    oh sweetie, i am tempted to say "stop torturing yourself".

    i bet you've done heaps of planning for The Big Day.

    Whatever happens, you will be married by the end of it, and that is the whole reason for the wedding isn't it? to be married to the person you love.

    big hugs to you, i hope you are able to sleep. (not lay awake making lists).

    Thank-you Gigi, I wish I were able to do as you say. The mental lists are driving me bonkers.

    I woke myself up at 4am this morning because I suddenly remembered that I hadn't organized for anyone to pick up the balloons and deliver them. Could have waited until morning, but nooo I had to get up and write myself a note to organize it when everyone else was awake at a decent hour. lol

    Oh I will look back on this and laugh at how stupid it all is.

    keep a notebook by your bed

    each time you think of something, sit up, lamp on, write it in notebook

    it's written down now
    so you can sleep, knowing you will have that notebook to refer to in the morning

    BIG HUGS TO YOU
    weddings sound very stressful to me!

    my ZIP on my dress broke!!! Yes my $2500 dress that was professionally (sp?) made broke the day of my wedding! half way up too, so I almost couldn't breath when they tried to get it off me. Yes I laugh now, & did find out that had a bad batch of zips & it happened to several poor girls around the same time. Though funniest part of the story, 2yrs earlier at my sis wedding we decided to try on our bridesmaide dresses that night for fun & YES my zip broke!!! small town, so mum rang the dress maker & said "you will be here to fix it 7am whilst we get our hair etc done"...all done no worries. So when it came to my special day Mum made me buy a sewing kit and we actually had to use it! the photographer thought it was great, he got some great pictures.
    Apart from that it was a great day & I'm sure your's will be everything you want it to be & more!

    The cd started skipping as i walked down the aisle and they had to turn it off, so I had no music... double check your cd's

    My dad got sick and couldn't walk me down the aisle, but that was unavoidable.

    Ds chucked a massive tanty at the start of the ceremony, also unavoidable but try not to miss a day nap with your munchkin!

    My nan has a theory that something is guarenteed to go wrong, so it's best if it's a little thing that happens early on in the day. So if something does go wrong, just breath a sigh of relief that the worst is over with and there will be no more hiccups from then in

    Hi cheeky monkey are you getting ready at home? Because I didn't and that ended up a real pain. I had things in three separate motel rooms and I was running from room to room searching for things. Bridesmaid and mother were of no help.

    Just if you are getting ready at someone else's home or a hotel room make sure you bring all you need and have it with you.

    I wish you a great day
