In all honesty, the time leading up to our wedding went so bloody fast. I had been told by so many people that your wedding day is over in the blink of an eye-and this is true on so many levels. The day started with the maids and I, up at 6am, in time for hair and make up to start at 7am. We were there until 10.30am, and I was so nervous I couldn't even eat. Once we got home, we pretty much had to hang around the house until my parents arrived at 11.30am. Once they arrived we dug into some finger food and the champagne my gorgeous cousins had prepared for us. Before I knew it we were dressed and the photographer was snapping away! It was such a blast! Our limo arrived and we all piled in for the scenic drive through the valley and the city, sipping champagne, listening to Dane Cook - which was quite educational for Mum!!! The hour and a half we were in the limo went soooooo quickly, and before we knew it, we had stopped in a side street to apply the last minute touch ups to our make up, before pulling into the wedding venue. In Untraditional fashion, I was 20 minutes early! The only early Bride our driver had the privilege of escorting, to be early to their wedding!
Now, at this point I was pretty calm. I didn't take myself for the tearful bride, but while we were waiting in the limo for the photographer, my best friend walked past the car, who I hadn't seen in 2 years and I bloody burst into tears! From then on ladies and gentleman it was all down hill! The moment I heard the song I was walking down the aisle too start, I bawled my eyes out, my dad kept asking me several times if I was alright! My maids at the last minute changed their mind, and walked down the aisle at the same time, which I thought was nice. It was then my turn to walk down. It was the most crazy/exhilarating, experience walking down the aisle, particularly the moment when the guests catch the first glimpse of the bride, and all of a sudden you have all the eyes on you! I practically ran down the aisle, dragging my Dad with me! I was just so nervous and was dying to get to the end!
My husband to be had a massive smile on his face and all I wanted to do was give him a hug, but I had to wait! In the blink of an eye, we were saying our vows and the celebrant was saying , you may now kiss your bride! I was so excited to catch up with everyone after the ceremony, but we of course were dragged off for photos so quickly! Our photographer chose a private residence in Rochedale for our photos, by chance on the way to the wedding, he stopped in and asked the owners if they could take photos there, and they said yes! It was definitely not what I had in mind, but the photos are breath taking!
