Hi All
Well here is my report and pics
Wednesday: finished work not a second too soon!! lol had a really nice card and a bottle of champers from everyone ? (at this point still not sunk in I was getting married in 2 days time lol)
Thursday: woke up very early, went to pick up the cake which is quite funny (now at the time it wasnt) as they didnt have an order under OH name (Id paid on his card so thought it would be under his name) they did find it under mine thank god then we made the table plan as we wasnt sure if some of OH elderly family members could attend. We then got everything ready to pack the car up on the Friday
Friday: Again up early still not nervous or worried or stressed packed the car up and headed off to the hotel. On the way we picked up the bridesmaid dresses which looked fab!! we then checked in - suite was HUGE!!!!! had a living room, massive bathroom and 4 poster bed in the bedroom. ? still not nervous or stressed. as we got married in my home town I had ordered my dress from the same town so me my mom went to collect my dress she then brought it to the hotel (it was hidden in a bag) OH family all started to check in (most had travelled for hours so were stopping two nights) I then went off to meet my MOH from work in town and go to get some goodies for the night (MOH was stopping at the hotel as well so we had planned a night of watching a dvd painting nails and drinking wine) however when we got to tesco we both got asked for ID!!!!!!! I had mine but my MOH didnt so they wouldnt serve us!!! (suppose being 25 and 24 we may have looked younger) so we went to the hotel unpacked and went to meet most of OH family. we then got dressed for dinner and me OH, MOH best man, my parents his parents (who were meeting for the first time as living over 200 miles apart had never met!!) and Oh brother had dinner in the hotel and had drinks till quite late into the morning (well I went to bed at about midnight OH stayed up until 2am!!)
Saturday: The BIG day ok so I should prob say I had never really understood why brides awoke so early at 5am but guess what time I was up.......5.20am LOL so i had a little look outside not a cloud in the sky so I went back to bed till 7.30 I then showered, kicked OH out to the best mans room grabbed my MOH from her room and went for breakfast Oh had breakfast with his best man so after MOH and I had finished we went over I kissed him goodbye and went to get ready. My other bridesmaids arrived and so did the hair dresser - she did all our hairs whilst we did our make up it was then time to get dressed BM did first then helped me into my dress then the photographer arrived took some pics of OH and best man in the grounds then once they had been hidden away we went outside for some photos with my BM and parents. It was then time for the registra - still not feeling nervous or stressed (i think I was having an out of body experience it was like it was me but not me lol) then the music started and the BM walked down then MOH with my nephew then me and my dad which is when my tummy jumped abit!!! ceremony went well as I approached I couldnt get anymore nervous as I had my veil over my face and couldnt see anyone very well LOL then as we turned and faced everyone to leave I caught the eyes of my friend who me and OH hadnt seen in years and I got quite upset! lol but held it together and left the room as man and wife
After all the pics (seriously he took loads!!) we had the line up and sat down for dinner speeches were fab OH got quite emotional, and everyone laughed at my dads and best mans speech then dinner!! After dinner I popped upstairs for half hour whilst my husband held down the fort. I came back down and mingled with guests. The evening guests started to arrive we had our first dance - was fab then we spent most the night chatting to guests and having a dance
IF you have made it this far well done hes a pic or two!!
