planning started out pretty normal my mom i a seamstress so she was making the maid of honors dress who was my sister, 3 flowergirls dresses, 2 waistcoats, 4 cravats and 100 chair covers. i know this probably sounds alot but my mom is a really good seamstress and all thi was planned and decided 1 1/2 years before the wedding ut the ost important thing she was making was my wedding dress which meant so much to me because it would be so personal and when i pass it to my daughter it would have personal history. ...... so forward to the wedding day we're due to married @ 11am it is 11am and i have no dress the girls have no dress, the rooms havent been decorated theres no cake the cars have been outside for an hour 1/2 and i am in floods of tears whilst my h2b is waiting at the altar. now a week before the wedding i forced my mom to let me try on my dress as i couldnt decide how i wanted to do my hair if my shoes realy matched etc.. she was very reluctant but did it anyway, now 8 mths before i bought a very basic dress and just wanted to add my own lace and bling to it which my mo said she was happy with and that she was cracking on, everytime i wanted to see the dress she would say she didnt want to spoil the surprise and wanted me to see it when it was virtually finished so i waited and waited (had other things to do anyway) i also ad a major operation 4 months before the wedding so i was very distarcted but i still managed to sort all the cars the guys clothes the decorations the rings the programmes the menus etc... the only thing i hadnt done was my dress the girls dresses the cake and the chair covers and my mom said she had arranged the helpers to decorate the venues. so when it came to the week before i was very concerned about my dress but when i put it on i was so delighted my mom assured me that everything would be done in time and everything was on track so with me being heavily mdicated and exhausted i believed her after all its my mom but the night before the wedding instead of relaxing and feeling nervous i was in tears as we had spent thousands on decorations which was now all over the house and the help my mom had promised never arrived so i had to call my h2b and ask hm to help, he was not impressed to say the least and actually called off the wedding, but then 2hrs later he came round and said he loved me and still wanted to marry it is our wedding day, so we load our small car with as much as we could and head to the reception to at least put the menus out, now he is a chef and had done the catering for our wedding himself with a team of 5 others chefs he works with so they had been cooking for 2 days straight hardly any sleep but they all chipped in to help dress the room as much as possible but by the time we brought the deco to the venue it was 4am so 2 hrs later no sleep for 2 days straight we had to sleep so i sent my h2b to his best mans house and i headed to my mom's house
