hens on tour

WELL ITS time to think about hen doooooooo-yey!!! I am booking it soon to make sure everyone can come because you have to leave singledom with a bang.
I am thinking about going to France next July and I hope all my fam and friends can make it. Last year when my sister in law got married she took us all to Barcelona.
We thought it would be a laugh to take her on a hen here too. We hired Grants bar in Formby and threw a surprise party before heading off to Shorrocks.
Not before giving her a veil, L-plates and of course Blow up Bernie.
Bernie was the same size as Holly, tattooed and naked but not only did she have the embarrassment when we revealed him to her, we thought it would be funny to handcuff her to him so she couldn’t lose him.
She did put up a small fight at first but at three o’clock in the morning and quite a few drinks later she was slow dancing with him on the dance floor at Shorrocks.
This has made me slightly nervous about the revenge that may come. She already knows what she is doing for my hen here and Its 9 months away!!!
If you are a bride who works, I understand your pain. At the moment everything is done at the weekend and things get pushed back all the time.
My advice is get a chief bridesmaid or maids who are helpful. Luckily mine have been angels helping me arrange appointments and planning my hen.
We took Gareth to look at male wedding attire last week and we have decided to go black and white and I must it made me a bit choked.
It made it all feel more real that we are actually getting married. He keeps guessing at my dress but I am giving nothing away he even reads this to get clues.
We are having our tasting for the food on Thursday so I will let you know how that goes next time yum yum.
Bye for now ...

Well since we last spoke I dragged mum along to London to see “the dress”. She really liked it but would like me to have one more look round here first to save me traipsing back and forward to London for fittings-which, I suppose, is sensible.
After deciding the dress fit but not in the chest department I had to meet the man who can only be described as Frank (or Fronk) from Father of the Bride.
After prodding and poking me in all different places a mumbling something about a Sophia Loren bust causing back cleavage I was ready to get changed.
One thing I have found about dresses is you know you will feel nice in anything because it is a wedding dress but when you have found the one it is a totally different feeling so don’t settle try everything on!!
We are taking a trip to Rebecca Hatton Bridalwear in Southport tomorrow to nose around the dresses to see if I can fall in love with something similar.
Carrington's the caterer have been in touch about a food tasting which made Gareth salivate and is probably the only thing he has shown an interest in.
We are still yet to meet with our priest but hopefully that will all be ok and we have recruited June from World of Flowers St John’s Road to do ours.
She is brilliant. In the window of her shop she has even created pearly gates out of flowers for a funeral once so I am feel I am in good hands.
Flowers can be very pricey so you are better deciding exactly what you want and your budget. Take that with you instead of a florist doing what they want and the price spiralling out of control.
Just to finish on a funny wedding story I heard: A photographer had taken pictures at a wedding. Whilst the couple were on their Honeymoon, the Bride’s father, who was not originally from England visited him at his studio.
He said he needed urgent prints from the wedding to send to his family back home. The only other small request was that the photographer digitally replace the groom’s bald head with a full mane of hair!!!!
He said he did not want the people back home to know his daughter had married a bald man!! The photographer declined.
You thought your in-laws were bad!!!!
