I'm not wearing a veil. I love your flower girl dress where is it from. I need one for my daughter Scarlett.

FI suit is from Next. He is wearing the jacket and trousers and open coller white shirt. His dad will wear the same and my son Harrison we will match up in the same (he is giving me away). My dad and bestman have dropped out so thats our groomsmen!

These are my shoes but i have now seen some fushia pink sandals with diamontes on so might get those, hee hee

I'm hoping to have plaits in my hair some way or another but am trying to grow it a bit as the moment - one of my BMs is a hairdresser as well so going to try out loads of styles first before i decide.

 

Loving those shoes girls - v bling - love it!

 

I have flat shoes but they are mainly for my AHR going to go bare foot during our ceremony as its down on the beach. Then probably flip flops in the evening.

 

Michelle - is that suit the one that is currently in the Next catalogue as FI keeps looking at it - wondered if its quite lightweight?

And so exciting :-) Not long to go.... Im so excited for you!! wish i was getting married soon 2 xox

I love these Michelle, everytime i see em i drool.. Well nearly!!! :-)

We have had "2 regreat cards" today :-( from my aunt and uncle and 1 from my cousin... i thought they wouldnt come but its sad to have it comfirmed!!

Im so jealous of you girls who are taking loads of people im thinking at the mo its just going to be us, my FSIL hubby and niece. Im pleased at that but i wanted a good few. My mum and dad are still to confirm yet 2.... coz of prices but i just have to learn to deal with the ups and DOWNs of planning a DW.
One of my friends and her fella may be in mexico around the same time so said they may get a day pass (even if they have to watch from a distance.. due to the 80% guest rule at the RIU) which will be great :-)

Stephen gets told in 2 weeks if he is made redundant or not... 2 weeks down 2 to go... fingers x's it goes fast and we get the best news ever and i can carry on wedding planning instead of wedding cancelling!!!!

I love seeing the progress you lovelys are making :-)

xoxo

Nicy i really hope your mum and dad book up! I know how you feel it is so horrible when ppl are unable to come (or drop out in our case).. But i'm sure your wedding day will be fab and i can't wait to hear all about it and see it all come together! ) xxxx

 

Josie this is the suit (sorry being lazy and just adding links instead of uploading pics)

 

Yes it is very lightweight. Dan is 6' 3 and very slim so he got the slim fit and he looks gorgeous in it with the white shirt.. ) a bargain at £110 too )

 

Buy Stone Slim and Regular Fit Suit: Jacket from the Next UK online shop

[michelle2011]

Ps - it says stone but it is more light brown!

[josietoms]

Thanks Michelle - im gonna order it up anyways as i know he will leave it to the last minute and then moan they havent got it in his size! At least it will be something he can wear again as well.

 

Nicy - i love love love yr dress it is beautiful and i really hope your parents can come. FI keeps saying to me as long as us 2 are there does it really matter about anyone else - but i think us women think differently to men - but remember you will be with the person who you want to spend the rest of your life with in a dream location and nothing can take that away from you - sending you lots of good vibes x

Thanks for the good vibes :-)Ii do understand what your FI is saying as it the most important thing.... us just being there and to be honest over the last few years we only really ever expected it to be us going anyway... BUT now its booked i just want everyone to say "yes, we'll be there" I think your right us women do think differently!! :-) x
