Day 18 - my wedding/future wedding/past wedding

Woody and I first met in 1991, he was going out with a friend of mine from college. I think about a year after our first meeting we finally got together after a false start where I stood him up. (And the friend from college gave him my number, and a warning to treat me nicely!)
Twelve ish years, three children and a bump later we decided to get married.

I love other peoples weddings, but I've never been one of those women who dreamed of the big white dress, so we decided to keep it very low key. We told a few people (that might've been hurt otherwise) that we planned to get married quietly. We didn't even tell the children until the night before, when I produced two pretty dresses and a little velvet suit and told them about the wedding...to which Eden replied "Who are you marrying Mummy?" !!!

My best friend, Heather and her (now) husband were our witnesses.
I made my own dress, which I only finished hemming the morning of the wedding, a maternity wrap dress.

The wedding took place at the Town Hall, and afterwards we went to a little local pub and had cheese pie and chips.

Then we went home, got changed and had a walk to the park.

The perfect wedding for us.

  5. Sounds perfect to me! That's what I love best about weddings, that you can do whatever the hell you want. You don't have to follow traditions or do it like everyone else does. I find the weddings like yours often end up being the most fun!
