Good Luck at the pic's, im sure scarlett will be fine :-) Fingers crossed xx We had a letter from our travel agent saying about the peso/dollar thing, but i think we'll take dollars anyway and see what happens... (Credit card in the pocket too just incase) x Thanks Josie...... Great help xxx Glad to see you popping back on now and agan xx

Does sound like a fab day out, i wouldnt mind doing it again at all.... not sure what were doing yet though, definatly do an excursion or 2 but need to discuss. Ordered my balloons, balloon ribbon, balloon weight boxes, favours, favour bags, cake dowels & pillars, starfish cutter (i ordering plain white wedding cake from M&S and going to do my own icing starfish for it) for my AHR on ebay last night :-) Im also half way through doing my post box, will post pix when done :-) x

T|hings coming on great... wish WC would email me, we fly out 8 weeks on Sun, so i know its to early at the mo, but i just want to try and get thing finalised :-) AHR coming together too, ordered my favours, balloons, cake dowels, cake pillars, starfish cutter ( for icing ) balloon ribbon, balloon weight boxes off ebay last night, am in the middle of making my "postbox" i will post pix when done :-) One month... ARGH... so excited x Awwwww, what ashame about your step daugheter not being able to go seeflowers :-( at least you have the eldest so they are not both cut out :-) x Hope you post pix of your vista stuff? :-) Great idea Virginia, packing the cases now, definatly a few less things to think about :-) The next month will fly x

Do you have the emails etc confirming what was promised to you? x

I finalised the payment on my hen weekend tonight!!! Whoo!!! 5 weeks 2 days to go :-) Cant wait now x

roo.... sending love and hugs, i just wish i could say or do something... as michelle has said, it will be good to be by her side... and then you can put them in their place!!!! Good luck chick x Yeah, maybe coz through CW, its different allowances? you should phone them and check, or see if they can do something, they can only say no!!! x Yea, its been 12 weeks today since i ordered so i will phone them friday :-) 28 weeks will fly... ARGH... mine will all be over then :*( Yeah, flying with Thomsons too, and have the same letter, it will also be coming with me!!! Haha x We usually like to take $1 & $5 dollar bills to tip with and then higher denominations for excursions etc.... as far as i know they still accept dollars so i will take them, i think, and my Credit card as a back up :-) x We swan with dolphins in Cuba and it was around $80pp so i cant imagine it being much more in Mexico and thats if it is more? Have a look at this... says $99, but that depends on the package, look around site, its quite good :-) http://www.dolphindiscovery.com/cancun-islamujeres/cancun-activities-dolphin-swim-adventure.asp xx

roo, sorry i dont know anything either medical :-( I really feel for you all though, having to go through this and at a time like this you'd think the NHS would have more of a clue and be more of a help and support... the stories in the papers the last few weeks are true then, the care for patients and family is appaling!! Were all here for you to vent to chick and i really hope you mum gets some answers soon.... Ypu can always book another hol for her when she is ok and well enough to fly :-) xx Awww, herbie, hope your dad is ok? xx Michelle, id be the same as you, i want my dress with me, id be worried sick for 11 hours otherwise, but it is your BM after all and by the sounds of it on FB and other messages she is a trust worthy person and it will be fine, have you mentioned it to her? As she wont be able to carry anything else.... I phoned the airline the other week to see if i could carry a dress box and a wee bag, and was told no!!! Its Premium seats or premium hotel... as we havent got premium seats but have booked at a primium hotel? Is yours? I can just see the bridezilla moment in the airport!!!! :-) xx Hope your WC dosent take that long to get back to, its so frustrating... mine should be intouch as soon as because we fly out 8 weeks on sunday!!! ARGH.... sorry had to sneak that in.... Im nervous now as i havent had the call about my dress being in yet either.... My sis is coming up with my mum to my dress fitting when it eventually comes in and she does hairdressing so she will do a few styles for me to take pics of, amd she will put some colour for me :-) Oooo Lyndsey, we get married 9 weeks on fri.... !!!! ARGH!!!! Im SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) xxxx

