Hiya,

I have been lurking around here for a while. Me and OH got married in a private ceremony last week which only the 13 guest that were there, know about.

Tomorrow night we are having a hugh party with 120 guests, they think it is to celebrate that we have been together a long time but are not getting married.

At the start of the party we are going to tell them we did it last week in some kind of suprise reveal.

I have been so calm, even on the acutal wedding now but I work up this morning and the nerves have hit me!! :eek:

Could do with a glass of wine but it's a bit early, lol.

    Please someone tell me to calm down and that it will all be ok!

    I know it will, everyone will be happy for us even if they didn't get to come to the wedding. Just don't want it to upset anybody.

    congrats

    i suppose people may just not turn up for a sat night party, if they think its just a "anniversary bash" and say have had a busy weekend, so be prepared for that.

    I know what you mean, most of the guests are my OH family who we have been promising a party to for the last 5 years. the other friends are the type who are always up for a party no matter what the excuse so I don't think there will be too many no shows. Plus with so many guests i'm not sure I would notice a few not their.

    Now, having down well so far, I am now in disaster mode. I have had a bit of a sore throat the last few days and have now noticed I have an infection in my tonsillis. Hope I am not in too much pain with it tomorrow (as I am not normally a good patient) and that I don't lose my voice like last time i had it.

    I think it just the stress coming out.

    It went really really well!!

    Everyone came, my DH did a speech right at the start telling them we got married. Everyone cheered and then we had an amazing party!!

    It was perfect, exactly as I wanted it, I could not be more happy.
