Wow Candy, what a week! Is your car okay now? Don't blame you for changing hen's plans. I only wanted (and had) a small hen's - myself and my 3 best girls and it was excellent.

Hope everything is smooth from now on.

And your 2 hr gym session puts me to shame!
Lady CJ
oh candy, we missed you!

oh my gosh, all that happen to you, that's terrible!

i must admit, seems everyone has there own mishaps in planning a wedding, mine was that the videoman we booked did a runner on us & we had to book another guy a few months ago.
& ofcourse everyone has a bridesmaid drama, mine decided to work overseas instead, then then girl i asked after her turned out to be a real biatch & i told her, she is no longer my bridesmaid! woo!

My MOH moved to Sydney! But at least she came back for a holiday once last month (that's why I had my hen's early) and she's coming back the week before the wedding so we'll have plenty of time. She's folding 100s of paper cranes for me. laugh.gif
Lady CJ
that's lovely of her Maiko.

i was lucky in the end, after the nasty bridesmaid experiance, i asked a girl i grew up with & she was so excited & the dress fitted perfertly!

i wish i asked her in the beginning!
marissa
1 month to go biggrin.gif YAH for me and the other nov 18 gals - millie belle, and harmonie!!
I have my dress fitting this friday which i'm looking forward to, although scared it wont fit after all the winter foods i've consumed.

Geez Candy, what a trip back home you had! You know it wouldn't be a wedding without all the extra stress! blink.gif

Grrr, the travel agent keeps calling me - we have to pay our airfares sad.gif I just cant get in there yet with prac and all that). I had it for her last week but she was off sick! I cant win!

I love those candles and having the candle ceremony, but i would have NO idea where you get those candles from and how the candle ceremony even works! Any ideas???

Also girls, what do you think is better for the bombonierre - rock candy with our names on it (for that personal touch), or choc hearts which all my family has had at recent weddings however they're cheaper!? I like the word "cheaper" for the chocolates, however i want something different at my wedding that no one else has done / had yet. Every wedding i've been to these last few years (and there's been about 10) have had chocolates, and dont get me wrong i love them, but my wedding is already so traditional, i need something different.

Anyway girls... I have farm animals to make for my kindy kids tongue.gif Have a good afternoon.
Lady CJ
hey marissa, depends what state you in, if you are in sydney & i can pm you my candle makers number, otherwise i have heard dusk is good for wedding stuff?

& if you just ask your celebrant/priest they would know about the candle ceremony.
princess-lissy
Hey girls...

Geez was a bit stressed today, car decided to break down last week and have had it in mechanics for last 3 days, hoping it would be fixed asap as really need it at the moment! Got call from mechanic and he was telling me the cost of the repairs could be quite high, so was really worried as i dont really have that much extra cash floating around at the moment as it is almost all going towards the wedding, however with some luck he rang me back telling me it was not as bad as first thought, thankgod!!!! huh.gif

Candy how is your car going now, and sorry to hear about your last week, hope everything is ok now! biggrin.gif

Well now for some nicer news, I recived a few more pictures of my hens night from my friend so thought I would post them here, so here goes...

Me and some boys at the Pub who wanted a picture with the Hen!!

The girls and myself at the pub having a dance!!

Well November girls I'm just dropping in to wish you well. As of now I'm on 100% wedding detail. I wish you all sucess on your BIG day and know each and everyone of you will be stunning! I'm not going to have time to post and the Wedding is Saturday so fingers crossed everything comes together.

Seeyas on the other side

Hi Lindy, Wishing you all the very best for your wedding day!! biggrin.gif Look forward to hearing all about it and seeing the wonderful photos!! smile.gif

MrsO
Hi girls!!!!

Candy - welcome back, I was worried about you. What a full-on week you have had. I don't blame you for wanting a low-key hens night.

Lindy - good luck with your wedding!!! smile.gif

Lissy - cool photos, the guys in the pub are orright wink.gif

Marissa- yay for one month to go - are you excited?

