Wedding sos

IT has got serious. The diet has started. There is no way on this earth I am being a chubby bride so boot camp has begun.
I have taken on the help of my two friends to have people to giggle with as I exercise. What I didn’t realise was one should have been a slave driver and has not let me stop for three weeks.
We have a regime of three gym classes a week and three swimming sessions consisting of 100- yes you heard me -100 lengths!
The diet has not been as successful but its getting there I will be a rake on that wedding day if it kills me!
For more information go to www.confettishow.co.uk
An e-mail of help descended into my inbox this week. An invitation to the confetti bridal show at the Echo Arena on Feb 9 and 10, from 10am to 4pm.
It is the biggest bridal show in the North West and it is everything you could wish for under one roof.
It has the very best in bridal fashion, grooms formal wear, venues, cars, cakes and tiaras plus so much more without having to make an appointment.
There is a catwalk show which takes place three times a day which guarantees to show something for every bride, groom, bridesmaid page boy and not forgetting mother of the bride.
There is also a free goody bag for brides to be. Tickets are £6 and can be bought by calling 0845 8003680.
When I first got engaged I bought the Wedding Bible as lots of people recommended it to me.
Sarah Haywood, who wrote the Wedding Bible will be on hand at the Confetti show to offer tips to brides to be.
Diana Mather will also be on hand to dish out advice on wedding etiquette and tips for how everyone should conduct themselves.
There will also by a wedding hair demo by Minsky’s, a perfect make up demonstration and wedding entertainment.
I don’t know about you but I can't wait although I am nearly there a could do with a few last minute pointers to help.
Maybe I will see you there.

New Year, New Plans
Posted by Jennifer on January 3, 2008 3:28 PM
As the bell tolled midnight on New Years eve I decided it is time to get organised with the wedding. It will only make a good wedding if it has been thoroughly organised.
As of this moment I get married in approx 30 weeks!!!!! Scary!
I have my dress which is the most exciting part. I need to organise Bridesmaids but I have a few ideas in mind. I am hiring a lady called Cath in Maghull who is an excellent dress maker. You can hand her any picture from a magazine and she can recreate the dress.
For people interested in her number contact me. I will upload pictures of the dresses she made for my brothers wedding.
I have finalised catering plans, we had our tasting and it was delicious. Helen and Paul at Carringtons came to our house and cooked us dinner it was amazing. We had black pudding tarts to start, Beef with horse radish mash and veg for main and the most delicious pudding ever- shortbread fingers dipped in melted chocolate!! yum yum....
My next big fear is finalising the guest list. It is so hard to decide who comes in the day and who comes in the night. It is really important though as you don’t want to forget or leave anyone out!
I have a venue and a church and music. I need to sort invites, cars and meet with my florist.
I recently went to a friend of ours wedding and it was lovely. She is very free spirited and arrived in a camper van.
Her dress was beautiful it was off the shoulders but with chiffon sleeves - very hippy and medieval- she looked lovely.
They wrote their own vows as well which were lovely and had half the row crying.
Our photographer is Paul Fisher, who is taking us to the Iron men for some shots!!! Paul is based in Formby and takes beautiful pictures.
If anyone is looking for any advice with wedding plans I have scoured the country for things so please do not hesitate to comment.
