Fri 28th May 2010 (day before)
Well, we headed off to go across the counties to our venue after a hectic last week. My sister (MOH) & nephew (PB) in the end could not come from Oz due to the ectopic pregnancy & she had to have surgery on the Thursday. Anyway, all (or so I thought) was packed up & we were on our way. Next thing, I remember I haven't packed any bras (other than what I was wearing & we were staying a few days), so OH says no problem, we'll go back. 1 minute from the house we had a car accident (his car has now gone to heaven). I don't think I've ever been so shaken in my life. Anyway, after hours of waiting around, passing all our things to other people to transport, we made it - 2 mins late for the rehearsal. I just wanted to go to bed after that. Dinner & a bit of socialising later, I was in my room finally sorting myself out - nails, tan etc. I slept really well but woke early.
Sat 29th May 2010 (eeek!?)
Woke up ok, but after 15mins I was like ? & my tummy was in knots. So I put the Kalms tablets to good use & I was able to eat a little of my breakfast. They really helped & I would totally recommend them & rescue remedy (I practically floated down the aisle lol). So, hair dressers were late for me & mum but it all worked out fine & my make up was getting done by me slowly but surely. Photographer came & went between my room & downstairs with OH & then went on to the church after OH & BM. Had a pretty relaxing morning seeing my mum & dad regularly (they had the room next door) & helped mum with her eye makeup. Mum, dad & my flowergirl were in the car with me which was lovely.
Loved walking down the aisle with my dad & loved seeing OH at the end The day went so well. The weather was a little dodgy, drizzled a bit every now & again but wasn't too bad. Still had all our photos outside which kept me very happy
The good thing about the sun not splitting the skies was the lack of squinting in the pictures (every cloud has a silver lining & all that!) Everyone seemed to really enjoy the whole day & it's still being talked about constantly. It was fairly relaxed & everyone seemed to get on well, most said how impressed they were with the table planning ? & the food was amazing.
So, this was supposed to be the short version, so I'll stop there!
Time for pics if you haven't fallen asleep!
