Married :)

Thankyou to you all for helping me with my moneysaving wedding! We did the deed last Saturday, and we've been away for a 'funnymoon' this week before our 'real' honeymoon early next year.

We had the most AMAZING day. Everything was brilliant, our guests had a great time, the food was fantastic and the dancing was mega ;) The reception came in £250 cheaper than we had expected (we had budgeted for more drinks etc than ended up being used), and in all the wedding came in at just over £3600 (which includes every last little £1 spent lol) for 50 day guests and a further 30 evening guests, which we're really pleased with.

Thought I would post a few piccies as I know we are all very nosey to see how others days go! We haven't had the 'pro' pics yet (taken by a member of the family who is studying photography) but these are just a few of family and friends pics.

My gorgeous bridesmaids:

My amazing dress which I hired and was so upset to return! Not that I would ever wear it again anyway, but still!

And our fantastic cake, made by a friend - which ALL went! I barely even got a chance to taste it!
