    Last Saturday I married the man of my dreams and had the most perfect day!

    The sun shone for us and we were surrounded by our closest friends and family, it was fantastic and even though it seemed to be over in a flash it's a day I will never forget - here is a a photo from the big event :)

    Just thought, how short and sweet my initial post comes across! LOL, how rude of me! ;)

    Everything was pretty much perfect on the day, from my lovely bridesmaids keeping me calm and getting me ready on time - in fact we were ready so early that we set off as soon as the wedding car arrived and got to the castle about 20 minutes early....as we approached the entrance the wedding planner came running down the road towards to us..."you're too early, go round!" LOL

    The ceremony went by in a flash, I had tunnel vision thoughout the whole thing concentrating on getting my words right and stopping my hubby from placing my ring on the wrong finger! LOL, I also had a job getting his ring on as the heat had had made his hands swell :/

    The one thing from the ceremony that will stay with me forever is the collective gasp I as I entered the room alongside my uncle, and the look on Clive's face - he came THAT close to losing it, bless him!

    I came close to getting sun burnt during the photos afterwards as it was so flipping hot out! I hadnt thought to put on suncream but luckily my Aunt came to the rescue :) Hopefully no red bits will be on show in the official pictures!

    I could ramble on for ages....but in a nutshell, the wedding breakfast was a lovely - I walked straight past the cake without even seeing it - tunnel vision again! The meal was fabulous and a lot better than we expected, even the kids were eating their veg with gusto, the speeches were wonderful, my husband made a special mention to my dearly departed parents which bought me to tears (in a nice way) and as for the best man, well...put it this way, we now have a wedding portrait that will haunt me forever!!!!!

    The evening party / reception was a relaxed chilled out affair, I had ditched my dress by 6pm as I was so hot and uncomfortable in it, I was intially determined to keep it on but after seeing more and guests getting changed in to t-shirt and shorts, I thought - "sod it, I'm doing the same" after all, one of the guests said, it's your day do what you want!

    That evening I crashed after surviving on very little sleep for the previous week, but my god it was worth it. So many guests said it was best and most fun wedding they had been to, and many new and lasting friendships were formed throughout the weekend.

    I kind of wish we could do it all again!

    Can't wait until the day I become Mrs. Johnson :)

    Thanks all!

    It was all we could have wished for - and more! MY day started on the friday afternoon at our reception venue, when guests started to arrive steadily throughout the afternoon, and after a few beers, everyone settled down and relaxed (some had the most horrendous journeys)!and it was quite humbling to see those who had never met get on so well and see friendships being carved.We only had one setback; two of our guests decided to pull out at the last minute, and they decided to tell one of lizzie's BM's instead of liz or myself, so so the BM was put in an awkward position. On top of that, they didn't even give a reason, so they couldn't have thought that highly of us in the first place, so they have been unfriended by us both.

    The day itself, went surprisingly slower than I thought it would. I was wandering around generally doing things/sorting last minute details out when the wedding car turned up too early, and our wedding planner told them to go round the block! :-) Everyone took their seats, and I was wondering if she was going to turn up!

    The ceremony itself was the quickest of all. We could not remember it word-for-word at all, but the rest of the day was surprisingly steady, time-wise. We actually got married in a castle, which was built in 1594 by Sir Walter Raleigh, and were married in what was his front parlour, finished off with drinks on the lawn.

    there's not much more to add, except for the fact that I think I succeeded in giving Liz the wedding she wanted and deserved.
    If there are any grooms on here who are thinking of planning their own wedding, get in there, and enjoy it. You'll be amazed at how much fun it can be if you have the right suppliers.

    Secondly, if you do find, say, a venue, or a photographer that you know is the one, book it! Why waste time looking at others when you've set your heart on something?

    Thirdly, don't do it all yourself, let your bride have her say as well. We chose our venue together, the cake together, photographer, reception etc... the rest I took care of myself (chasing up, kicking backsides, etc).
