Had an absolutely fantastic day on Saturday!! Can't believe I'm a married lady now. Friday was pretty stressful getting everything sorted at the venue, and we had arranged a big family dinner which I was responsible for too. But it was worth it to get everything done before Saturday. I got so nervous at the registry office, then Paul and I went for pictures. Then we had our blessing which was wonderful, I'm glad we did it because we got to make things a bit more personal. Dinner was lovely, and then we had a gramophone DJ playing tracks from 1930s - 50s. If I could change one thing I would have put him on an hour earlier. Then we had more uptempo music, but it took people a while to get into dancing. The speeches were great.
We got loads of awesome and weird presents. People were so kind and just turned up with helpful things we hadn't even asked for, like loads of homemade bread for the cheese. One couple forgot and didn't turn up at all!! I was a bit annoyed about that, as it seemed a bit rude. But it didn't matter at all in the scheme of things. We haven't got any photos yet, hope they come through soon.
Good luck with all the last minute details, you're going to have wonderful weddings soon!:A :heartpuls June 2014 / £2014 in 2014 / £735.97 / 36.5%0 -

sounds like you had a wonderful day Lara.
We get married next monday and last week one of my sisters started with the if there coming to the wedding were not!
I am annoyed as since may when they said they were coming nobod different has been invited. We are on a tight budget and friends could have been invited instead of them.
Just need to pick the baloons up on sunday and take them to the restaurant and we sorted xMum, wife and dinnerlady!0 -
Lara - Congrats sounds like a lovely day! Dont forget to show us some pictures when you get them.
Lindy - sounds like you are all organised.
We saw hotel manager on Friday and went through everything and they are being so helpful and just nice to know we have everything sorted with the venue now. Mum and I spent Saturday putting together the order of service x80 which took most if the day but at least its done now. Then on Saturday mum and I went to my local church to hear the banns being read. Oh enjoyed his stag weekend and he is meeting me tonight to go shopping for his shoes for the big day.
Can't believe it's 8 years today since oh and I had our first date!0
