#leabeegotmarried the report :) finally complete :)

Leabee28, 11 April, 2012 at 12:30 Posted on Planning 0 52

So first off an apology it's took me a moon to get round to this but here goes........grab a brew and I have cake left if anyone wants some?

I have to say I was probably that excited for the wedding I could of pee'd if you are friends on Facebook group you will know this!!

It all stated to become real when I finished work the week before even tho I ended up bloody working the weekend from home!!!! It kicked in on the Saturday the week before that this time next week I would be getting married Smiley smile but first let me tell you about the tears over a hotpot!!

So we got round to going for our food tasting it was amazing I actually couldn't breath I was that full and got 3 puddings to try as im allergic to eggs, after the meal we finalised all the details over food I wanted crispy parsnips lol Smiley smile and the night Buffett, we picked a curry as a hot dish originally along with other bits etc but it was when I realised that some may not like it that I was swaying towards hotpot (my gran is scotch so brought up on winter warmers) and trying to explain this to oh the tears just came and came and came so here I am sat in front of the people who are organising the wedding in floods of tears that it's march and people would want something warm!! Who was I to know that the grandad's were going to sort the sunshine out lol!! £360 later we leave with added hotpot!! Oh and everyone laughed as I asked the venue to put outside weather dependant there response "it's march"

......bridesmaid oh down!!! (mon)

My chief bridesmaid calls me in a panic her oh has been waiting for an operation and in the post he gets a letter to say he can go in....on FRIDAY!! And he wouldn't be able to come!!!

...the arrival of the choo's!!! (wed)


Well girls the husband did good!!! It's my birthday four days after the wedding and we needed to nip to Trafford centre to get oh & best man a new shirt as the ones from the hire company were not nice (will explain later) and didn't have time to go back!! So here I am hair scrapped back, casual jeans and looking like I really could not be bothered to shop for those who know you can cut through selfridges to one of the car parks so I always have a sneaky peak at shoes and oh turns to me and said how would you like a pair for your birthday as you always wanted to get married in choo's well. I nearly dropped down dead!! So after trying on 6 pairs (don't get to do it that often) my heart settled on these bad boys!!!!


......I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it

Waking up on the Friday morning the day before the wedding was so strange, grandads in the sky had done the best job and we were set to have the hottest day in march ever!! Told you I would be married outside Smiley smile my bridesmaid arrived around 1 and we packed both the cars up how much stuff we had was unbelievable!!! Lol and went to collect my dress from gran's I drive a convertible beetle so roof down, ray ban's on with me singing like the person who they bring back on the x factor they are that crap going to the chapel lol!!

We arrived at the hotel, unpacked and set about a glass of wine waiting for the rest of te family to arrive to head out for a meal!


Back soon....

    Ready for part 2?..........................

    so we went out for a lovely meal with all the wedding party, me & the girls put a midnight ban on lights out and no talking lol. We gets back to the hotel and needed to wash hair that night etc wave bye to bye to midnight lol about 2am I finally dropped off only to wake 2hrs later as the hotel still had the winter heating on!! So here we are me and both bridesmaids lay with just our nicks on sweating buckets!!! Before we knew it it was 7am and time to get up!! So up I get looking like absolute death with a banging headache in need of chocolate!! Good job the best man and FIL are diabetic chocolate was to hand lol!!!

    Before I knew it all our hairs were done and I was popping downstairs to meet Darren our photographer & his wife had arrived and Carolyn & Sue who did our flowers and stationary these ladies are like adoptive aunts we met them at a wedding fayre in Debenhams and they are so lovely they even sent our cats Christmas presents!! Anyway here’s a few shots from the morning getting ready, setting the room up.






    By now I was getting really frustrated with people asking if I was ok I just wanted to get to the end of the aisle and see oh

    …………Boys will be boys!!!

    Heres some snap’s off the boys getting ready it took mum to finally sort button holes!!!




    to be continued.....

    The time had come to get into the dress this was the bit I was looking forward to the most and a tip from my recently married friend jess290280 hear I am stood in my bra and nicks with a bloody hoop shoved between my legs so I could stand into my dress the problem being is I couldn’t step with it between my legs what a bloody nightmare don’t teach you this at the dress shop lol!!!


    ………..strike a pose!!

    Where the hell do you put your flowers!! Exactly so here I am tryin to look all prim and proper on my photos and I have flowers that I don’t know where to put and a veil that is driving me insane already here is some shots my fav is that as I came out of the room I could see the ceremony all set up J




    …………..mission impossible!!

    to get lea down the stairs through reception and in to the venue room without anyone seeing me well was as hard as you would expect lol!! Mark kept the guest entertained as I creaped past and got some fab outside shots with my girls and mum J



    …………spanish inquisition


    So they finally arrived the registar’s that is and first thing they say sorry were late the last bride didn’t turn up!!!!!!! So we went through the whole process of who you are and where you come from bit like our cilla, lol she walks me though the ceremony and it was then right then that I felt it the little bubbling feeling you get when your trying to stop your bottom lip going it was starting I had been so composed all day and now it was hitting I was about to look to my future with the most amazing person possible….i will not cry…. I will not cry….ok I may cry a little!! Andrew our co-ordinator told me he would be back in 5 mins for me….time for a little lippy

    I was going to be quite straight faced walking down the aisle but those on facebook know how excited I was and I couldn’t contain my smile as I saw all our friends and family, one of my close friends is pure scouse and I was dying to see her fascinator and I bloody missed it lol will flash later.


