2014 Brides

Realtine

Yep 7 weeks for us and for the most part it's almost all done, couple of things left to do - it's all organized tho, at least in my head!

(I'm a bit peeded off today off with some negative comments I've heard back from his side - but no matter, I refuse to let some people drag me down):mad:

So yep, it's all very close now.:eek:

We got engaged just before Chirstmas, and are at right midpoint of saving, saving, saving!!!!!

Getting married New years eve, all deposits paid on bigger items and trying not to think too much of the whole thing, for now.

Looking forward to July, because we have decided to take out a loan and pay most things off in one go(bar retainers just in case!). The loan is only to give us a head start and we will able to repay quickly enough at a lower rate than we have been saving. I hate saving and am thoroughly bored with the process.

The only big thing left is my dress. This however has to be left for now. I am seriously working on weight loss, but not just weight loss for the day - working on my entire relationship with food and my fitness levels. Its another slow progress, but I am making headway with it. Going to wait untill september and have appointments made for the oxfam and bernados wedding dress shops in dublin. I am frustrated that I can't try on dresses yet but there would be no point, as my shape is changing slowly but surely - down from size 22 at our engagement party in Jan to a size 16, aiming for a 12!

We also ended up avoiding any wedding fairs whatsoever as I am a woeful impulse buyer and our budget is quite strict - we have what we want - no need for my impulse purchases!!!

Well done Birdie!

Don't even get me started it's gotten worse since then lol but we'll get through it Like you said what an end to the year it will be. I cannot wait to count down at midnight as a newly married couple. I bet you can't either.

Wow! Fair play. My excess weight is probably the thing that's making me drag my heels about booking my wedding. I don't want to be upset by it closer the time, but I also don't know can I shift it fast enough! It also makes dress shopping complicated- I don't like the idea of buying a dress that fits me now, because that's like giving up and saying it's ok to hang on to the extra pounds!!
