Hi girls, Hope your all ok! Michelle love the hen do pics!! fab!! Just incase any of you are interested Debenhams have a sale at the moment just bought my FI's linen suit and the best man for £118 (signed up for their credit card for 10% extra off) Thought i'd mention it as I'm thinking the Autumn/Winter season stuff will be in soon and linen prob will be out! x

Yay glad it went well!! congrats!! x

Hey Rae, When most of our grandparents were young everyone married at 18/19/20 and are still together 40+ years later! I guess alot of people think that people that marry young dont stay together for very long but doesnt mean you'll be the same! I am 23 and will be when I get married. We have been together for 7 years and so far i've only had strangers comment its too young to get married but hey, I'm happy cant imagine my life with anyone else so I don't worry about it and it shouldn't worry you either! xxx

Ana Maria Cruz It did make me chuckle actually, so glad everyones posted reviews saying everything is sorted once there makes me not too fussed that we cant get answers

Dont be sad girls its only where the gathered parts are and everyone *says* they cant see them not quite sure at the moment if it bothers me enough to look for another dress or not... A_J_Mitchell - dress looks fab whos the original by?

Soon-to-be-McRae - where did you find the green dress its lovely!

I noticed the other day quite a lot of pin marks in my dress.... Noticable to me but im told by others they cant notice it. (dress from gianinar) Just thought i'd mention incase anyone would be bothered by it.

I'm still trying to figure out what to get him as a gift. Luckily his parents are helping with the cost of the party and my friend's aunt works at a hall so got that for £100 bargain!

Seems too good to be true but there is one at the moment for £4.99 I might just order it & see what happens!! I got mine from an ebay seller gianinarbridal the quality of the dress was sooooo much better than some dresses i'd tried on by designers. My dress was about £150 all in with shipping etc and I love it! I might even get a second dress nearer the time for my TTD So how old is everyone and what do you all do for a living?

Did anyone read this article about TC? Bride-to-be Austin Kettle changes her name to 'I Hate Thomas Cook' over booking fee row | Mail Online I keep having bad dreams about the wedding lately - things like its 2 hours before the wedding I dont have a dress and nothing has been planned ... urgh. currently i'm planning a surprise 30th party for my FI for september its not cheap but before we decided on a wedding date we were going to vegas for his 30th now we're getting married we cant afford it so hopefully it'll make up for it a little bit I like the idea of OOT bags but I cant help but think is it one of them things where u get the items then u get home and chuck them in a drawer? and not to mention using the baggage space!! ekk! I am however doing fans. waybuloo - welcome to the thread, I did exactly the same and booked the wedding direct with the hotel! who wants to wait for their date!? xx

prettypigpig - that dress is gorgeous cant wait to see it on!! Welcome!! to the new brides!! xxx

Fab pics - makes me even more glad we booked him! x

Great review - left a comment on the photos too x

No I ordered the hoop from them for extra as I hoped they would know which hoop would be best. I would say to leave it and get the dress then decide and order one from ebay or rent. Quote: Originally Posted by pamphilia oh...and how are the pockets LOL!! I TOTALLY forgot about the pockets when I tried it on!! Doh! I definately need to put it back on lol Thanks for the good comments girls x

I got my dress from gianinarbridal!!!! Quality is really good, material is better than some I looked at for 10x the price over here!! Only bad/good part is I lost quite alot of weight since ordering so its quite big, I really like it but its hard to tell 100% when its not the right size - Will resize nearer the time. I also need to get a good strapless bra for some "oomph"! The hoop i got from gianinarbridal was not any good, quite big on the waist and falls down or isnt long enough so makes the dress look slightly odd near the bottom. I'm not 100% this is my main dress yet I will get a good bra (lol), a better hoop and someone to hold it in for me and then decide

Ohhh no i've found some I love from googling barbie by townshoes but their from last season anyone got any idea where I can find them? http://blog.en.chatelaine.com/wp-con...130-barbie.jpg thanks
