Well the wedding didn't turn out as planned! At all!
The day before without warning my knee dislocated, the bone was right out, and as I fell down I hit my head off the wall. No one was at home but me and my 2 year old daughter, the phone was down stairs so I dragged myself to a window, managed to open it and screamed for help, and put a help status on fb as OH's ipod was were I fell...
Someone heard me and knocked down my front door, I was rushed to a&e, given 3 hits of morphine and after about 4 hours they got my leg back in place. Luckily no fractures but im in a knee splint, have a wheelchair & crutches as this is now the 2nd time in 3 years this has happened. gotta go back for more scans next week to figure out how to prevent this happening again!
so we went ahead with the wedding, but I was crying in agony all morning! And had to get married in a wheelchair, I had asian tourists taking photos of me :/ but as soon as I saw Chris waiting for me everything melted away
so happy that we're now married but its been hell, we hd to cancel any honeymoon plans, he's had to look after me completely as I cant even get to the toilet :(
They think it'll be about another month or so before I can walk on the leg properly, and even then this could all happen again so I'm really down at the moment and in a bit of post traumatic shock due to how horrific it was dragging myself to scream out a window for help :(
my dress noone really saw as i was in a wheelchair, my hair didnt look how i'd planned as it was supposed to be done the day I had the accident. I didnt get to cut the wedding cake, people forgot to lay out the sweet buffet I'd done and it was just a real disaster
Just glad that we went ahead with gettin married though and even though I was in agonising pain, the ceremony was beautiful and I couldnt stop smiling as I married my best friend :)
In a few months when I'm better we're going to have a 'faux wedding party' so I can wear my dress, look how I wanted to on our day and actually have a first dance with my husband! x

Awww hunni I'm so sorry things didnt turn out quite how you wanted! But like you say you married your best friend and thats the main thing! Maybe In a few months when your knee is better you could have a blessing or something so you can wear the dress again and do everything you didnt get to do this time! Hope your knee gets better soon and huge hugs hunni!

CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
OMG! Oh Glitterpix I am so sorry to hear that, but the main thing is you are now married and a faux wedding party will be fantastic....
you HAVE to show your dress off......and you can have pictures taken that can just go in your wedding album too.
Yes you could have a blessing or commitment ceremony ...... theres no need to have the whole reception thing again as i am sure it would be a bit expensive.
what about a BBQ at home? or a pub lunch or something?
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorliannegoodwood
