Ok
Well it's been a long time coming but here finally is a brief update on the wedding. Well we'll start with that at least.
Week up to the wedding was nuts. I'd started the new job and that was kicing along strong. Finished work with 2 days to go and then spent the next 2 days going from all those appointments girls do to make themselves look purty, to running around trying to get halls decorated, track down lost decorations and try to remember not to drink due to a child that was seriously lagging all my energy. Hey, being pregnant is a big chore sometimes!
The day finally arrived, Riff and I sat and had a cuppa and a chat to just well, chat about the day ahead, then before I knew it, the make-up lady was walking in the door and it was time for Riff to head to my folks house to go get dressed.
The day was great! Not too stressy as you would expect a wedding day to be. Only dramas included:
hair lady getting lost and arriving late,
One of the bridesmaid arriving late but by fluke it worked out well timed anyways,
Us starting our photos late and then only just finishing as the car arrived to pick us up,
my nanna being sick on the day and not making it there,
the boys forgetting the rings and having to ring someone else to pick them up,
no power to where the celebration was but my friend who was singing improvised and sang us down the 'aisle'.
So I had a ball on the day. Riff and I pretty much just chatted to each other the whole time and got in trouble when it came time for photos, we had to shut up so we could smile! Sponge (little sister) didn't show up and didn't tell anyone that she wasn't showing up. Just pulled a no-show. 3 of Riffs friends who had rsvp'd as 'yes' didn't show either and there has been no word since from them. I still think that incredibly rude of them.
The day was lovely, stormed later that night which was a lovely way to finish it all off. My older sister Hormonal announced after the wedding that she was pregnant which was a surprise so there were happy tears all round. At least she was nice enough to wait till after the event to tell people, for once she didn't flog the limelight from someone else!
So many smiley photos of the day, some pretty good memories, and for such a simple event (I thoroughly recommend the lunch-time event, all over by 3 and you can go home and have a sleep!) it was great.
Big thanks to my folks for all the work they did, Antigone for making it down from northwards for the weekend and being my right-hand chick, of course Riff for putting up with me being a frantic idiot and all the folk who came on the day and didn't start any fights, smiled in photos, had fun, and gave us stuff!
Next up when I find a chance to sit without killing my joints (man babies put some serious stress on joints), the honeymoon and dramas that unborns cause. ;-)
