Rehersal on Thurs night, everything went well, still no nerves, came home to a house full of visitors.
Friday we had to lift flowers, and leave them plus wine, cake, etc. to the hotel. Left my then hubby to be at about ten and headed to my mum's house for the night. Was in bed for about 12 mid-night, slept till 7 but didnt get up till 8am as the hair and make up team werent due to arrive until 8:45. Mum gave me up tea and toast in bed. It was lovely
at this stage i was getting butterflies in my tummy... so i jumped out of bed, got showered and dressed and was down stairs when my sister and friend arrived (both bridesmaids) and everything just fell into place, hair and make up arrived on time, flowers were delivered at 10:30, car arrived at 11am, photographer and video man were on time taking shots of everything... I had some breakfast and before i knew it i was getting into my dress at half 11 so that the photographer could get a few shoots of me in my dress before heading to the church at quarter to 12. And so then next thing i was in our wedding car with my dad on our way to our local chapel, the rain had started but it was only a spring shower as the sun was still shining. I loved the car journey out with my dad as it gave us some time on our own, then i was getting out of the car and into the chapel... I loved this part... i was standing at the back and everyone turning round and all the awe's at us
and so queue the music and our little page boy and flower girl went up the aisle, and then my bridesmaids and then me and my dad. it was magical!!!The actual wedding went by so quick, it seemed like one minute we were greeting the priest, next was readings, next our vows, next communion, sign register and out... it was so fast!!!
then we headed for Donegal town were we had some pictures taken at donegal castle before we headed to the hotel. We had to have the family pic at the hotel as the weather wasnt great.
The meal and the service was fantastic, the ballroom looked amazing!!!