Maiko - make her fold 100000 paper cranes for moving away from you tongue.gif just kidding.

Well, the school day goes so quickly. Since the school is a boarding school, the staff gets a free hot lunch every day - it's all healthy stuff too, so I will be eating well for the next few weeks wink.gif

I am looking forward to the weekend, I have to wake up at 5am every morning and it is tiring.

Chat with you all tomorrow xx
Puggie
Sigh. Tired and so best off to bed smile.gif

Night, all!

Hiya girls biggrin.gif

I’m soo tired this morning, sitting at my desk drinking my coffee ph34r.gif

Juless – we want pics of your hair trial!!! I’m so glad that it turned out well hun biggrin.gif I’m having my second one this Sun so fingers crossed that it turns out well.

Puggie – OMG, I can’t believe that someone would send you such a nasty message like that??!!! Ditto to what Carla said ‘What a cow!’ I would love to be invited to a wedding like yours and be able to sit down to a menu like that! Seriously, some people just need to get a life!

And don’t worry too much about your dress, I’m sure it will come together perfectly in the end biggrin.gif I’m still in the process of getting my dress made and it won’t be finished until the week of the wedding so I won’t need to get any alterations done. Maiko, I wouldn’t worry about the creases on the side of the bodice, that happens to most dresses I think. You can’t get it surfboard flat because of the curves in your body. I’m sure you will look super sexy anyway biggrin.gif Btw, your booklet for the reception sounds so lovely smile.gif

Hey Millie, I made the same assumption as you for our menus until I rang my reception co-ordinator last week. So my menus were a last minute addition, but luckily they didn’t take too long to make.

And Candy – welcome back missy!!! What a week it has been for your darl!! Boo hoo about your car, but aren’t your parents so sweet coming to the rescue like that! It’s a good piece of advice that your friend gave you about having to learn please ourselves, otherwise it just gets too hard when we want to please others all the time.

Carla, I swear the video industry is sooo dodgy! Here’s a few stories for you so you’re not alone: 1. My friend’s video guy did a runner on them 2 weeks before her wedding 2. My sister got married last December and just received her video this month and the worst one 3. We hired a video guy to film our engagement and we haven’t heard from him in months. We rang his dad and his dad told us that he was “on holidays”. And we just recently found out that he is actually….. wait for it…… IN JAIL!!!!!

Lissy – way to go with your hen’s night pics smile.gif You look great! Hmmm… I think I’ve seen that sash somewhere before biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
Lady CJ
Yeh come on girls we want pics of dress fittings, Mazz's willd boys afloat (im personally hanging out for them wink.gif ) & everything else!!!

i fessed up, previous pages have dress & hair trials!
Juless
Good Morning Girls!!!!!!! smile.gif

hope everyone is well.....ok i finally got my hands on my hair trial pics and u know what i dont think the hair looks the same in the pics as it did in real life so to speak....but im gonna post away and please give me ur honest opinions ladies - i love the way it turned out but i dont mind making changes for the better - always a good thing....ok here goes:

and the rest r links sorry:

soooooo what do u think???? smile.gif smile.gif
princess-lissy
Juless - I love your hair, it looks lovely!! biggrin.gif
Candy
Very nice Juless!!!! Love the frosting! tongue.gif The curls look very pretty. I would love to see a close up one of the front. My only suggestion personally would be from the photo of the front I did see, maybe a few pieces to soften around the face?? Then again..

Do you have anymore photos of the front to show us????????

smile.gif
Juless
hmmm unfortunately no i dont have many photo's of the front!! i cant believe i forgot about that bit - but maybe that was a sub conscious thing as im not a fan of any photo's!

ok this is the only other one that shows the front that i can - pls excuse my ugly mug.....and i think u may have a point there Candy - i wonder how i could soften it up a bit?? a few loose strands maybe? but not too long if that makes sense.....