Oooo, i need to get 2 cases... whoops not thought about that have I!!! :-( It definatly seems like forever!!! but at the same time its flew... if that makes sense!!! x

Oh No, you poor things... and your poor FI's :-( I hope everything works out ok for you all... And i second that about all the drama!!! LOL x Oooo, Celestial419, I do hope you FI's BM is on the mend though.... Cant believe your GM didnt tell you V, thats terrible... :-( Seeflowers... I hope your FI's BM, realises he's being silly soon, so he dosent make the build up unbearable for you.... :-( Not long now Virginia.... ARGHHHHHH!!!! :-) 9 weeks on Friday for me!!!! Whoo!!! xxx

Its so hard to do a list, we were like that, and my family is HUGE compared to Stephens... so i had to cut loads off, so i just missed people i dont see and i said to my mum if they have a prob giv em my number as i know some of my dads brothers who i havent seen since like i was 10 will kick of with my dad... cant be doing with it, My dad has 10 brothers and sisters, who all have a minimum of 3 kids who have kids and some of them even have kids and my mum had 5 brothers and sisters with kids and kids, and it drives me mad, Stephen on the otherhand has like 3 aunties and uncles with like 5 kids between em... Nice and easy.... I have invited the aunts and uncles i see and who bother with me and just not invited the rest.... It is a hard thing to do though!!!! xx Good luck for Thurs... dont forget to post pix :-) xxx Thanks chick.... i know im prob worrying about nothing, but you know when you just get sumit in your head and it gets worse the more you think about it!!!! xx Thats fantastic Char, brilliant that its so much under budget.... The drapes will be more of a reality at this rate.... Brilliant xx I wish i could find free hair trials... I went in HofF the other day and "Benefit" make up charge £15 you get the products and a trial and they show you how to apply the make up etc... x Welcome, and a massive congrats.... :-) I was going to post a link to boxes but after reading futher down the thread i see you got sorted.. :-) One less thing to worry about.... Please come back and tell us about your wedding x Like Michelle said i wouldnt have a clue, i would definatly have asked this if i did STD's , as soon2bemrsg says.... do one for evening and one for day.... i think thats a great idea if your unsure :-) OMG what a beautiful picture :-) x Lush x Quote: Originally Posted by kiwimel Hi girls, Thank you so so much for all your lovely concern. Thankfully I am North Island based and so are my family but we had a few friends and family friends who were based down in Christchurch so it was a bit hairy for a while. Everyone has been accounted for but I am disappointed in the NZ community over here - it seems there has been no appeal or fundraising events organised officially! So hard to try to arrange something but I have organized a bake sale on Wednesday with the funds going direct to the Red Cross and hopefully my small contribution should be able to help someone in need. Nicyx - cheer up Charlie! I bet you will have a fabulous time and will realise it isnt all worth the worry! I just knoe it will all come out in the wash. Invites should arrive this week! Will attempt to post a pic when they get here. V excited! I have been really good with the gym this week but appalling with my eating. I wouldnt be surprised at all if my weight is up. Back to the healthy diet this week and setting myself a challenge for gym and diet for the entirety of March. Anyone else feeling super motivated and want to join in? Let me know as I could do with the support! WOOP WOOP - not long to go now chicas! Im starting to get right hyped up for those of you getting married in the next 3 months or so! Mel xxx Awwwwww, great idea to fund raise.... Glad your friends and family are safe xx I know your right.... Chin up... stop worrying girl... You know what it gets likme sometimes... :-( Ive been a naughty girl.... after all that hard work a few weeks ago... 3 put back on but i have been being good again and using the kinect to exercise to.... I weigh 10st and want to get to about 9st 2lb ish.... i will check in with you as we go through March..... :-) Cant believe i get married 9 weeks on Friday!!! OMG!!!!! x Yeah, TC hand luggage is crap... We booked theough TC but are flying with Thomsons, Thank god x Yes, were the same as you herbie.... 23KG and 7KG PLUS an extra allowance for wedding... so this is brilliant :-) Hen night to me was so hard to organise... thats where i missed having a CBM!!! Haha... 70's sounds brillinat though x Love these :-) xxx Great job x

