Im now a married lady

12/3/09

It was truely a magical and amazing day!
The morning was stress free
woke up at 8am by my 2 year old gave her breakfast did some washing up but a load in the wshing machine hoovered up and even put some clothes out the dryer away.
Made my MOH a brew and woke her up.
then got in the bath.

Mum and step dad turned up about 9ish step dad took my 2yr old back with him and me and mum drove over to the venue to drop my dress off and set cake up as my mum had left strict instructions not to touch as it was her baby lol.

came home and picked MOH up and met my sister at the hairdressers.
Hair and make-up went well was hoping to be done by 2.30 but by then moh had only just gone in for make-up. so left her there went home picked up my daughter and one of my sisters and drove back to hairdressers for MOH. who was now finally done.

Got to hotel dead on 3
Hubby nearly saw me!!!!!!
Mad panic started as everyone got ready. Moh got changed in walk in wardrobe one of my sisters stood in the bath lmao
photographer came up and took pics of dress then i got it on had more pis taken.
Had a phone call asking for car keys as they didnt like my parking. Later found out that i had left handbrake off and it had rolled into the entrance of carpark and noone could get in oops

Then someone brought my lil man (hes 5) up to my room and he looked amazing in his little suit and button hole. (he was giving me away)
Then I was finally called downstairs their words was "Liza we are ready for you" thats when it hit me! I was getting Married!!!!!! and started to turn into a nervous wreck could not stop shaking and smiling through nerves.

registrar asked the questions they ask and then it was time to go in.

My plan was to let the bridesmaids go in first one by one so that the music kicked n just as i walk in (cannon n d) But photographer said he wouldnt be able to get pic of me properly as the bridesmaids would be in the way so last minute swap around meant i went in first.

still shaking Music handnt even kicked in properley and i was up the aisle and stood with hubby lol.
i was grining like a cheshire cat the whole time through both nerves and happiness.

Dan got my name wrong in vows lol he said liza Miranda instead of liza marie amanda
we had a child scream at the inpending if anyone knows hwy we cant gett married bit lmao
then i forgot my vows and i was only repeating what she said! lmao
then Dan stood on my dress !!!! but all was fine lots more pics taken had to be told to try and stop looking demented lol

Evening do was amazing. i was summonds to my room for shots lol but all was a cunning plan as my mum had ordered me a band as a surprise!!!!! They were fab! They are called boomin and are really good.

First dance was to Tom Baxters Better and we did an unoffocial last dance to queen dont sop me now..
Alot of my so called friends didnt show which upset me but the important people were there.
no proffesional photos as yet just the ones my mum took
but i know i keep saying it but it was Amazing there is nothing i would do differently.

    Thanks for sharing - it looked great! Your cake especially looked amazing, I dont blame your mum for being protective! Glad you had such a great day. PMSL at the handbrake thing - am sure I will do something equally silly under the pressure!
