Wedding Wednesday - I entered a Miss & left a Mrs!

After all the excitement of getting to the church I stood there in the doorway with dad next to me & my girls behind me ready to marry my man! I took a deep breath & the first notes of Here Comes The Bride sounded. I was really dreading crying in church but the only emotion I felt was excitement & the biggest amount of happiness it's possible for one person to feel!
We started to walk into church & all I could see was a sea of our friends & family all together in my church & I felt a little wobble! The church is only ever this full at Christmas, it felt amazing to have everyone there for us :) I knew if I kept looking around I'd loose it so I fixed my eyes on the back of Adam's head & then he & Nick turned around....
....they just beamed at me & Nick mouthed 'wow!' :D
Once I was next to Adam everything felt great. I was really nervous about dad passing my hand over to Adam cos that bit always gets me blubbing at every other wedding I've been to but I was fine (though typing this now I'm getting emotionally about it! huh?!). Instead of sniveling my way through the vows I was almost giggling & no one could wipe the beam from my face. I was so glad I could get married in the same church that's seen me grow up & been there through happy & sad times & it was so special when mum read the prayers while Adam & I knelt on my gran & grandad's kneelers. Ina  blink of an eye the service was over & we were MR & MRS! It's still not sunk in now!
We left the church to "All I Want Is You" by Barry Louis Polisar & everyone clapped as we walked down the aisle grinning like loons at everyone around us.
We emerged to the bells ringing out & hugs from everyone. This photo has to be one of my favourite from the day love ya ma! :)
All too soon it was time for the dreaded group shots but we'd planned it all strictly & had a list of the shots we needed with both Chris & the bridesmaids/ushers prepped to get everyone together as quickly as possible! As you can see from above it wasn't really a small doo(!) luckily Chris had his wide-angle lens just to get everyone in! We're so lucky to have so many people around us that care for us & could share the day with us.
Once we'd got all our shots out the way it was time for the confetti! Awesome!

Chris Barber & Jennifer got some really special shots, we're so chuffed with them & they're ones we'll treasure for ever.

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
