The Day Before
Tuesday 8th ... I woke up and suddenly felt like the world was about to end . My house was no where near as tidy as I wanted it and I still seemed to have so much stuff to do. First thing my FIL was banging on our front door to come round and do the garden just incase we had wanted photos in it . He's garden mad and proud ... We had also planned to have a BBQ the day after the wedding so for some reason this became a priority for the morning . My Husband and FIL changing the old gas BBQ into a modified charcoal one ... My step son happily playing ( and making mess lol) all around the house and in the garden too.
I go to town and go purchase the last couple of gifts and pick up the flowers for the mums as well as jump on the sunbed one last time. I feel a mess . I purchase some double wear concealer in the hope I'll be able to cover the monstrosity that is on my head !
i get home and FIL is still around - I'm frantically wrapping all the presents and getting the stuff ready to go to the venue in the morning . It's about 3pm and I planned to spend a couple hours with oh and step son before they go to my mil for the night and my bridesmaids arrive for nails. Unfortunately husband tells me he needs to go pick up his suits from the shop as it hadn't quite fit :/ what??? Lol so off he goes - I have a bit of a cry and wonder if everything will pan out . I won't see him till the same time tomorrow and he's the one that keeps me calm! ( I suffer from anxiety and he just has that knack lol)
soon I'm surrounded by bridesmaid and my friend who is doing all our nails . She had started to wax my bikini line and after one strip I chickened out ! I ordered dominoes pizza and chatted with the girls . I can't even remember what we talked about because I was so self absorbed in my own thoughts . I do however remember getting a text from my husband asking me where his tie pin was - I remembered it being in the same packet as my earrings - I couldn't find it , we searched for hours and I phoned my mum in a In a blind panic - she said I could borrow some earrings but only had tiny pearl studs. She then said if look like a chandelier if I wore the ones is planned to and it was quite lucky - great thanks mum- but then I found them and the tie pin ( my friend who was doing my nails had to drop it off at 11.30 at night) - when my mum picked up my sisters I was so happy id found them and she told me not to wear them ... I broke down in tears. She said id get them caught on my veil and it would look too much and my step dad had to calm me down. ( when I look back on it it was stupid but my maid of honour said it was because I had nothing else to worry about and I was using this as a way to panic ) anyway as I was showing my dad the earrings they did get caught on my veil and as my mum had forgot to bring her garter and it was at her house 300 miles away ( my something borrowed) I decided to wear the earrings my sister had as my something borrowed .
I went to bed ( with maid of honour ) - not really feeling anything - it didn't seem real!
The Wedding Day!
( I'll try and keep it short but sweet and then flash a lot lol)
I woke up at about 5 am ( bear in mind the wedding wasn't till half 4 )
The morning dragged and I felt so emotional . I had a couple of cries and waited for my friend and hair lady to arrive . She came about 12 and I started my makeup as she did the bridesmaids hair. I had half a bowl of cereal for breakfast and my hair was being done at 2 and by 3 I was getting into my dress - so completely missed lunch . I couldn't even open the champagne I was so nervous ...
just before I started my makeup I had. Massive bunch of flowers delivered - the card read ' I love you baby are you down the aisle' ... That set me off again !
My mum helped me into my dress and I cried again ... It was so emotional . Here I was ready to go and it didn't feel real . Such a big build up for one day and now it was here I didn't even feel like it was happening .
I had a few photos - my niece to be cried , and both my dads when they saw me in my dress . Then suddenly it was time to go ! I was shaking - I got in the car and we were just about to leave when I noticed the windows where open - back in my dad went !
Then off on the road - I couldn't speak ! I remember my dad joking saying why was I nervous when he was he one driving a vintage car ! 
I had pins and needles in my hands searing through my fingers -- my blood must of been rushing through my body so quick ! Now I'm used to panic but this was a different level . I cried when I got out the car . A few family members had come to see me arrive and snapping photos ...
I had a quick meeting with the registrar who was lovely ( something id worried about) and then it was time . The harp started . My dads discussed how to hold my arms and then soon we where walking --- I was shaking and could hardly walk - I let out a sob as I saw my man stood there looking down at me - he was smiling with tears in his ears and I had tears rolling down my cheeks . I couldn't stop smiling in between breathing like a crazy person - it was so beautiful ! I got to the double doors and my dads let me do the last part of the walk together .
We cried - as did most our guests- as we said our vows and our promises... The ceremony was just perfect . My brother did a beautiful reading and my now neice did a reading which she cried her way through . Our 3 year old flower girl went and gave her a tissue at one point ... My sister sang so beautifully as we signed the register and soon we were married ! I remember thinking - what a blur! We walked out and my husband ( eeek) handed me a glass of champagne and told me how beautiful I was.
then photos - we had some shots together , with the car etc and then onto groups... that was crazy ! No one was listening people all over the shop and at the time it got me quite like aaaaahhhh! Howvever my photographer is a family friend and did the most fantastic job. She captured our day exactly how we wanted - I felt so honoured that she had agreed to do this for us as it is a hobby of hers rather than a job and the pressure must of been immense ! She did the most amazing job and friends and family who have seen the photos keep telling me how beautiful they are ! I remember my husband taking me aside after the photos and sitting me down as everyone sat down for the meal and I told him it was all going wrong or going to go wrong - he told me to chill and relax and we are married and it's amazing . My brother was supposed to be in photos but my mum had forgot something and sent him toget it ... He was also supposed to announce us to the room and he arrived just in time . Walking in with all those people clapping was amazing ! Absolutely unreal!
i sat down and despite the fact the food was amazing I hardly are - I hardly drank and I started to freak out ! Stupid anxiety! I was worrying that I was worrying ! I just couldn't believe it was happening - everyone had told me to make the most of it and I was worried I wasn't ? If that makes Any sense ! The I asked my maid of honour for my makeup bag ... Shed thought my mum had it ... My mum thought she had it / it had earrings for the evening do and after the meal . My flat shoes and makeup. One of my girlfriends got her bf to pick it up on the way to the evening reception and I suddenly relaxed after that. We cut the cake , are candyfloss, danced ( after our first dance ) , took stupid photos in the photo booth which was a massive hit ! Played with sparklers , spoke to all our guests , toasted narshmallows and generally where just like wow !!! It was crazy!
i remember at 10:30 pm thinking how tired I was and how I could drop . My mum couldn't find the tie for my bustle on my dress and it kept coming down back into a full train - once I changed into flats too I had to lift the front to walk but I still felt amazing !
Hubby just kept telling me I was and looked amazing and people kept telling me how amazing it was !
at 12:15 we got whisked away to our hotel and considering it was a wed night we left a few people still dancing ( it finished at half 12) - myself and my oh hadn't even really drank we were completely sober !
we spent the taxi back discussing how that was it - how crazy it had been and of course amazing !
the day after we hd a BBQ and on the Friday we had a onesie day - sat we got ready for honeymoon and Sunday we flew to cancun and went to secrets maroma beach riviera ... It was incredible !!!
now I'm back and married and on cloud 9. I was worried id have wedding blues but I'm so happy right now xxx pics to follow in comments xx
