Wedding Report * with flashes*

Keltickurse, 6 April, 2011 at 21:49 Posted on Planning 0 17

Well finally got back from the honeymoon and though its only been two weeks it already feels like it all happened ages ago:I'm going to keep this brief! (flashes below)

So here goes:

Day before:

Spent the entire day running around, getting nails done, table plan printed and packing for the honeymoon, family all came in the afternoon (I live 60 miles away from the rest of the family) and we went out for a nice meal, then more packing! - Mr Keltic finally left the house at 11:55pm.

The big day:

Despite the original forecast of snow it was a beautiful warm sunny day: woohoo! probably not your normal bride behaviour but after getting up at 7am i ended up doing last minute cleaning, hoovering etc, not at all nervous - I even put washing out on the line! Everyone commented I was the calmest bride they have ever seen. I spent most of the morning organising everyone else, telling bridesmaid when to get ready and dressed my flower girl. finally wen't up to get ready myself and ended up reminding my mother she had to get changed herself!

Finally the cars arrived (2pm) and we went to the venue ( still not nervous) and ended up hanging around outside for about 15 mins because my flower girl decided she needed the loo at the last minute: eventually we got inside and the indiana jones theme started playing for me to walk down the aisle. (had it as surprise for my father so that he would forget about being nervous and smile!)

Ceremony was fine although Mr Keltic was complete opposite of me and very nervous (stiff as a board for the entire ceremony!)

Really enjoyed the day, and everything was perfect: the room was set up exactly as I would have wanted it and with the sun shining we got some lovely photos on the beach next to the venue.

The next day:

a bit of a mad dash, had breakfast at the venue with all our guests, brought everything home and had a mad dash about before getting the train to gatwick for the honeymoon, where completely unbeknownst to either of us beforehand, I'd managed to book exactly the same honeymoon in cuba as my lovely date twin trixylou so we had an unexpected unofficial mini hitched meet! probably to the dissapointment of our new husbands who thought they had finally got us away from the 'bridezilla website'

Now for the pictures:

Me with my sister getting ready: (big thanks to Purrfect Gems (Lynsey) for my tiara)

The venue:

one of my favours:

my table plan (made it myself! Smiley smile and big thanks to andrea at lilypond weddings for the postbox and guestbook!

and finally some shots of us on the day!

    Congratulations Mrs!

    You are possibly the most calm bride so far, hope I can be like that (minus the cleaning of course you nut)! The pictures look great, glad the sun was smiling downon you too.

    By the way, how did you guys figure out that you were both hitched ladies?

    We were sent to the same room as each other on arrival at the hotel to check in as we were all on honeymoon so found out there and then that we got married on the same day. We also ended up booking the same catamaran cruise on the same day so got chatting about wedding plans on board: both mentioned that we came on the hitched site and realised we reconised each others user names!

    Hello lovely twinnie

    Lovely to see your photo's, you look gorgeous and really love the flowers, so pretty.

    Hahaha was so funny when we realised about knowing one another from hitched, such a small world. Should have seen our hubbies reactions. I think mines was 'oh god and here was I thinking all that was behind us! ' haha, little did he know!

    Missing those yummy Pina Colada's aren't you?

    Will post some pics when we get them, only got the highlights video so far which we are so thrilled with.

    Regards to your lovely hubby

    Trixy: I'm missing the Strawberry Daquiri's more than the Pina Coladas! ?

    Red: I used a graphics program: Paint shop pro version 7 - took the photos myself then cut them to shape, made them all black and white and overlaid the names onto the document with a backlight so they stood out from the photo: then got a local printer to print it off onto photo paper and mount it onto a backing board.
