Wedding recap

The 3 days leading up to 'W'day really took it out of me so by the evening before I was in agony, cried my eyes out and made them red and puffy and had to take extra painkillers. Then I got in the bath to try and relax forgetting FI was not there and got stuck in the bath!!!!!!

This had a good and bad outcome, the good is I slept for 8.5 hours straight so was able to cope with the day. The bad, I was not thinking straight so when I put my veil on I forgot to position my hair so no curls were at the back and all my 'rear' view photos look weird. Also my Mum was frightened to lace my dress up too tight in case it hurt me too much so my dress could have looked better. I also had a very dry mouth from the morphine but could not drink past 12.30 (you all know why!!!). My amazing brother kept me plied with tic tac mints all through the photos to stop my lip sticking to my gum so that I could smile!!!

Even with all I have said above I LOVED our day it was all I wished and hoped and have had so many comments I blush to even tell you all!!

The morning getting ready was manic fun!! The hairdresser and make up ladies came to the house and the florist was finishing the button holes. All these amazing ladies are friends of mine so the banter was great!!

Half way through getting my hair curled I commented I hadn't had breakfast and my amazing sister made hot buttered toast for everyone.

When my little bridesmaids arrived, they had fun having their hair curled and getting dressed and are now friends.

This is my sister and MOH

And finally a nervous bride with her proud Dad

The ceremony was lovely, Peter our vicar was great, he included all the pageboys and bridesmaids during the service by bringing them next to us so they could see what was happening. I had a little 'moment' when we first arrived as my bouquet was heavy and I struggled , but I lent on DH for a bit to cope!!

Mr and Mrs!!!

With my Mum and Dad

This was one of the photos I requested, nearly all the children!! There were 19 children and 2 babies and you wouldn't have known it. They were quiet in the church and had such fun during the day, no crying or fighting just giggles and smiles.

Another shot I requested, please note FIL who gave us all that hastle in a blue shirt!!!! Oh well at least he came.

My favourite picture at the moment.

........... and the prize for the most stupid face goes to .............................. me!!! My nephew throwing confetti at me!!

Are you bored yet??????

We then went to have some shots together so I have none to share until my professional shots come back. It was drizzling there so we had some umbrella shots. i am a little worried how some will turn out as he had me with my arms up and both of us looking down, lets just say bingo wings and double chin alert, he he he!!!

The reception was all I wished a relaxed fun evening. When we arrived the thumb print tree was a success and nearly everyone was done. The decorations looked fabulous. I was slightly disappointed the centrepieces were not larger, but they were pretty and made by another friend of my Mum's.This is the best picture of them I have

We had a relaxed 3 cource meal finishing with cheese and biscuits and passing of the port!! All 3 of the speeches had everyone laughingone my DH got was saying I was his best buy on eBay and he gave me positive feedback!!!

Here is our cake table. My amazing Mum made the cake and when I get a better photo I will share.
