Default It's the wedding thread!
Ok I'm going to be all big headed and post a brand new thread all about little old me!

Well I got to page 10 on the Chat thread and I'm totally lost!!!!

Friday before we got Mum and Dad checked into their hotel - they'd messed up the rooms so they didn't get what they wanted, but they did get upgraded to a suite, and since they thought me and DH were staying there then we got champers and a card from the staff! I wanted to get to the gym in their hotel on Friday night, but it was SO mad! Mum was all stressed about the rooms and then my aunty, uncle and grandma turned up and so everyone was flapping! I left and met DH who was with his mum and dad, we ended up having dinner with them - even after we'd said we would escape the family But then we went to see Little Children just to chill out for a while, it was a lovely film, and we both had a lovely time!

Saturday morning I headed off to Mum and Dad's hotel and Mum and I sweated to the oldies in the gym! I finally got some gym time in! Then it took about 3 hours to shower and get dressed - many bridesmaids arriving and other family and things!

Then we got married!






An impromptu first dance


His birthday cake!


The evening was lovely, the food was great, there was plenty of wine! We were exhausted and we crashed out in our lovely posh Threadneedles hotel - with the plasma TV in the bathroom! Not that we were watching TV...


Then DH and I went shopping in Spitalfields on the Sunday, we let Mum and Dad take all the pressies back to our place on their way home, then when we got home we started ripping open the pressies! It was so lovely! I was all overcome and happy all these people love us! We've mainly got vouchers and cash, but I did get a George Foreman (which I asked for!) a big vase, a chocolate fountain... , about 3 or 4 photo-frames, a Green & Black's cookbook , some crystal wine glasses and other lovely stuff!

Then we crashed out for an early night in bed on Sunday for our 4.30am start! We got the 6.15am train out of King's Cross. I got hassled by some stupid guy on the concourse and referred him to my HUSBAND! The guy tried to trip me up (to get my attention since I ignored his kissing noises...) fortunately DH showed him his warrant card and there were 2 other Transport Policemen (the only other guys on the station!!!!!) standing nearby who'd seen him trip me up! Apparently the guy was a bit of a psycho - I just walked off since I was on my way to buy breakfast! Nothing stands between me and breakfast!

Then we got to our little signal box cottage, which is FANTASTIC!



It was all modern and new and lovely and YAY! We walked in the Cainrgorms, went out to Inverness on the coach when I got a call from the BARBICAN (WE WERE ON HONEYMOON AND THEY KNEW IT!!!!!!!!) asking us to pick up some stuff that they said they'd look after for us till we got back! So that had me p'd off for the rest of the day! We also went to see the Falkirk Wheel and then out to Glasgow, which was nicer than I thought! We spent one day in the signal box completely because the rain was lashing and it was all miserable, then one day we spent the day inside but managed to walk to the village for groceries, and then back out for dinner in the evening. Oh and the lovely lady who owns the signal box baked us a CHOCOLATE CAKE! She must've been psychic! :magic:

We got home on Monday - I got stuck in to the ironing and the washing, that is until the washing machine BROKE So we're back to the hum-drum life!

PS Sorry the photos are HUGE, but I'd rather get them up so you can all have a lookie! I'll change the sizes soon...

Welcome back Mrs Dom - we've missed you!!!!



It sounds like everything went smoothly - except for the Barbican being a bit dim about honeymoons - and how nice to have a chocolate cake baked for you.

I am SO looking forward to seeing the pictures.

If you wonder why she's not posting... Helen's on holiday with her parents.

Welcome back and congrats Mrs Frus and Mr Frus !

Can't believe the Barbican staff called you on your honeymoon but you did say they were more than a bit anal!

Pics are lovely thanks for posting them .

Fru: You look like a supermodel!! And you look so composed during the ceremony. I was such an emotional wreck I nearly had to blow my nose on the pastor's robes. I would have, but I had my husband's hand in on hand and a bunch of lilacs in the other.

Thanks for posting the pictures!! You look just like your mom from the cheekbones down and I think your dad from the cheekbones up. What a great family!

Congratulations!!!!!and all my best wishes!!!!
The dress loved absolutely gorgeous.
Everyone looked like that were really enjoying themselves, not all stiff and formal.
The roses looked very sophisticated.
And I bet the signal box was the icing on the cakes.
