The countdown is ooonnn!!!

[Lacey Lou]

Well instead of creating a new thread every few days, I'll use this for my updates over the next few weeks.

Constantly I'm getting 'Are you nervous yet? Excited?' to be honest No. FH is feeling the same. We guess that's a good thing, well it's what we keep telling ourselves

The next few days are full on!
- Tonight we are having our MC (friend of ours) over for dinner to discuss how we want everything to run during the reception.
- Tomorrow night one of the BMs has her final fitting for her dress.
- Friday afternoon (hopefully) my last dress fitting), Friday night shopping for the Hens.
- Saturday = HENS DAY/NIGHT MADNESS!!

There will be around 30 ladies at the Hens, which is at my parents house. I have my outfit all ready and I'm really excited to see everyone all in their outfits.

FH Buck's night is the same day. Well he will be playing cricket, with the party to kick on after. My BIL (who isn't even a GM) has pretty much organised the whole thing. The GMs have been very lazy!!
They are just having a BBQ and drinks at our place. FH isn't a big drinker/party go-er....so he could get extremely messy!!!

I spent my Sunday getting all the favours in their boxes and they are ready to go. We bought all the beer for the reception aswell. I have around 10 placecards to complete.

We've completed the seating chart, which wasn't as difficult as I thought.

What's left to do? I have no idea I'm trying not to get myself worried or stressed over the little things. My theory is, if I haven't done it yet, it's not that important!

23 days to go!

You're sounding very organised and in control which is a good thing

Can't wait to see photos of your hens party!!

Have a fantastic time this weekend, can't wait to see your piccies! :) Your wedding is going to be fabulous, I'm really looking forward to hearing all about it! Not long now, yaaay! :)

Ok I had a bit of a bridezilla moment last night. My FFIL is hiring a suit for the wedding from the same place as the boys. That's not the problem. FH told me last night that FFIL finally got around to doing it last week, excellent!! MY future IL really have no idea when it to fashion!!!!

Ummm he hired the only other brown suit from the place, not the exact same as the boys, but pretty freakin close! Am I wrong for getting angry about it? Ok, so the tie and everything is different, but really WHY GET THE ONLY OTHER BROWN ONE!?!
'He wanted to suit the GMs, without being the same' ummm NO!!!! You aren't there to match the bridal party, you are there as 'Dad', people will know who you are.

I feel petty now for getting angry about it, but still it is really getting on my nerves. I know I won't even notice on the day, but I still wanted to punch him last night.

OK petty rant over

[Mez_85]

I don't blame you for getting annoyed Stace I would hate for someone to look like they are part of the bridal party when they aren't in it!

I guess he just wanted to feel a part of it in some way... Well that is the way I would look at it so I could shrug it off
