Friday (the day before)
I went into town with my mum and nan to get last bits then went to dinner with them, I felt pretty normaal all day apart from the odd butterflys when I realised IM GETTING MARRIED TOMMOROW!! once home i packed all my stuff up said goodbye to my other half and made my way to my mums where some family from down south were they all made a fuss of me (cue the butterflys) we drank wine and caught up and reminised about other family members weddings.
a while later my maid of honour came from down south (cue the tears) we drank some more and chatted about everything we could think of.
after everyone left I put together my other half box of treats including a good luck card signed by sir alex furgison, a boudior photo book, some cigars, some jack daniels, afew other bits and bobs and then once they wee all in the box I wrote a little letter to him and then the tears started and wouldnt stop!! after i composed myself I send my brother round to my house (where my other half was staying) with the box.
Not long after my hair dresser/ make up artist came with the vintage salon (an amazing converted caravan) and parked it up ready for the morning I was sooo excited at this point I had no idea how I was going to sleep then once she had left my mum got a bottle of champagne out and me, my mum and my two brothers and sister sat around the table drinking champagne until I was ready for bed (slightly tipsy) hehe
Saturday. THE WEDDING DAY!!
Id always imagined id wake up on my wedding day thinking 'todays the day' but no my first thought as i woke up was 'I wish id not drunk so much bloody champagne last night!' I went downstairs around 6.30 where i found my mum and nan waiting for me looking extreemly excited I had a brew and before I knew it the hair and make u lady was there and ready to get started on my sister (bridesmaid)
over the next few hours i was really calm as more and more people were ariveing i kept escapeing into the salon where i could relax (i think i spent most the morning there) then it was my turn and i started to feel slightly nervous!
heres my halfway through hair and make up;
I was almost done when she stopped just befor she did my masscara i was wondering why when my mum came to the door of the salon and asked if id like to come outside and see my transport (it had been kept as a surprise) this is what i saw coming down the road
now i know why she didnt do my masscara i cryed infront of everyone!!
she finished off and i went upstairs to get ready by the time i got downstairs most the street were out and i felt like such a princess haha!!
on the way to the church my dad kepy asking me if i was okay and holing onto my hand very tight (he looked more scared than me) it made me feel emotional but i had a word with myself and pulled myself togeher then the carrage pulled up outside the church and my son and daughter ran towards me I nearly started again!! here there are waiting to go into the church;
here are the boys waiting to go into the church (my other half, my little boy, my brother and my father in law)
