Hello! Thank you all for the good wishes and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to the forum! Things have been crazy and I've just been wiped out since the wedding- it's all caught up on me I think!

i'm a married woman!!!
[/align][align=left]It was the most perfect day we could have wished for. The sun was out, it was warm and bright, after such a horrible summer- the sun came out for us! I was a complete bag of nerves on the morning of the wedding. I kept having waves of nausea come over me, and then I'd forget about it for a little while. It was only as my hair was just being finished up and someone asked me what time it was and I said 'it's 12.30.....OMG! It's 12.30! An hour to go!' and then downed 2 glasses of chamagne lol :shock:
But I did make it there in one piece, and the ceremony was beautiful. I don't really remember most of it because I was so nervous- I purposely didn't look at anybody or I would have been sick lol! All I remember was that we got our lines out ok and they definitely pronounced us man and wife
The rest of the day was lovely- amazing food, all our family were so happy for us, all of our friends, everybody got on well, the weather stayed nice all day so after the meal, etc people could gather on the lawn. My friends found the children's playground and took it over practically for 2 hours lol- got some great pictures of them playing on the monkey bars and zip wire!
We ended up leaving at 12.30am and it seemed like it was all over way too soon. We got a taxi back to the cottage I'd stayed at the night before- the girls had gone back to Bristol with everyone else on the coach. The next day we spent the day reading the guestbook, opening all our cards and presents, watching X Factor (lol) and drinking champagne in the garden, with the most amazing views of hills and fields all around
We came back on Monday morning, when Steve's mum came round for lunch, and then we went and booked our honeymoon after dropping her at the station :shock: Yep, we're goint to Mexico for 10 days in February!!!!! It's a long time to wait, but it's the soonest we could afford to do it. It's definitely something to look forward to
The next day, we had a day out together at a bird conservation park near us which was really nice, and then Weds Steve took me out to lunch before starting work again in the afternoon
All in all, it's been a really nice week with my new husband
We're still waiting for the proper pictures back from the photographer but here are a few that my friends took on the day for you guys! (I knew I couldn't come back online without pictures LOL)
Pretending to sign the register (you're not allowed to have pictures taken of you sign it- you have to sign it and then fake-pose for pictures lol)

Blurry, but me and my mum and dad:
Me and my bouquet (it was beautiful!)
Me and all my girl friends- except for one of my bridesmaids who had an angry baby to tend to:
Most of my male friends:
Me and Steve cutting the cake! Again, we had to fake this because the actual cutting took about a second but people wanted to spend a good 2 minutes taking pictures, so we just made the same cut several times over!
There's more but I haven't saved them all yet! I promise to post more when I get them!
I have sooooo much to catch up on around here- I must get started on it!
