    Well, the day was amazing! I was so nervous on the all morning - getting my hair done at the hairdressers whilst feeling sick is not the best combination :) The only minor hiccup to the whole day was about 20 minutes before we were due to leave (I'd still not got my dress on at this point!) one of the bridesmaid dresses split - the zip had broken! So cue emergency sewing into the dress :eek: that was the most stressful part and I thought I was going to be sick... but it was all okay in the end :)

    I got a bit emotional during the service and then during the speeches, so there are some interesting pictures of me during that point :p but it was all lovely, the registrar was excellent and put me at ease straight away :) Walking down the isle and seeing everyone there made me a bit teary, and when I was standing next to OH during the ceremony, I was shaking like a leaf!

    The wedding breakfast food was amazing, but I didn't eat very much - wasn't hungry and my dress was quite tight! Didn't get any wedding cake :( but never mind, everyone else commented on how delicious everything was.

    The evening do was also great - lots more people arrived, some of whom I haven't seen in ages! So that was good to get round everynoe and have a mini catch up :) The day was so quickly, but everyone made it the best day ever.

    Honeymoon - OMG, I love Italy! I have eaten my own body weight in pasta, pizza, tiramisu and ice cream, and I don't even care! :D We visited Pompeii, Vesuvius, Capri and spent a lot of time just relaxing at the hotel :) the weather was a bit mixed, so some days it wasn't suitable to go outside, so we just spend the day reading in the hotel lobby, and playing Scrabble :p

    And, I got home last night to find a letter waiting for me inviting me to an interview :j :j Now, I just need to actually get the job.....