IPB Image

oh yeah sorry about the frosting (i love that word - its from one of my favourite movies!!! biggrin.gif )

its all the hairspray she whacked onto the hair before my sis took the pictures and u know what u couldnt really tell but i guess the camera can see more than we can!! smile.gif
Candy
No no sweetie I was referring to the jewellery in your hair laugh.gif beautiful!!!! I can't see the hairspray... huh.gif hang on let me look... laugh.gif Nope can't see it...

Okay after seeing that pic I think it looks lovely the way it is. Its just up to personal preference how you want it smile.gif
Maybe you could ask your hairdresser for some other alternatives also just to confuse the situation tongue.gif

Like perhaps you could have a few pieces out..or you could make the hair a big higher at the top ? hmm.. do you know what I mean? So its not pulled so firm? unless that is of course the look you are after!!!

Either way it looks lovely!!!!!! Just thought I'd do what my mother does and add confusion blink.gif

Do you have a pic of your dress???????? smile.gif
Juless
oh yeah that whoops - i can be a bit slow sometimes!! aduuuhhhhh blink.gif

that lil piece of bling isnt in my hair properly either so it looks a bit weird....and the weird thing is that i didnt want the slicked down look either so the front of my hair was actually pretty high up and boofy before she put the tiara on and i was afraid id look like a freak but i dont think u can really see that in the pic...it just sits nicely in the middle of the hair of boof if that makes sense??

& thank u for ur suggestions Candy, u got me thinking about things now - but yes dont u just love the way mothers work when they suggest things!!! smile.gif

hmmm dress yes it would be nice if i had one that FIT!!!!!!!!!! mad.gif i had pics of it but i got so annoyed the other day i deleted them all off the camera coz i was pissed at the dress place.....but im hoping to get some real ones at my next fitting (where everything will go great and my dress with fit like a glove!!) well here's hoping anyway smile.gif

and thank u for ur kind comment too Lissy!! smile.gif
Domestic Dreamer
Looking good Juless. Like Candy said, maybe some loose bits in front to soften? It still looks quite pulled back. Or maybe a loose side part?
Harmonie
I love your hair! Wow it looks like those curls will hold well too...

Looking at the pics I also thought - I like your colour.... I am not going to get my hair done until the week before my wedding as MOH is a hairdresser and kinda enough to do it for me - but I have re-growth and will when I do my trail ph34r.gif Oh oh....

Candy I swear you get behind and then whoa stay back you fly through things and how nice of them to pay for you guys! Glad it worked out!

Marissa the ceremony is having your parents light your candle and your FH has his lit by his family then the two of you light one together. Symbolises that you too are now a family (will be hinting that to MIL tongue.gif ) Our priest asked if we would like it and my brother also had one when he married - Sounds good but I need to find out how they get the letters on the candle! You can buy them off e-bay otherwise - May ask my crafty cousin to help!

Melb chicks are we on for Saturday afternoon! I haven't seen CM around lately hope all is well - Amy have you girls been walking lately - Kylie whata bout you??

Have a great Afternoon!
MrsO
Juless - BEAUTIFUL!!!

Carla - I want my hens pics too! I haven't seen my friend to get them as I have been going to work, coming home, sleeping, then back to work, etc etc. Will try and get them this weekend!

Only one more day till the weekend, this drive to Sydney every day is KILLING ME. blink.gif
Candy
I don't know if I said this Mazz but I know I thought it.. laugh.gif Anyway.. in case I just thought it and didn't say it CONGRATULATIONS??

How is the new job going???????????????????????????? smile.gif
MrsO
Ooh thanks Candy...you were away when it was all happening wink.gif

It is going really well. It's VERY BUSY but the boys are really nice, and the school is beautiful! smile.gif Makes the long drive worth while.

Domestic Dreamer
Yuck Mazz! I thought starting work at 7am everyday was bad enough but leaving at 5:30 is a whole lot worse. Roll on the weekend! biggrin.gif

I'm going to the dentist this evening while h2b goes bowling. sad.gif One side of my face is going to be numb all night. I'm sooooo not looking forward to it.

