Awww, thank you everyone!
Denise, we're going to stay in a resort in Riviera Maya, here:

Hopefully it looks pretty good! We did read a couple of not very good reviews online, but all the others have been good. We're looking forward to chilling out with cocktails, lazing about in the pool, and going to explore a bit as well
Autumn, all the cake has gone! Oops! We kept back the top tier but gave half of it to Steve's brother to take back up North for his other brother, who couldn't make it down with his family because his wife gave birth to their 3rd child the day before :shock:. So we sent them some cake because we know they were gutted not to be able to come. Me and Steve ate the rest over the past few days lol- it was chocolate and wouldn't have lasted long anyway. The rest all went at the wedding- it was so lovely that people just ate it up! We had 2 chocolate and 2 lemon tiers, which were just out of this world to taste. Our cakemaker is amazing!
Actually, the only (slight) downer on the day was that one of Steve's oldest friends didn't show up. No phone call, no text, no nothing. He's not even heard from her since, despite her posting on Facebook. We do know that she had a minor routine operation this week, but the night before the wedding she was posting about going out with her boyfriend etc, and I think the op wasn't until Weds after the wedding. It would have been a fair enough excuse, but she didn't let us know- she'd even begged Steve to add a plus-one to her invite the month before because she'd bagged someone else's husband, adding extra expense for someone we'd never even met. Gosh, I sound horrible going on about her like this! But it's not the first time she's broken up marriages, or caused trouble for her friends- she actually caused chaos at another friend's wedding a couple of years back. We didn't actually notice at first that she wasn't there, with all the people trying to talk to us, but a mutual friend pointed out that she clearly doesn't understand the value of marriage and why it would even be an issue that she didn't turn up, or contact us to let us know. I hope I don't sound too mean there- I didn't expect everyone's lives to revolve around our day or anything like that at all- just felt bad for Steve that one of his oldest friends would do that to him
Denise- Dotty was most upset that she couldn't attend! This was her on the morning that I left for the cottage:
'I CAN'T believe I'm not your bridesmaid! Hmmmmph'
I'll post a few pictures of the cottage for those that didn't see them on Facebook in a bit
And Donna- my face was glowing partly because of the spray tan I had, and partly because it was so blinking hot! LOL!
Thanks again everyone!
