Hi folks, i'm back! I actually wrote all this out on friday, but my laptop had a hissy fit and it's taken me until now to face doing it again!
We had a really fabulous time, and I've lots of recommendations for fellow Lindos weddingers!
Okay, lets start at the start (and take it away...)
We're ready (and in our flat shoes for the steep downhill slope to the chapel)

Myself and my sister arriving:

Hubby made a joke about rings versus thumb screws:
We're married!

Signing the register:

A few of the post ceremony - pre boat shots:

the only pic of me riding a donkey up to Mythos, where we had dinner! Unfortunate that i have my eyes shut though!

The Cake!

My sister and i putting on our corsages when we sat down to dinner!

More in a mo, i don't want this to crash again! xx

Right well, we had the ceremony = that was really lovely. Then we had photos etc and went down to the bay where we got on a boat and travelled south towards pefkos, and the boat man (sailor?) told us that was where they filmed the Guns of Naverone. Then we sailed back up to the small beach in Lindos and had pimms for the ladies and mythos beer for the men. That was a lovely chatty bit. Then we all either walked or rode a donkey up to Mythos and had a 4 course dinner. It was brilliant in there, really really fab.
I'm gutted that we're home now
But onwards and upwards, life for us is now about saving up to move to a bigger house so we can start thinking about babies!saving up another deposit as we've lost all our equity.