Hehe - that's ONE good thing about marrying a Dentist - GREAT dental care and GUARANTEED PAIN FREE (if he knows what is good for him) biggrin.gif

At home - long awful day, but spending time with Mum tomorrow. This might be weird, but is anyone else speaking to their Mum like 10 times a day at the moment?!?! There's so much to discuss and think about rolleyes.gif Oh - and the payments are starting to come due, too tongue.gif

Harmonie - I'm A-OK for the Nov gals meetup, and I got an email from CM saying she would 'see me this Saturday' (I think she's driving us to this one, since I did last one and our boys shared driving the time before). Tried to call her but got the answering machine - hopefully she will call back tonight and we can confirm 100%.

Juless - love your curls - agree a little 'softness' at the front would look good.

Mazz - get with the agenda... WE WANT PICS, DAMMIT!

Candy - good to see you back, woman! Can't believe it's nearly a month until we're MRS! 2.5 weeks for some of us here. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!
MrsO
Maiko - yucky dentists sad.gif I have a tooth that needs filling but I am going to do it after the wedding. It only hurts sometimes.

Amy - My Mum has been EXCELLENT at the moment...she is helping me look after the kids while I am at work on the days they don't have daycare. She is usually a bit of a nag, but I must say she has been so good during the whole wedding prep.

Vik
Hi November girls,

I hope you don't mind me popping in, I just wanted to wish you all the best in the final weeks of preparation for your weddings.

Enjoy your wedding day and be sure to hurry back with lots of photos for us all. smile.gif

Thanks so much, Vik! I can't believe my 14 months of planning are nearly over! Never fear - pics will be made available to you biggrin.gif

Isn't it scary that people are wishing us luck?? Yikes - we're next! blink.gif

Hehe. This is normal and expected (and YES I AM FREAKING OUT AND I AM AT THE END OF THE MONTH)

Juless – thanks missy for posting up pics of your hair trial smile.gif Comments from me?….. just beautiful!!!!! I’m impressed that your hairdresser did such a great job for your hair trial. What I found was that most hair trials are often rushed and rough about the edges IYKWIM, just because it’s only a trial and not the real thing. Well done, I wouldn’t change a thing biggrin.gif

Marissa – regarding the candle ceremony, Harmonie pretty much summed it up. We’ll be having one too, so to help you out, here’s what we've included in our OSS:

Candle Ceremony – Part 1

In today's wedding liturgy, candlelight symbolises the commitment of love David and Jade are declaring today. On the altar are three special wedding candles. The two smaller ones symbolise the lives of David and Jade. The large candle symbolises the union of David, Jade & their families. Today they publicly proclaim their love in the new union of Marriage.

I invite parents of David & Jade to come up now and light the family candles.

Candle Ceremony – Part 2

Now, following the profession of their vows, David and Jade will light their wedding candle from the two family candles to symbolise a new reality. They do not lose their individuality, yet in marriage, they are united in so close a bond that they become one. As two lights are now blended into one, so too are their lives. May you be one in name, one in aim and one in happy destiny together. Lord Jesus, you are the light of the world. We praise you and ask you to guide our steps each day. Help David and Jade to love you and to serve you.

Bless this light and let it always remind them that you are their light in darkness, their protector in danger, and their saving Lord at all times.

Hope this helps smile.gif

And thanks Vik for your sweet sweet message wub.gif Mazz, yep it’s certainly scary coz we’ll next!!!!!!! blink.gif
seedyem1978
Just wanted to pop in and share a wonderful discovery - I've been hunting for pictures of hair and makeup, and like to think I'd like to look like Scarlett Johansson on my wedding day (as if!).

so if you log onto gettyimages.com then search for functions (like Emmy's 2006 for eg), you'll get photos of all the red carpet comings and goings.