Hey ladies.. thanks for the comments, im feeling a slightly better about it all now i think... were not having a sit down diner so not worrying about that, i know i want people up dancing but when people walk in they arent going to dance straight away... where will they go? I am counting kids as well and my sister said dont count the kids as they wont have seats anyway.... im just worrying over nothing i expect but i want everyone to have a good time n not be worrying about where to plonk their bums!!! We did have our first "officail" RSVP through the door yesterday :-) Whoo!! and 2 of my friends their hubbys and kids booked accommodation in Annan yesterday too... so its starting to become a reality... maybe thats why im worrying..... xxx Yes, i think Dan is right to pay for the hair again for the AHR is a bit much, do they have to have it the same way for the AHR as they did for the wedding? As long as its nicely done? Maybe suggest that to them and at the same time just say you cant really be paying again and would they mind doing their own hair or paying as Mexico has cost an arm and a leg and so has the AHR..... Im sure they will be OK about it as i know if it was me and the bride said i would have to pay for own i wouldnt mind... Especially because of all the other thongs you would have paid for etc x

Michelle, your's and your BMs hair looks lovely.... They really are gorgeous.... I love how you have it in the middle of your head and your BMs hve theirs at the side... You Tiara looks perfect too :-) Scarlett's hair is just lovely too, and yeah, you have done a fantastic job lady, the flower is so cute. Sounds like you had an amazing day :-) Did you give the BMs their earrings? roo, the brochures are fab :-) i love the colour x Girls, im in panick mode and i cant stop crying... were going to have to go and see the AHR later as im convinced it wont fit all my guests... i feel sick, and this is the first thing that has stressed me out in this whole planning process... The letter i had confirming the booking of the function says 160 people but im sure it wont fit 160 sitting... the lay out just seems all wrong... i just dont know what to do, my invites have gone out already, so if i have to change venue i will look a complete idiot having to tell everyone the venue has changed... i just havent thought about this :-( Also i need to loose some people on the list as were over the 160 only about 6 people over but it also says on the letter from them it cant exceed 160 and people will be refused entry... ive just messed this all up and i dont know what to do... i need to go look at the room again with Stephen to see what the seating is like.... its just going to look awful when folk get there and cant sit down :-(

Michelle hope your friend Kate made it and the poorly kids are better? AND AND AND, how did the hair go?????????????????? Hope it went great and you had a lovely time x I have wedding ins, I got it for us at the same time as booking with Tom Cook, it was £30 on top of the hol ins. Thats a total of £30, NOT £30 each :-) Which i thought was fantastic as i expected it to be loads of money.... Tom Cook's wedding ins you cant take on its own though you have to take their travel ins to be eligable, but this wasnt a problem for us as we were getting the travel ins any way xx

Michelle, hope Kate managed to get away ok, and the poorly kids are not so poorly today? AND AND AND.... how were the hair trials? :-) I have wedding ins, we got it with Tom Cook at time of booking, we couldnt get it on its own we had to travel ins too, which we would have got anyway, The wedding ins was an extra £30 on top... i was suprised as i thought it would have been a lot more.... the £30 was for the two of us not each!!! x

