Day 39 - (36 days left till my wedding!!!)
Hi Pix
Yeah it's 5 weeks tomorrow exactly (OMG!!!!)
I picked my dress in July last year but ever since then
I've spent my time worrying about other things... (mainly to do with my bridesmaids - you know the sort of thing, style of their dresses/which colour/Tiara or not?/shoes & bags/keeping them both happy etc etc...)
But my most stressful decision BY FAR!! was ordering our flowers!!!!
Us girls are supposed to know about stuff like this instinctively aren't we????
Must've missed out on that particular gene when I was being conceived.... maybe that'll explain why I got "over-dosed" with "MUST BUY MORE SHOES" traits??? (more like compulsions actually!!) he he!!
What can I say? I'm just not a flowery type of girl - don't get me wrong - I think they look nice while they're still growing but once they've been picked they are slowly dying (Awww!)
So I eventually opted for artificial flowers... yeah I know what you're thinking!!! ARTIFICIAL??? = Tacky & old fashioned? YUK!!!
Those were my thoughts exactly before I did a bit of research & found a FANTASTIC website and ordered everything from there. I must admit... I was fairly anxious waiting for them to arrive, but they were here within 2 wks and I was literally overjoyed when I saw them!!:bliss:
Not sure if i'm allowed to say where I got them from (incase it's seen as advertising) but if anyone wants more info just send me a private message & I'll give you the link.
Pix - if you're still reading & haven't fallen asleep yet?!!
No pics of me in my dress yet sorry...
As I've mentioned at the beginning of this thread -
(I know it's getting a bit long & rambly now, so most of you won't have read it) - anyway to cut a long story short, I was recommended to order size 18 but decided to order a 16 to give me an incentive to lose weight.
I reckoned I'd probably need to lose around a stone which should've been easily achievable, but I'm obviously the worlds worst dieter & although I'd struggled to lose 1/2 a stone before my 1st fitting (10th FEB) - I ACTUALLY MEASURED BIGGER??!!!
How does thet work???? (trying my dress on should've been amazing but was actually really horrible) There was NO WAY on earth the dress would even come close to zipping up at the back :cry: the shop assistant was rather abrupt - more or less saying I didn't have a hope in hell of losing enough weight in time for the wedding! & I was on the verge of tears :cry:
So needless to say... I've been avoiding the bridal shop like the plague & I'm trying to leave it as long as possible before stepping foot in there again!!!
I was 14 stone 7lbs when I tried it on & I'm 13 stone 3lbs now but wanna wait another 2wks if I can get away with it!
That way I'll be down to 12 stone something & will take GREAT satisfaction
in seeing the shop assistants face
when she realises she may even have to take the dress in slightly!!! (does that make me a little bit evil??)
Sorry for the longest post ever guys.... but I haven't had much of a chance to come on here lataly & had a lot of stuff to get off my chest!!!
Going for my official weigh in tonight so keep your fingers crossed for me & help me get revenge on "(skinny) horrid shop girl"
Love Nic x