Bliss - and very very helpful for someone who wants to look like a bride, but doesn't want to look too bridal!
Juless
aawwww thank u Pinky!! & Puggie and Harmonie and all u lovely November girls smile.gif i was actually pretty impressed with the hairdresser she really took her time and made sure she did everything right - i love that kind of service smile.gif gonna have a think about the soft around the front bit coz i get wha you mean completely so i think i may do some experimenting on my own....

& can i just say how awesome i think all the November girlies are and im proud to be a member of the November "Eek Were Getting Married Next Month" Chick Squad!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

and holy cow were looking at just over 3 weeks until our weddin - scary or what!

Thank you for your sweet message Vik - cant believe that time of the year is already nearly here ohmy.gif

Pinky - how'd ur dress fitting go the other day?? well i hope....ur candle ceromony sounds like its gonna be beautiful....

Mazz - ur mum sounds like a gem helping you out with the wedding and kiddies and the lot....

and yes Puggie talking to mum stacks of time a day - gets worse on the weekends but its all god coz were getting thru a bit too smile.gif

Oh Maiko - hope the dentist visit goes ok tonight, ive got mine on saturday and im afraid she might yell at me coz its been a while since i was there last wacko.gif
j***
O yeah, forgot to mention my dress fitting aye biggrin.gif biggrin.gif I was soo busy that day, work, gym, dress fitting, work, meetings, arghhhhhhhhhh!! Stress I tell ya is not good! But I'm ok now biggrin.gif

Dress fitting was great! I'm having a slimline lace dress and I love it! I haven't seen my dress in ages (my dressmaker wanted to make the dress closer to the wedding so no need for alterations) and I fell in love with it all over again wub.gif The dress is all made now (silk satin) and next week - the lace will be added and I'll post some pics then - sorry girls coz i know u want pics!

Anyway, gotto go, but will be back later tonite smile.gif xoxo
kylz4
Juless, i love the curls in your hair! the hairdresser did an awesome job! I'd have a play with the front a bit too to try and soften it, but if you play and still prefer it the way it is then keep it that way biggrin.gif

Vik thank you so much for your well wishes! I think we are a very scared bunch of girls now that it is so close hehe

Harmonie i am definately good for catch up on Saturday.

Puggie, i have been taking my mum nearly everywhere with me! We have a fairly close relationship so it is only natural for me smile.gif

Pinky Babbee your dress sounds gorgeous! Cant wait to see the pics!

I am so stressed at the moment, but not about the wedding! I want to get some things done at my house but i can't do them until i've finished helping mum and dad with their painting. I want to get some garden beds in and plant some plants out the back and next to our new fabulous deck so that when the boys are out there getting photos done there isn't a huge ugly pile of dirt in the background!!!!! I also want to clean my grout right back and seal it so it stays clean! gotta hand paint around each tile - time consuming ohmy.gif Oh and i wanted to get at least one feature wall painted before hand too! AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

Wedding stuff is cool, all i have to do is confirm two more people for reception and then i can print up table lists and finish off the last 5 placecard/bonbon's and confirm my last reader for the church and print the last page of OOS and put them together. Then i think that's about it. The rest is just confirming everything biggrin.gif YAY Oh and going on my lovely hens weekend in Rye biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif


Oh well, only 1.5 bedrooms left to go at mum's!
MrsO
Kylz - long time no see!! biggrin.gif

You sound busy too. We're all stressed! Yikes! ohmy.gif
Lady CJ
hey girls,
wasnt logged in today, woh 2 pages full!

