Its taken me a few weeks to get around to doing this, but i think i can remember most of it! I will add some photos tonight.
So i was at work early on the thursday (baaad idea, but im running out of holidays so it had to be done) finnished abit early at 4 and went home. Mark went to my brothers for the night and my SIL came here. watched abit of telly, shared a bottle of Lambrini and went to bed at about midnight, we had a couple of games of connect4 in bed (seriously) and then i was asleep within about 15mins.
Woke up at my normal time of 7am the next day, got up had a bath, ate some cerial and woke SIL up at about 9am. my cousins were supposed to arrive at 10 but as expected they didnt turn up till 11 (so i had a little snooze on the couch!)
My cousin did my Hair and Make up which took about 2.5 hours. then my dad arrived at 2 with a beautiful "to our daughter" card which got me very very close to tears. :cry: at 2:15 my boss turned up in his car to be my driver for the day, had a few piccys taken in the car then set off at 2:30.
Arrived at the register office, in fact we pulled up just around the corner and my boss put the top down on his convertable so we drove round the corner in drizzle with the top down drinking Champaigne! We where supposed to stop at the opposite end of the town hall so that Mark and i didnt see each other but we pulled up about 15meters away from where mark was standing so i had to go and say hello, which was nice because it stopped us from being nervous.
Then everyone piled into the waiting room..and some people where in the corridor because there were soo many people there. After a few minutes everyone went into the room and i stood waiting with my dad. then the bell went and it was time to walk in. We could barly walk next to each other down the aisle as the room was packed. as i walked past my Witness she wispered "dont cry" which didnt help!
When it was time to stand up and say our parts i could see mark getting a bit teary, which very nearly set me off:cry: but we squeezed hands and got through the whole thing with no tears (one of my main worries) My mouth was really dry (damn champaign) for the first part, but i relaxed and even when i got a couple of words the wrong way round i just laughed it off :smile: . In the end i didnt mind lots of people being there, i just looked at mark and the the registrar and forgot there where 55 people watching us :lol: the only bad thing was that the room was boiling hot so i look alittle flushed on the photos.
Next we had lots of photos done outside, then mark and i got in the wedding car and as it had stopped raining we left the top down and drove to marks mum and dads like that....it was blummin cold but we finnished the champers and that helped keep us warm.
Stayed at PIL for a few hours then went onto the evening reception at 7:30, in brief we had a brilliant night, mark drank too much and was drunk before the first dance! (people kept offering him drinks and he didnt like to say no :loco: i on the otherhand only had 3 drinks all evening) Our first dance was jack Johnson "better together", the DJ was crap. I had given him a list of 15 songs i wanted (all indie type songs) but he just played them quietly as background music as people where arriving. Then he played Rick Astley ffs! i asked him to play different music but he just said "i know what i am doing" :angry: the band came on at about 10:30 and played some punky-cover versions which was brilliant but only about 8 people danced (killjoys!)
We went home at midnight, Mark was very drunk...but in a nice way. I had so many grips in my hair that i had to start taking them out in the taxi and it took another 15mins when we got home.
Saturday we turned our phones off, kept the curtains closed. Lay on the couch and watched cartoons alll day! then had a few organising days and went to Egypt Wednesday morning.
THE END....PHOTOS TO FOLLOW
