Right so here we go...
On Sat am... my and my sister got up at the ungodly hour of 5.15am!.... shower and rollers in...
Had breakfast at 7.30am ish with my Sister, Mum and international BM Jenni, who had flown in from the states the sunday before the big day.
At 8.30am ish my other BM began to arrive... so they leisurely set about painting nails and doing hair... meanwhile i was busy being attacked by about 3 hairdryers to make my hair work!
About 9.30am my final BM (Simons Sister) arrived (having slept for 11hours thanks to flying in from Iceland on friday with only 2 hours sleep the days before!... bless her..) as a tom boy she doesnt "do" nails, hair etc... but my amazing friend who was helping with my hair etc beautified her just enough to look like a BM but not so she didnt feel like herself!
Just before 10am the flowers arrived... and wow... they were stunning...just as i imagined...
10am the photographer arrived... quickly followed by a present from my H2B... a loverly pandora braclet... with 3 charms representing our life together so far....cue a fair few tears!
Just after that we took out my hair rollers and set to work on styling my hair... this is the point the panic began to rise in me... but my friends and relatives and even the photographer were brilliant at calming me down.
The next 1 and a half hours came and went like a blur... somehow i made it into my dress... my hair got finished and somehow in the background my dad arrived... BM were ready and the car was there to collect me...
descending the stairs my heartbeat was the loudest thing and my BM were making me cry left right and centre telling me how pretty i looked!
I settled down as me and dad got into the car... the journey there was nice and i calmed myself down so that i could enjoy the day.
Entering the church i only saw one thing...Si... smiling back at me from the front... i focused on him to keep my emotions in check... meeting a tearful mum or aunties eye would have been fatal!
The services was lovely and i held myself together right until we were introduced as MR and MRS to the congregation... then i cried!
During the prayers just before we signed the register... i began to feel unwell... and i very very nearly fainted... cue best man and vicar etc quietly trying to find me some sweets while we signed! bless them!
SO a bit of advice to all bride to be's out there....EAT just before you leave for the service/ceromony!
i could continue to ramble... but beyond the service... it was just magical... everything we had worked for so much, planed every detail... had so much help to achieve fell into place... and the day just went without a hitch...
now thats enough chat... here are the photos!
Outside... still feeling a little wobbly here... hence being deathly pale! (thats my dad just to my right... look how proud he looks!)
in the car...pre sugary drink and food to get me back on my feet!
How i arrived at the reception venue... it was just as i had dreamed!
our marquee... and lots of our guest
more will follow... once i have he professional ones!
xxxxx right back to my Husband... (i wonder if that will ever get old!)
xx