Jules i love your hair trial, but i think you would be great with a side loose part, that's what im having, but not everyone likes that.

i have had a barry this week, 1st last sat i booked to see a flowerist preservation place at 11am, but thought it was 10am, lucky they could see me. then i forgot my shoes for my dress fitting, then i booked to see my videoman, thought it was thursday, but i actually booked wens.
lucky he could fit me in tonight too!
you don't realise how much stress you are under untill you make the stupidest of mistakes like above. funny isn't it? wacko.gif

i don't feel stressed like i thought i would with only 2 weeks to go, but these mistakes make me think otherwise.
blahblah
arghhhhhhhhhh. Can we turn back the clock...by like ummm 2 months??? hehe with 2 weeks to go...I'm running out of time and completly stressing about it. I'm complaining that I have to do everything myself but then when it comes to anybody helping me, I say no, as I'm too much of a control freak...and I have to do it! lol

On a good note, I have my Hens night tomorow night. Can't wait!!! Going to have a smashing time..then once I have regained my stamina sometime Saturday...its full steam ahead and NO procrastinating over things....its a now or never situation!!!

....I just don't know where to start!!!

Who else has there hens this weekend?

Ok i need to go catch up on this thread.
Lady CJ
have fun on your hens buffy, what do you have planned?
Shanina_bobina
Oooo how exciting! I can't believe we have people popping in to say good luck!! We are next girls - yay!!!

Jules, love your hair trial, I think it looks really soft and romantic at the back.....

Pinky - do you have any pics of your dress fitting? It sounds divine....

Puggie, by the time I get married i will have been engaged for 14 months too - when did your H2B propose??

Buffy, what are your plans for the hens??

Well, I am back at work on half days...... and already glad its Friday! laugh.gif Have got my hair trial tomorrow, and flowergirls are trying on dresses as well.
LiAsh
Hey Guys,

I've been naughty and haven't popped in here for ages!!

Its getting so close for us now isn't it?! I can't believe our 2 year engagement is almost over - I was commenting to Damo this morning about how fast its gone by! Wow!

Anyway, update from me - I had my final dress fitting last night - all was perfect!! So she's now just going to add the hook for the bustle and then press it for me, and I pick it up on the 30th!

I've done my menus, placecards, seating plan (easy with 17 people - we did have 19, which was harder, but 2 had to cancel because of work and travel - they were coming from QLD).

All I have left to do is get my ring cleaned, pick up the dress in just over a week, finalise payments for the cake, photographer and celebrant, have the rehersal the day before, and have my final hair & makeup trial on the 28th (which is my hens night) YAY!!!

Hopefully everyone's plans are going well too! I can't wait until we're all back in here posting photos of our magical days!!

Mel
Harmonie
Morning Everyone!

Yeah its Friday!!!! Tomorrow morning I am off to the city to look at possible photo locations... We are having the church and garden - but where else? hmmmm and the G8 thing is on so staying away from Crown! Maybe Docklands??? Any ideas???

There if a free G8 concert at the Myer Music bowl whoa I am sooooo lucky its Friday the 18th! Or else my guests would hear them!!!

Still deciding whether to book a room in the city I think I will now cause when I was younger working in a hotel I would see the Brides come back at the end of the night and I swear the entire hotel would come over and say congrats and make them feel special! I want that!!!

Tonight I am meeting up with my BM and we are working out the hens night! Yeah it will be great to all catch up! I keep thinking I have all these weekends to do stuff and really we dont!

Whats everyone organising this weekend??? smile.gif


kylz4
Harmonie, how about Fed Square or Carlton exhibition building?? Just a few ideas. I have to go check out some locations either today or early next week - have meeting with photographer at end of next week.

I am finishing off second last room at mum's today and getting some sleepers delivered so that sunday i can get started on the garden! So next week will be one more room at mum's and gardening!

Wedding wise all else i have to do this weekend is put my OOS books together. Did one last night and i love it! Oh and chase up last person for rsvp - gosh some people are SLACK!!! I've tried calling a couple of times but no answer and he hasn't replied to sms either! I guess i can only try him till the deadline of having to know and if he doesn't respond he's not coming!

Have a great weekend twinnies!
Juless
Good Morning Lovelies biggrin.gif

Buffy - Have a fantastic hens nite tonight!!!!!!!!!! biggrin.gif ull have a blast im sure and dont forget to get back here with piccies....

