.I got an answer phone message to say they have gone into liquidation. I hope none of you are waiting for things to arrive. Im out tonight with my ex work buddies who wanted to meet up before we fly out.  Soon to be macrae I hope you get a call today about the job.My youngest son had an interview they said they would call the following week.Three weeks later they ring and offer him a more junior position hes 18.He is going to speak to them in a couple of weeks when the lady gets back from her holiday. However her delay meant he found something with him earning £14k with no travel.I hope you are lucky xx fingers crossed xx       -

Janapana I love your song choices, oh penny lover. Â Waybuloo I gave up asking for Pauls help he has downloaded our music choices i posted them in an earlier thread BUT he did get it wrong lol Just as well i checked his work.When i was having a melt down over the weekend he thought it was my toe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However when i gave him that look !!!!!!!!!! and we need to talk he was all ears.His response was thats why i wanted to go away just the two of us and WE have done it all now ummmmm what he should of said was "Hunni youve worked incredibly hard creating the wedding of our dreams i love you so much it hurts and nothing will spoil the most precious magical day of our lives.Our wedding will exceed our guests expectations and i cant wait to spend the rest of my life with you" PAHAAAAAA no chance lol -
