Dress Stress

Well..... 5 weeks today! 35 days to go until i become a Mrs.
I'm sure there is lots to write about but its just a case of remembering it all.
We both have our wedding bands now, and my engagement ring has been resized so it wont keep falling off now. The bridesmaids have fitted on their dresses with their shoes and just one needs turning up a little. Hair and make up trials have been done and very happy with at last.
I had a lovely day out in norwich with a friend from work last week. We went a did a little bit of shopping and i started looking for some wedding day perfume. We smelt so many it was all you could smell by the end of the day. I came home with 18 little sample cards sprayed with many fragrances! After coming come although i'd brought so many home i managed to narrow the 18 down to 3.
Then we had a bit of lunch and sat and ate in the sunshine. Our next stop was doctor spa fish. This is the current craze where they have garra rufa fish in a tank and you put your feet in with them and as they are scavengers they will eat the dead/hard skin off your feet. It was a a very strange feeling. Very tickley. Rather like putting your feet into really fizzy lemonade. I would have it done again and id like to before the wedding gets here.
So now im on my annual leave ive been getting a few last minute things done, have only two more pew ends to finish, done the last bit of bunting that i needed for my thank you card design, filled in all our choices for the way we want to ceremony to run so we have our appointment with the registrar who will marry us on the 18th of april.
Had a lovely day with mum on wednesday. First of all i went back to felixstowe to meet up with my bridesmaids and sort timings of when they will be getting there on the day ready for hair make up etc. After that i met mum for lunch and we wandered into the town. We walked passed a shop which had some lovely wedding outfits in the window. We both said how lovely it was. We went for a coffee to think about it. Then i was spoilt rotten and mum treated me to a dress and shrug for our honey moon. I also found my favourite perfume from the list of three. It is sooooooo lovely.
Next we went back to the shop where we saw the dress for mum in the window. She tried it on and i sat in the changing area and waited. She pulled the curtain open and she looked lovely. She tried a purple fascinator on in purple to match but i didnt look quite right so the lady put a black one on which had a green tinge to it and that looked lovely. I said you look more like a brides mother now and it made her a bit teary! She really wasnt looking forward to finding something to wear so she feel relieved now which has made us both happy.

Yesterday was another good day. I had the car and went to see Future mother in law for a cuppa and we had pancakes for lunch. Before i filled my belly with those though, i had a fit on of my dress. I have a pound to loose to get my three stone award but.........IT FITS!!! I was so pleased i couldnt stop grinning! Ive been so worried that i would never get into it and mums been worrying me saying that i might have to look for another dress! Im just so relieved now it fits me! That's nine months of hard work, and three stone (ish) lost all paying off! Very happy bride to be.
