I'm getting married in the morning.......

What a manic month this has been.  I never thought arranging a wedding would be so stressful!!! I have enjoyed everyminute though!  I have only lost 5llbs in the last month but I seem to have lost inches.  I am fitting into a 14 top in some clothes and my 14 skirts are loose.  I have had to get my wedding dress altered not only did I have to have a few nips and tucks but it had to be taken up! as my hips have got smaller the dress has dropped and was too long for me.  Perfect now though.

My absolutley fabulous best friends organised my hen weekend for me.  We hired a cottage for the weekend, not too far from home, close enough for people to just pop over.  We had 8 girls staying for the whole weekend, 2 came over every day and around another 10 came over for the big party on the Saturday night. 

When we arrived on the Friday we all put on our swimming costumes and jumped straight into the pool.  Then we had a pjama party.  I had not laughed so much for ages, we had a great time.  One of the girls started off a game which has apparantly took the world by storm... The lie down game! you just find somewhere odd to lie down, lie down and have your photo taken! So funny, we were all over the place finding strange places to lie down, then all ended in heap in the middle of the hall.

On the Saturday we started off the day with some lazing in the sun.  We then had a photographer do a little bit of a photo shoot and then started the pool party.  A great afternoon was had by all. 

We then started getting ready for the Saturday night. The girls had chosen a theme.  They all kept it secret from me and kept me locked in a room blind folded whilst everyone got ready.  They then dressed me, did my hair and make up, carefully took me down the stairs to where all my friends were waiting before I was allowed to see what they had done! It was great, they chose Sex in the City as the theme.  Everyone was looking so glam.  I looked in the mirror and I could not believe it was me!  I had spent weeks worrying what they were going to do to me and they did so well, I was amazed.  I found out that they had dressed me as Samantha, who by the way is a slut!!! but a classy slut!!! LOL! more of a couger! I don't watch the programme so I didn't know the charactor! Anyway, We all went on to yet again the most amazing night.  I am so lucky to have such good friends.  Here a few pickies from the weekend....








Thank you to my two best friends Charlie and Hammie for the organising and effort put in, and thank you to all my girlfriends who came along and made it so special.

Well that extra llb I lost put at a total weight loss of 8 stone!  I am so amazed! I feel so good and I can't wait until I become Mrs Johnson at 11:30am tomorrow.  Looking forward to the next chapter of my life.
