We had a GREAT DAY yesterday - thanks to ALL of you who have posted comments. My wedding day was fabulous. The sun shone (unlike today - it's raining and cold!!!) everyone turned up, there where no glitches, and we had a lovely sit down meal. Our reception finished at around 6pm and when we got home we were totally exhausted. No way could I have coped with an evening disco. Way too old for that one. I am now Mrs Caroline Hartin. Yay - not before time some said yesterday.
As well as yesterday's BIG DAY on Monday it was my birthday and my two friends from London came up early to take me out. We had a great afternoon having high tea at a local posh hotel. It was the first time I've ever had "proper" afternoon tea. Sad I know but true. Then after tea we all ended up back out my house and cracked open the bubbly. We then staggered back to the hotel where I was staying the night (as tradition dictates before the wedding) and had a right laugh drinking more champagne. So it was great to see my oldest, bestest friends in the whole wide world just before my big day. Kath, Paula and I have known each other for 28 years now.
Hope this post gets to everyone - as my phone line is actually down at the moment; and I can't post piccis until I go back to work on the 29th as I don't have the facilities here on my pc - sorry! Caroline x
Oh! I didn't realise it was yesterday! CONGRATULATIONS!! So glad you got a dry day for it too. We'll all be waiting patiently for the photos. How exciting. I feel all misty eyed for you!

So glad you got a sunny day and everything went off without any probs. Now you're all respectable!!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of that traditional hen night, spent with old friends reunited. I did the same the night before my first wedding, and it was brilliant, very cosy and fun; we all got a bit tipsy, and slept on the floor in my living room because the house had hardly any furniture at that stage. I wasn't really in touch with any old friends second time round, being a bit of a recluse, but it didn't feel so necessary. Still remember that exciting, all-girls, night-before-the-wedding feel with affection though. ;)
CONGRATULTIONS Mrs Hartin! I'm so glad the sun decided to stay put! Can't wait to see the pics!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, Jane and Lacey. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteJoanne: The sun did shine - but yesterday and today - wet and windy - phew!
Jane: Yes the hen night was great and staying away from the groom the night before - call me superstitious....but I didn't want to risk it!
Lacey: It does feel a bit strange being Mrs Hartin - but I'm sure I'll get used to it! Hee hee.
Love Caroline xxxxxx
