Ah thanks guys. it was great and so pleased with the photos that the photographer took, was a bit worried as they were only £250, with full copyright too, i just said as long as i get one decent one i will be happy, but i am happy with all of them! Cant wait to see everyone else's, my son took loads and what i saw of them i think i have a photographer in the making

It really was such a fantastic day, no nerves on my behalf, my sis and best mate were running round like headless chickens it was so funny :rotfl: I was like can i just get married pleased. FIL surprised hubby with getting his mum there, as she only has a few weeks to live
, the hospital where great and she came with 2 nurses, so her being there really made it, he cried through most of the ceremony.
I cant believe it's all done now though! What am i going to do with my time, and i cant believe it was all done for well under £2000, with our mini honeymoon, bargain!!!! And i loved my flowers they look so real in the photos and i can keep them forever
