May 2012 Brides (and Grooms) + Diary of a 2012 Bride

Olokia, have a fab day!!

Well, having spent most of Saturday finalising our seating plan and giving final numbers to the venue, I go onto Facebook this morning and OH has left himself logged in, notice a message from his cousin sent 10 DAYS AGO that her and her partner can't come to the wedding. Don't think OH has read it, he's a bit useless on Facebook lol, he clicks on the notification bit then doesn't usually bother reading messages!

Not annoyed at his cousin, she's due a baby in 8 weeks and been advised to not travel by her doc, but I really wish OH had checked his messages properly!! I now have to try and find two guests to 'upgrade' from evening guests, I know it really should be two people from OHs side, but I want two of my friends lol - and will have to now re-arrange the seating plan again!!

(and before anyone has a go about me looking at his messages etc, this is how we are, we both know each others Facebook, bank and email passwords, and him missing this message is exactly why I sometimes have a look!)

Well what a fab day. Can't believe it was over so quickly :rotfl:

Everything went perfectly, I was rather nervous in the morning (according to the registrar!)!!

We had 3 venues which made it such a hassle to organise but on the day it all went to plan

The rain held off, shame it was cloudy but we still managed lots of (cold) photos outside.

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and we had a lovely day.

Stayed down at the last venue in Brighton on Saturday night and then went for brunch with my family on the Sunday after entertaining ourselves on the pier. Arrived home last night at about 8pm to open our presents, can't believe how generous everyone has been as we didn't ask for specific gifts.

Very strange feeling, I'm not one to wear jewellery so I keep wondering what's on my finger :rotfl:.

Packing today and tomorrow ready for our honeymoon, we fly out on Wednesday :j

Glad you had a fab day!! enjoy your honeymoon and post some pics when you get back!!

We'll get all the photos once we're back from our honeymoon (my friends were the photographers for the day) but here is one random photo that they sent us in the afternoon, no editing yet:



For our budget I think we did really well. Lots of effort for one day but we pulled it off and everyone enjoyed themselves :T. Unfortunately a couple of extras like transport which we weren't originally going to arrange (see earlier posts about problem relatives) but overall it went perfectly

I'm exhausted :rotfl:

I hope we enjoy our honeymoon

i cant believe we are counting down the days now, where did the time go????? feeling eeerily calm for someone getting married in 19 days!!!!!!
but we just have those little things left to be done that can only be done in last few days.

We are finishing work on the 18th so think will be more real then, we have the week before the wedding off and I think thats when its all going to kick in! hen and stags are on the 19th exciting :-)

Retepetsir, you both look fantastic, what a wonderful photograph xxx

I can't believe it's all over! The day came & went so quickly. We had an amazing time, the rain held off & everything went pretty much according to plan.

Our photographer has already uploaded some photos on Facebook if anyone would like a peek! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.429883713690908.105912.111175525561730&type=1
