It's Official

I'm Married OMG!!!!!

Well it has been on the cards for 5 years so I'm not really that surprised and I did organise it, but it is now real on Thursday 15th April 2010 I got married.

So let me tell you all about it... firstly on the Wednesday my cousin and I had 120 cupcakes to make which was a task, but turned out really well, I did all the measuring and she did all the mixing and we jointly spooned them into the cases, it was a well implemented operation, but don't fear we aren't going into business. I left her late afternoon to frost them as I needed to be at my mums for my nails and eyebrows doing by my chief bridesmaid. After inflicting pain my eyebrows were perfectly shaped and my nails were french manicured. Apart from having a little accident before two of the nails were dry everything was going to plan. I spent the night at my mums whilst Hubby to be was having a Poker and Games night with the lads.

After a restless night, I'm not used to sleeping in a single bed, it was Wedding Day. I had a small breakfast and only 2 cups of coffee, didn't want to drink too much as I wasn't sure how I was going to manage toilet breaks in my dress. My mum went off to the hairdressers and I had a relaxing morning watching Friends on TV. Kelly my Chief Bridesmaid came over to do my hair and makeup then helped me into my dress, flowers had arrived and everyone was ready, we had time to have a few photos taken, then the car arrived to take us into Sheffield.

We arrived outside the registry office in Sheffield with about 30 minutes to spare so we had quite a few photos done outside, including one of me with Spiderman and Batman who were collecting for charity. I had to make sure that I didn't have any photos taken with my hubby to be as it is bad luck.

So at 2pm we were ushered into the Town Hall and me and the hubby were called into see the Registrar were she told us what were going to happen. The ceremony was really nice as I was saying my vows I was trying not to look at K not because I was tearful but I knew if I looked at him too much we would both break into fits of giggles, so we only looked at each other for a little while.

After the ceremony we went out into the Peace Gardens to have more photos taken by the fountains and was blessed that the sun had appeared.

More to follow.......

Hen do

It's been a few weeks now since my hen do, I've been really busy I've not had the time to update my blog. The night started off with getting ready then a tram journey to the local shopping centre where I was meeting family and friends in Frankie and Bennys for a meal. My chief bridesmaid had already been to the restaurant earlier that day to make sure they had all the stuff, there were goodie bags for my guests and I had an extra special bag complete with veil tiara, pink fluffy L plate, pink feather boa, shot glasses and a Disney princesses balloon, which by the way is still inflated now.

After the meal I said bye to some of my family whilst the rest of us went into Sheffield city centre to meet up with other friends to start the drinking. We went to lots of bars and pubs and ended up in the Ledmill. I had a great night out and my chief bridesmaid did me proud, and no sweaty stripper in sight thank god!!

So the wedding is only just over a week away, I can't believe it's come round so quick, but thankfully we are just about sorted. The table plan is done, favour boxes are made just have to put the chocolates in them and tie them up, we have been today to get K's nephew his suit, he looks so cute and a proper little bobby dazler. I went to pick up my dress from Trisha the alterations lady, she has done a brill job with my dress and it fits really well, it is now stored at my mums.

My cousin is making my cupcakes as marks and spencer don't make the vanilla and strawberry ones anymore, which I find odd as you would think that they would be one of the most popular flavours. I'm going to be helping her the day before making sure I've got time to have my nails and eyebrows done.

The flowers, balloons and car have been sorted, so everything is nearly ready, what am I going to organise once the day has been and gone??

I'll keep you posted over what happens in the next few days.
