I accidentally pressed post too early!
I walked down the aisle to Thunder's 'Love Walked In', I timed my walking in perfectly so that I got the line 'you appeared like a vision'
My groom looked very happy yet very nervous! My dad handed me over and we said our vows and exchanged rings, with my groom shaking throughout bless him, and my maid of honour did a reading, the reading was one from the ceremony book we particularly liked, the ceremony seemed to over in the blink of an eye, it seemed I blinked and I was married! Then it was onto the lawns for reception drinks and canapes and many, many photos, luckily the weather was beautiful, and our guests didn't mind for a minute sitting in the beautiful garden with a drink and nibbles whilst we waited for the room to be transformed from ceremony room to dining room, then it was onto our meal, we had chicken and vegetables, so quite traditional but it was very nice, followed by profiteroles and sticky toffee pudding just for me
My dad's speech was very moving and I welled up with tears hearing him describe me and DH in his own words, as my dad isn't a very demonstrative man. Then the grooms speech, which to be honest I can barely remember! Then the best men speech, yes, we had two! They did a joint speech which was both lovely and very humorous, it went down very well.
Then it was onto the reception venue to cut the cake and have our first dance, which we had to Nickelback's Never Gonna Be Alone, followed by, as a special request from me to surprise my groom, Sweet Home Alabama as it's his favourite song of all time, he was ecstatic to be played this. Then we had the parents dance where Chris danced with his mother and I danced with my father to Celine Dion's because you loved me. Everyone is still saying what a perfect day it was, and it truly was the happiest day of my life (apart from when my son was born of course!)
Here are some photo's! Of my cake and everything else!
