Hello My Lovelies
I thought I would share this with you, today we received our engagement photograph's which a good friend of mine have done, from Front Row Film (http://frontrowfilmshq.co.uk/). All I have done is use the free website Fotor (http://www.fotor.com/) to create the collage.
5 weeks to go tomorrow! Before I know it I will be sharing my wedding snaps. But for now were going to discuss the collections of photos we would like, so enjoy our faces....
Hello Everyone,
Well as of today it is 6 weeks, 2 days, 19 hours until our wedding, (this count down is sponsored bu the Wedding Countdown app, which is free on Play Store, if you would like to remind people when they say "the wedding is ages away"!) Well I thought I would have a look back at what I thought I had learnt and give you an updated top 10. I did this blog first 13 months to the wedding with a reviewed version at the 6 month stage. I'm not going to re-write them, instead link is below, you can have a read and I'll just summarize
http://disneygirlgrowsup.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/10-things-ive-discovered-planning.html
1:- It's Your Day! LIES! BIG FAT LIES!
Well that situation has still not improved, but more of our friends are coming, I feel the frustrations in my voice 6 months ago and that is nothing!
2:- Everyone Has An Opinion
I just walk out the room now.
3:- Family Involvement!
Everyone still keeps on, about this or that, no one wants you to be stressed out but you will!
4:- The Tears and Arguments!
I will talk more about this in the new list!
5:- Being Emotional Crushed!
I have moments of wondering if I still care?
6:- Making It Yourself!
HAHAHAHAHAHA, it will be worth it right?
7:- Your Family Must Secretly Hate You!
Still believe this! Except it now includes your friends and businesses too! Love you all dearly.
8:- Everyone Has An Uncle K**b Head or 5!
So many people have recently earned this title! We have people coming we never intended on inviting, we have one uncle refusing to tell us who his plus 1 is, another wanting to give a speech and a possible bans on 1 Direction and other horrific music.
9:- Diet! HA!
Well this plan hasn't happened! Can't work out currently.
10:- On The Verge!
Waved the verge goodbye 2 weeks ago! Can't see it anymore!
So onto my new list. I will openly admit that this is not a happy/positive list, anyone who is extremely happy at this point are somewhat fooling themselves! So here we go......
1:- Bye, Bye Money
I bet you did not think of all those little details and extras did you? Well neither did we, now I just hand over my card no longer caring, for example I bet you did not think you wanted to upgrade your red wine, well that was before you tried the Merlot, goodbye £41.00 for an upgrade. Oh I've rand out of Lustre card bye, bye £20.24 and so it goes.
2:- Time To Start Looking After Yourself!
I will blog a bit more about this, but this also follows in the Bye, Bye Money theme. Because you want to look your best, i'm spending more money on this. But my number one suggest is do not hurt yourself before the wedding! I mentioned in a previous blog I have damaged my knee, nice bit of soft tissues damage there, plus needing physiotherapy until next year. Please look after yourself.
3:- It's Hard To Be Understanding.
We've had a lot of problems getting people to respond to our invites in the first place but had quiet a few people change their minds recently and i'm going to be brutally honest for all Brides out there and drop the bombshell! First off my response to people not responding to RSVP's, if we've had to chase a response off you for you to say your not coming, but tell us your upset, i'm sorry for it being about your emotions! I want to be honest and say whatever your response you will sound sarcastic. Simple by saying "Thank you for letting me know", well no you didn't, I had to chase you! And trust me, hurts us more than you, it's our wedding your not attending. My advice is think carefully about your response, but if your the person not able to attend give a good reason (lack of reason is the worst) if you want sympathy, if not it's just a hallow reason which is difficult to respond too.
And i'm going to put it out there, changing your mind 8 weeks before the wedding is well impolite and discourteous! No matter what it is, it is hard to be understanding with so much money, emotion and organisation involved. But it's better to say something nice which isn't genuine than being rude in return.
4:- God Help Yourself If You Do Get Hurt!
I've officially been stuck in the house for 6 weeks! Which means I've done nothing but wedding arrangements and hospital appointments. I'm too far away from family and friends to expect any visits, so I have nothing to discuss other than the wedding and my knee. And if I am honest I am suffering from being low, today is one of those days, where all I want to do is cry. Planing a wedding you need a good distraction, like work, being able get out, socializing!
5:- Frosty Relationships
Everyone is stressed, or your at the point of not wanting to listen to their opinions means you feel like everyone dislikes you! The past few days, I've found myself not wanting to talk to anyone as either they're not listening or I do not want too!
6:- Herding Cats!
You'd think it would be easier getting everyone together being so close to the wedding, but nope! How dare people have a life outside of this wedding! I have recently found not only do I but Mike has also been doing the hand smacking thing.
7:- The Harsh Reality!
Everyone is looking forward to a good party but they are not really that bothered! The relations with close family and friends are already tested and on a fine line. It could be due to be me feeling down, but the reality is I'm looking forward to the wedding being over and just being married. I find it very hard to feel excited, I'm either feeling frustrated or stressed. Have I had a wedding break down?
8:- Battles Aren't Over!
They are just getting more intense and you feel pretty done!
9:- I've Ordered What?
Does Wedding Brain exist? Like pregnancy brain? I'm forgetting some of the things I have ordered and paid for! Nice surprise on the wedding day!
10:- I've Become The To Do List Queen!
I love a good to do list. I do a new one every week! Everyone is getting a to do list!
So what do you think? I wanted to be brutally honest with you as I could be! What problems you had? Agree or disagree?
