Weekend Weddings (and other things!)

Nerrrr :P


Hi guys!! Hows it been!! I hope you are all doing well!! I haven't been up to much, finished college and just been bumming around between Hull and Portsmouth!! At the moment I am in Hull, for about a month before college restarts!! I get my results this week I hope to GOD I haven't failed too badly!! I am so scared!!

But anyways, enough of my boring life and onto something we all love (even if we don't believe in them!):
WEDDINGS

At the weekend, me and the boyfie went to his Aunties wedding! Even though the weather was predicted rain, the sun shone for us and it was lovely and warm!! I went out shopping the day before to see if I could pick up a last minute outfit (I had one planned but any excuse to buy new things!) and Primani became my new heaven (while in Hull, Yumi is still my favourite down south shop, more on that later ;) ) They have such lovely girly things there at the moment!! Some of it is quite seethrough, to the disgust of the boyfie who said it looks like nighties and looks too slutty to wear in day time (god I love him, bless!). I managed to scoop myself a new dress in pale blue with a lacy flower pattern all over, some pretty bows and a lovely pair of nude pink shoes, which cost alltogether less than £30!!

Dress - £15, Tights - £2.50, Shoes - £10, Bows in hair - £1.50, Umbrella - £4 all from Primani! Handbag & belt was my own :D
 All the outfits at the wedding were lovely and a lot of the women had gorgeous shoes!! (Man I LOVE shoes right now, I am already thinking about winter shoe boots!!)
We started off the day in a hurried panic. Well, I didn't, I got up at half 8, had my breakfast, scowled at my boyfriend for getting in the shower before me and taking so long and then getting ready by about 10:15 with fifteen minutes to spare before the taxi arrived!! I organise the night before, set all the stuff out neatly so its ready for the next day! His mam and sister, how ever, had to go to the hair dressers on the day to get their hair done and by the time they got home, his mam realised that she had holes in her tights and didn't have time to buy some new ones! Luckily she had a pair of leggings to go with the dress she wore, so all was well by the time we got  in the taxi's!
After a hurried dash through town to the registry office, realising we weren't late, we relaxed and chatted before everyone was herded into a very small waiting room where we tried not to step on each others toes!!

Here comes the bride!
 The bride looked stunning in a lovely floor length black dress, all floaty and pretty!! More pictures you will see later! The ceremony was sweet, but I couldn't help myself when I let out a tiny quiet giggle at the registra. He has this weird soft quiet voice that made me want to giggle so much!! But the bride and groom looked very happy!

The groom had tears in his eyes and you could tell by his voice how over whelmed with emotion he was!
 After the standing up ceremony, we had the signing of the book (we were in a Registry Office incase I didn't mention that earlier!) and many a photo were taken!!

The happy couple :D
After much photo taking, we spilled out into the street and just up the road to a small park where many a more picture were taken!! I do love a good photo sesh and taking them in the middle of a green park with the warm sun shining down on you is just perfect!!

The bride and her lovely daughters!
I loved what both girls were wearing but I feel the one in the white dress was too skinny and it showed in that dress, you need boobs for it. But her shoes were so lovely and from New Look!! The blue dress, I want, I believe I was told it was from Oli.com! It was £30 and here is the link for it: Pretty Maxi Dress!
Floaty prettyness :D
There was of course the tradition family shots!!

My boyfriend is the very very tall one. His older sister is in the nude dress (£65 from Next catalogue), little brother in the suit and blue tie and his youngest sister in the pink dress. His mum is in the grey dress on the far left!
I was just there to take photos I didn't want to be in any of the shots as I wasn't family!! After the main bridal party shots, we milled around waiting for taxis to take us to the reception at a small pub in Queens street called RUSCADOR'S, used to be The Heritage pub! Heres a few more shots from the gardens:

Me posing in my dress haha!


The brides two daughters (white and blue) and boyfies two sisters (pink and nude). You can just see his older sisters sparkely gemmed shoes!

The boyfie and his family!



Me and the boyfie (excuse my dumb face!)
Once we were at the pub, we all found somewhere to sit and chatted with each other, waiting for the best man speech (awwww he was nearly crying!) where he made a joke right at the begining. "They say the best man speech is usually as long as the love making as the bride and groom....so please raise your glasses!" and he also said another, "I best stop now as my jokes are so bad even the cake is in tiers!". I laughed a lot at that one, I shall remember that!! The spread was lovely, none of the posh fancy food which you don't know whats what and are very scared to try, but lovely normal foods like prawns, mussels, quiches, sandwiches, crisps. I love buffets :D I ate mostly prawns, crab sticks and mussels, and also those little poofy pastries with toppings on top. They had two cakes, one sponge one for us people who don't like fruit cake, and the pretty wedding cake was all fruit cake!

Ooo what a pretty cake! Taken by boyfies little sister!

After we had our fill, more photos were taken on the little raised bit which I supposed was normaly for inhouse bands!

Awww the happy couple!

A family shot :D (The younger brother had left as he was bored)
 Then there was the traditional cutting of the cake:

Both looking happy!

And finally, at half 4 in the afternoon, our little troupe decided it was time to leave!! So with slightly aching feet and full bellies, we walked back into the main area of town and caught a bus (glamorous!) home and relaxed. I didn't personally get changed, as I was comfy  in my clothes, but boyfie and his sisters did and then his older sister came round to look at the photos and upload onto facebook (of which I did the same after she left!). The day was long but it was full of love and happiness (and cake) and I had a good time!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday was just a normal Sunday for me, relaxing in the bath for about an hour (to which my boyfie said when I got out "how long do you need your bath!") where I scrubbed, shaved and bubbled my way to relaxation then  threw on a comfy outfit of black leggings and a shirt dress. We spent the day tidying and messing around with bikes (as in cycles). Boyfie was teaching me how to ride a bike again, as I hadn't since I was 12 due to operations on my hips, but my gosh do I have a sore bum today!! We had a lovely spagbol for dinner and an early night as boyfie has to get up at half 6 in the morning for work!!

But since its now 12:38pm I had best leave this blog post for now and get on with my Monday!! I have things to do today and spent all morning on the internet already!! Hope you ladies (and gentlemen) have a nice day!
