I'm always so busy with work that I have such little time left for planning. Its a shame because I want to enjoy it more.

I'm also really shocked at the different prices that I've been quoted for services - trying to sort hair/makeup artist at the moment for me, 3 bridesmaids and the two mothers, quotes range from £315 to nearly £700!

I would just like to say OMG I have soo much to do and had forgotten about readings eek I may just start panicking again, Ive had a week off work have relaxed and now feel that my stress levels are going up and up. I agree with you shoe_shopper im always at sodding work and have no time to do wedding stuff i generally work about 40+hours per week and when I get home im too tired.