Kylz i have no idea how u manage to fit all of it in - not only r u organising a wedding, but ur painting, renovating, gardening - the works!! i salute u missy! smile.gif

Thanks Millie on ur hair comments!!

hmmm ok what do i have planned for the weekend i think ill write H2B off for all of it...h's got his bucks day/nite on tomorrow and he's off with the boys to the races and then into town and yeah who knows when ill see him again or in what kind of condition he'll be in....but i on the other hand will be on fire.....off to the dentist and then hairdresser for some colour and cut (seeing as i have fine hair kinda seems to stick to it like glue and settles down around the 2 week period so it should good good on the day) then shopping with my sis to pick up some stuff for the gifts that were putting together for our parents....gonna continue on with the placecards and may even get stuck into the seating arrangements - they gotta be done sooner or later so might as well get the pain over with as soon as i can.....ummm i think thats pretty much it smile.gif

hope everyday has a great day today!!! smile.gif

oh and enjoy ur meet on the weekend melb girls!!! biggrin.gif
mj2
I know what you mean Carla re the brain strain starting to set in! I have packed my Mum & Dad off to the City thisa morning to give me some time to draft the seating plan. The venue wants a list of guests alphabetically by surname, and I have had to look up so many surnames! I know this stuff, it's just that my head's overflowing with information at the moment and I can't remember anything. I take my diary everywhere as it has my To Do list and contact details in it. I think ew might run into trouble down the track as our placecards have nicknames on them but the master seating plan needs to be proper names. Maybe I should note both on the seating plan for the venue. Poor wait staff will need to have their wits about them when showing guests to their seats!

Had my make-up trial last night so today I am still sporting fake lashes which I LOVE wub.gif
The makeup lady says if I'm careful with them they may stay on for two weeks, and as I get married two weeks tomorrow ohmy.gif they'll come off just in time to have new ones put on. Hair trial on Tuesday so I'll try to get some piccies of both to post.

Loved your hair Juless - very nice!
Mazz - glad to hear the job is going well and they're also feeding you healthy food. Don't let the travel get you down - think of the money!
Puggie you sound so well organised. How have your dancing lessons gone? We only have two left and I'm starting to get quite concerned that we won't be ready and the routine has been a little ambitious.

Right then - I'm off to work on our ceremony wording. Time is flying!!

mj2 - do you have any pics from your makeup trial?? I had the lash extensions - I liked them on me but no one else (IRL) did sad.gif So I had made the decision not to have them.....

I don't know whether to or not....

Hiya! I'm at Mum's looking at the entree menu, now. Bought my 'wedding lingerie' (well the bottom bit anyway). Granny knickers with a heavy duty waist section which comes up to just under my bust. Not that sexy, but they DID bring my waist in several centimeters and eliminated several ugly bulges tongue.gif

Millie I think I posted a reply in your makeup thread but not sure. I had just a few lash extensions on the outer edges of each eye - I think you may have had them all the way across? Or maybe you just have long lashes to start with (lucky girl!). I'm looking for a 1950's Hollywood style feel so was v excited about the lashes. Louise was going to put 4 sets on each eye (about 3-4 lashes per set but set very close together) but ended up with 5 and I loved them, Mum loved them, Dad couldn't see the difference, and H2B liked them last night and even more this mornig when he can see them better with no other makeup.

No piccies yet I will try to post on Tuesday along with hair trial. Sorry not very helpful - I don't have a digital camera and my mother didn't bring her cable thingy from the UK! IMO they looked reasonably natural against my eye-makeup and even now they don't look particularly fake and I think someone who didn't know me well would just thinkg I was blessed with beautiful lashes.

Have you thought about trying just a few in the outer corners? I remember you're not big into makeup, and neither am I but I just feel so glamorous. You can also get glue which is for one wear only not the 2 week superglue I used!
