Impending wedding

[kirsty b]

The very best of luck for both of you yoanbob. I'm sure the day will go fine for you. Take no/little notice of what others say about what they spent/did, its YOUR day and as long as you and bob are happy thats all that matters. (and yes, I can understand annoyance at florist when you are obviously up to your ears in prep as well as doing the house etc)
I'm sure everything will be ok on the day, relax and enjoy.
Heres to the sun shining for you

Hi Yo!

Dont stress it chuck, just relax and enjoy it! We got married 10 days after getting engaged (6 weeks after we started going out and 6 months to the day after we met!), and only gave the best man and chief bridesmaid a total of 48 hours notice, and the guests a total of 24 hours! It was great, really relaxed and spontaneous!

As for piccies, I'll bring both the cheapo digital camera I use on the plot, and I'll bring my Canon EOS 35mm SLR, so I'll do my best to take some good ones! I'm honoured you trust us to get some good piccies, puts the pressure on now tho, but I did do the piccies for my brothers wedding as the official photographer, but that was many moons ago!

And dont worry, e'll deffo be in jeans, probably even put our faded and stained ones we've been down the plot in if you want to make sure you are better dressed than spomeone! Lol!

I remember the madness - only advice I would give is don't loose sight of why you are doing this. It doesn't matter if the salad goes wrong, who cares if the cake isn't iced. You love each other and are getting married, that is the only thing that counts.

Have a wonderful day, it will all go smoothly (unlike mine - the council dug up the church driveway on the morning of the wedding. Crossing a 1' deep and 12' wide mud gully in cream silk and heels will haunt me forever!)

Blessings on you both

Terry

Best of luck to both of you. It's your day, remember why you are doing it and let the rest of them get on with it.

I didn't have a photographer either, much to the horror of most people I told. One in particular kept telling me how hers had cost £1000 just for the that.
We got married this Easter and have rounded up photos from everyone who was there and we are going to send a CD out to everyone who came.

My wedding was pretty relaxed as we only planned it 8 weeks before. My Mum was quite stressed though as she did the buffet. She cooked enough food for 3x the amount of people we had. LOL.
My Dad had been panicking about doing a speach. He gets nervous speaking infront of people. I had been winding him up for the whole 8 weeks, saying had he written one. I thought he reaslied I was winding him up, but apparently he was still worried that we wanted him to do one.

The only thing I panicked about was that I get hayfever sometimes. When I woke up I was sneezing so I was searching for an open chemist at 8am, as if I don't use the tablets straight away they don't work. I was in that much of a panick I hadn't even brushed my hair or teeth. LOL. Oh and we didn't choose the music until the day before, well one on the wedding day.

You will have a great time.

thanks guys for your words of wisdom. less stressed now, the yarrow tea worked.

Buy a load of disposable cameras, dish them out and then collect them back in.

You will have some gems in amongst the chaff.

Nice one Piglet, shame your tips 32 years too late!

Hey Yoanbob

I haven't forgotten about your homeopathy treats. Going to see my mum this weekend and raid her kit so you will have a pressie in the post to help have happy thoughts of the chicks, not be stressed about the wedding and generally have a positive outlook on life.

Friends of ours just did a stealth wedding, as in they didn't even tell their folks until 3 days before and even that got a little complicated (some family not invited apparently who thought they should be .

As per their advice we're going to just give people an OS grid reference and ask for RSVP within 24hours of giving said grid ref and only those that reply will be coming. We may be sending the emails out while some family are on hols and it will be up a mountain so those that don't walk need not attend. we figure that should limit it to the 5 people we'd like to see

After that we may just have a huge impromptu party in the villiage to celebrate.

As they said in lord of the rings... keep it safe, keep it secret

Hope yours goes smoothly and get your bottle of rescue remedy ready. If all else fails drink the lot it is mostly brandy and it can make you very happy indeed (my friend and I took half a bottle each as teenagers and I swear I still recall that day with great fondness it can't have just been the brandy as it was equivalent to 1 shot each just about)

Have a great digging party too.

Nice one Piglet, shame your tips 32 years too late!

Our wedding is almost 37 years ago - they hadn't invented disposable cameras then! In fact, our photos are in black and white. They HAD invented colour but I thought it looked classier! Anyway, Mr Flum had a black suit, I had a white dress, why bother?

[Earthbabe]

I remember the highs and lows of planning ours but the day itself was great even though I was rather tiddly by the end and there are a few blanks from the evening reception.

As TPeers says don't lose sight of the why. And as I'm sure you know the getting married is really just the start. Mr EB and I have had a bit of a fraught 8 years in some respects but love each other just as much if not more than we did when we got married. We have grown together and are making our journey together and that is what it means.

Have a fab day, enjoy it and get Mrs D to post some of the piccies for us.

Many blessings

[moggssue]

Have a fantastic day - YOUR way - and all the very best of wishes for the pair of you for the best of futures together. Sue