Let us know how you get on chica :-) xx Yeah i joined jan 2010 and at the time of joining may 2011 seemed like forever and a day away!!! xox They are fab lyndsey, really really good idea :-) I that pic of you guys, its brilliant :-) I am going to use the same heart design of "vista" as you for my programs and stickers etc.... :-) ive designed them just waiting on WC getting back to me with exact times so i can order x

roo.... your poor mum... sending much love and hugs Michelle, good luck for your hair trials... pix pix pix :-) Have a look here for international dont know if it will help??? or as roo says call em and ask em to fone you back http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumer/consumerProducts/pdf/UKInternationalprices.pdf OMG, char was it when i booked htis thread started..... flippin' eck, cant believe that time has passed... so as you know 8/9 months has passed already... your day will be here before we know it, you 2012 girls will be my reason to come on here after my wedding :-) and then 2013 girls, as im sure they will be along soon, will be more of a reason for us to keep popping by..... :-) The drapes are beautiful... i can see why they cost as much as the job they do is fantastic, its amazing how they transform a room..... WOW, and that cakes is lovely :-) You have so so much sorted, you are so going to be able to relax on the lead up to the wedding... brilliant x

WOW, fantastic review, Thanks so so much for sharing :-) It all sounds so wonderful, how lovely it was was them to do all the little touches for you, thats fantastic, and i supose made it that little bit more special... Glad you like the photographer as we are using the onsite one.... so far the reviews i have read of them are good so i know i have nothing to worry about :-) Ypur day seemed to go so smoothly :-) Thats fantastic x Again thanks for sharing your special day with us xox

Cant wait to see your trail pix :-) Oh, and its NEVER too early!!! LOL Do they know you have earrings for them? Have you had a chat to your sister about it (if she knows)? I personally like the idea about sat when having the hair done as would be nice to see then with the hair styles..... Then maybe go for a nice lunch with your sister and give them to her then ASAP after your other BM's have theirs??? x

Oooo, cant wait to see.... i was going to say how to post pic's but Michelle has beat me to it xx Im going from Bates to Creely so length not a huge issue but wierd all the same, still havent tried though.... i know what i'll be doing in a few mins... LOL x Ooooo, another "signature geek" whoo!!! :-) Love it x What a nice 40th he will have and what a lovely thing to do with the phantom tickets, no wonder he was made up... i would love to see that too, im not really into musicals to be honest but that i would love to see.... That dress id just lush..... Its just lovely, the skirt is unusual i love it x Maggie dresses are just to die for.... i dont think there is one thats shes designed that is horrible x That is so nice, beautiful x The news is deverstating at the moment... I feel for you Mel, being your home country an all.... I hope all your friends and family are ok and I am thinking of all the deverstated familys out there x {{{Hugs}}} x Hope you flash your invites :-) Great idea about the song in the RSVP... with id have read that a day ago... lol, i would have stole the idea x I know, how crazy is it, making them Barefoot sandals seems like a million life times ago... but like only yesterday at the same time.... wierd.... I never thought it would come round this quick... im so happy for us all xx I was never a tiara and veil gal, and never even entertained the idea of a veil until i tried one on when i went to order my dress, now im definatly a veil girl... still not gone for the tiara as i never suited any, so i have gone for a comb.... I did want a flower originally, i dont know if you remember me posting this... I love it Im still thinking of this only slightly higher as im wearing my veil underneath and instead of a flower my comb.... my hair is natrualy curly/wavey/frizzy so being up will be better for me and as i have a few curls anyway this might just work. I think the vintage earings and the flower will be fine... not too much at all :-) x

Definatly agree with v... WOW, you look amazing :-) Arrrr, we will only have 7 inc us at ours!! Haha.... cant beleive how many people you had, thats fab :-) You look so happy, makes me even more excited.... xx Thanks for sharing xx

Its so sureal at the moment, dosent feel lilke its all for us... AND I STILL HAVNT HAD A WEDDING DREAM!!! :-( We get married 10 weeks on Friday & we fly out 9 weeks on Sunday... its crazy crazy crazy.... I was talking about my signature yesterday.... saying i need to practice, but feel silly... haha, i dont have a clue.... might have a wee go at the weekend... Haha... i'll be a geek with ya!!! LOL x
