Here is my report Smiley smile

Friday Night - Rehearsal!

Hubby had friday off work, which was lovely! We sorted out the flower gifts for people, and i had my nails done Smiley smile Then in the evening Hubbys family came over the the rehearsal Smiley smile which was lovely as it meant out families got to meet before the wedding! The rehearsal went well, and people nearly cried! Then we went back to the pub! We all had a few drinks, and I may have had a few too many Smiley sad but it was fine, i was with my parents and then stayed at their house with them!

The Saturday Morning!

I woke up at about half 7, and had about 3 cupsof tea, and some toast, then my sister BM and her other half Usher turned up to help with final bits and setting up the room, which they soon went off to do! So i had a bath and washed my hair then went round to my aunties to have my hair and make up done Smiley smile where i had another cup of tea Smiley smile We had love songs on the music channel on TV and had a chat while we sang along to the music, and she did my hair Smiley smile So i got to spend some lovely time alone with my aunt on my wedding day Smiley smile After about an hour, we got a phone call from my mum, could she and my sister BM have their hair done as well? So they came round then and we all had a girlie hour Smiley smile

Then at 10:50 we realised we had to be ready quickly as the wedding was at 12! So we headed back to mum and dads, where we went to my old room where all the dresses her waiting, so as my sister BM got hers on, mum helped me into mine, and we ended up like a comedy show, me doing my sister up, with mum doing me up, while all trying to get on with our own thing haha! At about 11:20 my other BM arrived to get into her dress! And we all squealed about how lovely we all looked and how amazing it was!

The Church bit!

At 11:55 the car arrived! So off went the BMs and my mum, so i was left with dad, ready to get married! After last mintue checks from dad that i was sure, the car came back. After mum had said it was a Jag which was fine, I went out and found my dream car! A Cream Rolls Royce! Cue another squeal! We had fun getting the dress in the car though and i ended up with my tain on my lap haha! When we arrived at thew church there was a crowd of people waiting, just to see me arrive! I felt like a princess! So as i posed for the photographer, i then had to pose for the crowd, so they could all get some nice pictures too Smiley smile Then we all lined up to go inti the church, and i could not stop smiling! We went off down the aisle and as i saw hubby i could have cried, had i not been so excited! He mouthed Wow at me, and i knew that was a moment i would remember for ever! After the service flying by, we went to sign the register, and have more pictures taken, which was lovely as family could take pictures too! Then all too soon it was time to leave the church and go outside for pictures! We had loads taken, though one we forgot was a big group picture of everyone, but we had plenty anyway! Then it was off to the Reception!

The Reception!

We arrived in the rolls, expecting to be positioned for the recievingline, (i know people hate them but i love them) Only to find the guests had gone in the wrong door and were all in already, but never mind, i think i introduced everyone to hubby! I had a suprise when we walked in, rather than a CD as background music, we had a jazz band playing untill the meal! They were fantastic! Could not fault them at all! As we chatted and mingled untill the lunch, we all had a great time Smiley smile Then we sat down for the food, I had a prawn cocktail starter, salmon main, and apple pie for desert, and it was delicious! Best meal i have had for a while. Without a doubt. By this point i had to keep taking a second to look around and make myself believe this was really happening! After the meal came the speeches, I almost cried at dads when he said how proud he was of me and how lovely i look, (in fact now it has all calmed down, it does bring tears to me now), and how he is so pleased for us, and hopes we are as happy as him and mum are. Then came hubby's speech, which was brilliant, very funny, but very sweet Smiley smile then Pete, best man made his speech, and read out some cards which made everyone laugh and smile, then i made my speech, which led on to the giving of gifts to BM's Best man, our mothers, and my nan who showed me how to make the cake Smiley smile All went without a hitch, and we moved onto more mingling which gave us a chance to speak to people properly, which was really nice, and we also went and sat down for some time together as well.

The evening do!

At about half 6 the DJ had arrived and got set up ready to start at 7, by the time everyone came back/arrived for the evening do, it was 8 before we did the first dance, but when the introduction for Shania Twains From This Moment On, we made our way to the floor! Then halfway through we got everyoneto come and join us which was lovely! Then people stayed on the dancefloor as we went to carry on greeting people as they arrived, then we spent the rest of the eveing mingling, trying to speak to everyone, and dancing with everyone, then spending time together. we had a hog roast which was gorgeous, and i managed to eat throughout the day, and enjoy every moment.

But before we knew it it was about half 1 and time to go, people had been drifting away, and the DJ started packing away, and the staff stated cleaning! So we packed everything away and phoned for taxis! Then when we arrived home, we were so excited and happy we didnt get to bed untill gone 4!

And that was my wedding day! Now how do i post pictures? Can someone tell my an idiots guide please?