    I couldn’t hear the music I just had one goal to get to the top and hold marks hand and I made it no trips, no falls, no tears J

    Well it was all going so well in the tears stage until I had to speak and then they came I really struggle with the first “legal” bit and oh just took my hand and squeezed it and I could hear my bm sob in the background this didn’t help!! I took a deep breath and I was back to giggly old me


    we had 2 readings during the service and this is when one of my fav pictures was taken without us knowing off the oh feeling my bum lol!!


    ……I now pronounce you!

    This was it the moment we had waited for the moment that I knew was the most exciting point in my life and the moment I knew that the man stood in front of me was the best thing ever to happen and I was about to become his wife. No more tears throughout the vows and the ring exchange…..


    ...........I now pronounce you Husband & Wife

    we had done it we got hitched, now for the you may kiss the bride we are not public kissers but we do hold hands and all I could remember was the facebook chat about the “kiss” and not being a full blown snog but an excited thanks for the present kiss lol


    we went and did all the legal bit signing the register for a few days after we couldn’t work out what everyone was laughing at on the pictures appearing our best man oh bro said It was like being Jordan getting photographed and cupped his boobs!! You will meet him later at the speech stage lol!!


    So register signed it was now time to walk back up the aisle as it was outside we got the perfect confetti and got covered all the way down the aisle J



    and with that i bid you good night to be continued.......

    ……lots of kisses, congrats and bubbles J……someone get me a G&T!!!

    So for the next hour we mingled amongst our guests and got the pictures we wanted taken, I had cheek ache from smiling but couldn’t stop I was the happiest girl alive




    ……the fascinator continued….

    Soon to be a hitcher as they got engaged on 26/03 my friend is not afraid to make a fashion statement and I was shocked it wasn’t a hat lol!! But she did win in the fascinator size


    …..I would like you to welcome for the first time in public Mr & Mrs Wright!!...sorry the beckhams lol

    In true posh and becks style we got big chairs to sit on princess role complete


    It was time for dinner how quick did that go one tip girls getting soup to your mouth when your wearing a corset style dress is not the easiest thing in the world to do and as a napkin didn’t even cover my dress a spare table cloth it was lol!! ( please note I spill everything!!!)


    …….the speech

    The time came when it was time for the speaches now mark’s best man his brother is never short of words and even he looked green but, Oh started the ball rolling and got everyone giggling and making me cry it was perfect even if he did say we could on holiday for the price of my shoes lol!!



    …….then it was time for the best man


    Dear god this was the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life once he got through the first laugh of people and toasting himself he was on a role!! He started of by telling everyone the top 5 times oh had made a t**t out of himself so much so the mil hid behind her napkin, oh couldn’t breath and he told the hotel that the pile of sick outside this morning was oh as they thought they were cool having cigar’s the night before!!! Then he made me cry as well!!!




    …..jeremy!!

    We had one last surprise for us we both love giraffe’s we even have a large benie one that lives on the bed that when we go away he gets one of the kids t-shirts that says blah blah went to blah blah and all they got me was this t-shirt. Anyways we got a picture of 2 giraffes in love signed by the artist its gorgeous

    What a fantastic report - you both look gorgeous in the photos and so happy! Congratulations.

    Bizarrely I have just been looking at your shoes on the internet and wondering if they would go with my dress, which has silver Swarovski detailing. Do you mind me asking - do the shoes have much gold in them or are they more a silver colour!?

    The final instalment....

    ……….bring on the dancing bear!!!

    So after dinner a quick freshen up and then we had about 40 mins until night guests who were staying started to arrive why this was happening the boys being boys got upto this……… the sign reads please refrain from climbing on the item!!


    ……..alice in wonderland

    Being form warrington this is where lewis carroll is from means we have lots of sculptures to do with alice and wonderland including this oversized chair that lives at the hotel child in me means I had to get on and no show without punch so did mark lol!!



    ………………………………….chocolate monster

    So as i’m allergic to eggs my cake was the chocolate fountain, this is the only supplier I would not recommend so bloody rude to our tog telling him how to take pictures!!! So as all our nighttime guests were arriving the chocolate fountain was being set up so we sneaked into the room just before it was opened back up…….




    ………….blame it on the boogie

    Your song was all set for our first dance and we were asking everyone to join us part way through but before we did we got some amazing shots even after everyone joined us it felt like just me and oh and one else in the world I even had a little cry
    o


    ……rolling rolling on a river

    Then it was time to kick off the dancing shoes!!! Me and my girls boogied hard to TT and of course a bit of rolling on the river lol



    ………a sneaky surprise

    Whilst I was dancing away our tog had gone back out to where we had got married and set it all up for some night time shots he was due to leave us after the first dance so this was a lovely surprise and chance for us to have some us time….


    Before I knew it it lights up we had one last dance cant beat a bit of swing and everyone formed a big group around us and that was it the day was done we went back up to our room and as we were still buzzing we sat and opened all our cards and gifts with a good old cup of tetly lol.

    I hope you have enjoyed reading my report as much as I have writing it and I wish all the brides ready to sign off and you just starting out all the luck in the world, have amaxing days and make sure you take time just for you 2, and take a sleeping tablet a few nights before lol!!

    Thank you for reading Mrs Wright

    p.s dotn forget me on the hitched award nominations next year lol xx
