My parents have gone to Egypt for a week, so I had to take my Nan to my parents house to look after their dogs.
It worked out really well, because the following day I had to pick up my wedding dress anyway!
So I picked up my Nan on Friday night after work, and realized I'd forgotten my camera about 20 mins up the motorway. I turned round, ran in my house and picked it up - I couldn't NOT have photographs of my dress!
I got to my parents house, and put the camera battery on charge. Phew! It hasn't been charged since January, so the battery was running low and I didn't want to risk not having photographs on Saturday!
On Saturday morning, my sister shouted at me loads! As you know (see previous post if you don't) I've been having a crappy time, and I'm having to sleep a LOT. By the time I'd got to my parents house on Friday night, it was 2am, and although I went to bed straight away, I needed to be up at 8am to get ready. I wasn't up until 8:30 and my sister was going crazy! Well, the tears came, and about 3 cigarettes later we were ready to go. I grabbed the camera and off to pick up the dress we went!
I'm having my dress alterations done at a different shop to where I bought my dress, so I had to try it on at that shop and then drive it to the other place, which is about 25 miles away from the first! The dress was a VERY tight fit, and I had to take off my bra to give extra room!
We got to the second shop and after walking across the town with my dress draped over my arm, my handbag in my other hand and my camera on my back, I was pretty hot and flustered, and sticky! I came to trying on the dress in the second shop and it wouldn't fasten all the way to the top. Apparently your body swells when you're hot...
I asked my sister to take a couple of photographs...We got out the camera to find that it wasn't working. Like a tool I'd forgotten to put the battery back in that morning! Eek! So my sister had to use the USELESS camera on her blackberry to take a photograph.
I'm off to try the dress in another 2 weeks with the girls and my neice. It will be the first time we've all had our dresses on together...And I'll be making sure that I take the camera and battery next time!

Hey Geina...Anything with malibu would be good right now...Except I'm on a health kick to get into this dress, so only water allowed!
Thank, Jayne! I can't wait to go and take detail photographs with my camera! My sisters camera phone is USELESS! That will be in 2 weeks, so I really, really, really can't wait! Hopefully I can manage to lose a bit of weight between now and then too, so that my dress zips comfortably!
Oh, and 2 weeks today, my veil will be ready as well! They're making it exactly how I want for £45...As opposed to the one I liked (which my veil will match) for £130 in the other shop! Wooo!
Only 9 weeks now, Jayne! I can't wait!
