Now I have a little time on my hands i can finally post about the wedding!
All i can really say is we had an amazing day - everything was perfect.
On the Friday night before the wedding I had all my bridesmaids staying with me. My friend from America was chief bridesmaid then I also had my 3 cousins (1 of which is my Goddaughter). They were 16 year old twins and an 11 year old. We had a great girly night watching films and relaxing.
On Saturday morning we all went to the hairdressers for 8:30. The photographer came to get some pics of us having our hair and make up done and then she came back to the house with us to get some pics of us getting ready at home. This was very chaotic as we had the 5 of us, my mum, 2 photographers and 2 florists all in my house! By 1030 we were all dressed and had some champagne. The cars were waiting so we set off as it would take about 40 minutes to drive to the venue.
The ceremony was perfect. Up until me walking down the aisle, Tim had believed that my dress was red, I could see the shock in his face when he saw it wasnt! The twins both read passages for us which had everyone in tears. We both struggled to get each others rings on as it was so hot and we were so nervous. It was the hottest day of the year!! After the ceremony we had some pictures taken outside, during this part i got quite badly sunburnt on my shoulders due to standing outside in the hot sunshine!! On all the pictures taken after this point I have red shoulders, I hope the photographer does a bit of editting on them
The reception was also fantastic, I couldnt eat much as I was so excited and my dress had been done up so tightly that I couldnt eat anyway!! What i did eat was lovely though. Tim and his best man did the speeches and they were really good and of course I cried again. After the reception finished we had a few hours to kill before people started arriving for the evening reception so everyone sat outside enjoying the sunshine. It was really lovely and everyone had a great time.
At 730 people started to arrive for the evening reception and as it was still so warm and lovely outside people stayed in the gardens and chatted. The DJ just played music to an empty room for most of the night. We skipped our first dance as people were too busy enjoying themselves outside, we felt guilty bringing them all in to watch us dance! We got the DJ to play our song (Amazed - Lonestar) at the end of the night instead, which he did and we had a dance then. When we finally went to our room at 2am, I didnt want to take my dress of and sat in it for another hour whilst we opened cards and gifts.
Everyone stayed over at the hotel with us so we all had breakfast together in the morning which was really nice.
Overall the day was amazing and I would do it again tomorrow. I know everyone said that it would go quickly but i didnt expect it to go as fast as it did. I am so happy that I can finally be called a Mrs
I dont have many pics yet as we havent seen the photographer (apart from what i've already posted) , all the pics that I do have have been taken on guests digital cameras so i will post a few of them now and some more from the photographer when i can.
Edited to remove pics.
