Mrs Magic's report on the long thread has inspired this - I no longer have my report but wanted to get the important bits down so I don't forget them. Feel free to add your bits - kind of the highlights of your report if you wish!
Stressing in the week up to the wedding - my dress didn't fit me on the Monday and the first time I tried it on and it fitted was the Wednesday before the wedding on the Saturday - I nearly cried with relief when it finally fitted me and it may be the first time in my life I was ever told off for losing weight.
Tying ribbons round napkins the day before - we only just had enough ribbon for the number of napkins so we were left trying to tie bows with stingy little lengths of ribbon - nightmare!
Taking my dad into town to get last minute stuff and the panic on his face when we had to go to the makeup counter!
Not stopping smiling all day despite stress for the entire previous week.
Lots of little girls in pink athletics leotards at breakfast in our hotel - they were in Brum for some sort of convention but it was very random at 8am and some of them were still in their dressing gowns.
Watching Sex and the City with my CBM with our hair all done up, waiting for my parents to collect us.
Taking little bridesmaids to the bar to get a drink and looking out of the window to see one of the ushers arriving. The moment when I realised that that meant himself was also there and I had to run across the large entrance hall and upstairs in jeans and a tshirt (with full makeup, tiara and done up hair) as the whole bit was visible from the front door. Having to send my mum to collect confused children!
Stripping to my underwear to get the dress on and telling my little bridesmaids not to look.
Taking one sip of Buck's Fizz and spilling it on my dress - good job the dress wasn't white!
Asking why the registrar was upstairs and being told he'd come to collect me - I was 20 minutes late but no one had told me.
CBM having a minor panic attack about walking up the aisle and someone having to get the best man to come and walk with her.
Best man studiously not looking at me as he thought it was wrong for him to see me before the groom - but mouthing 'you look beautiful' when we were standing at the top.
Being told our kiss wasn't exciting enough and having to do it again - by the registrar!
Going upstairs for a breather before the meal - looking at each other and giggling like mad because we were properly married and everything!
Seeing a friend who asked if I wanted a drink, and realising that yes I did, very much! After that my glass was never empty.
Sitting outside with my littlest BM (8) when I got too hot and talking and laughing with her - god knows what I told her, hope it wasn't too inappropriate!
Being told the limo had come to collect us and saying in best drunken slur 'First of all, it's only about 9, and secondly there's no limo - what are you talking about?'. Turns out it was actually 11:30 and MrSC had booked it as a surprise ?
Being 1 of 3 bride and groom sets checking in at the Hyatt. Sitting on the ground in my wedding dress while MrSC went back down as our key card didn't work
Our room decorated by friends with ballons, chocs and sparkley sprinkles. Still finding those sprinkles stuck to our clothes days later while on honeymoon.
Meeting friends for hotel breakfast the next day and not being able to have the lovely fry-up I'd planned becuase of my hangover. Friend ordering peppermint tea and realising that's exactly what I needed!
That's an awful lot really but those are the key bits!
