here i go .. a liottle bit more for you...

well the nigt before the wedding me and Andy adn all our friends went out for the biggest mixed meze you have seen in your life it was huge... rob nt the best meal to have before squeezing into a wedding dress but oh well... was gorgeous. After the meal we went our separate ways my best friend lianne came to stay at our hotel and andy went to stay with her boyf mitchell so we wouldnt see each other the next morning. A little bit of tradition...
i somehoe managed to sleep until 8 am dont kn ow how... and went to breakfast where we met some mre friends who were staying at our hotel aswell. I didnt eat much in fact i think i managed a piece of watermelon.. oops. As the wedding wsnt untl 4 we hada bit of time to chill out so we got ourselves settle at the pool and even had a sneaky coktail at 10.30 am.
At 11.30 am my hair dresser lorriane turned up at our hotel with Andys sister and he daughter Olivia who were bridesmaids aswell and she had already done their hair. we opted for plaits and bun on the side for the heat and i lvow loved loved it. Sop we then headed back to the room and before i knoew it preparations were in full swing.we hing my dress on the curtain rail..

My chief lianne had her hair done and then my sister who appeared very late!!!! then it was little beths turn who wanted her hair curly and then me.


Music was on and everyone weas having fun.. but apprarently i was the quietest everyone had ever seen me.. think i was just contemplating. i remember sayign that i dont mind if things are missing i just want to get the words out. i had felt teary all mornig but just couldnt get them out. then about an hor and half before the weddin my mum came and i had a little cry hoping that would be the end of it.
We ordered champrers on room service and when i was opening it .. it really really dawned on me i had to keep chanting to myself' its only andy! there is nothing to be worried about'
my bridesmaids were busy getting themselves glammed up and i dont knw why but time seemed to just vanish getting ready. I literally put my dress on 5 minutes before we had to leave because it was just soo hot - 43 degrees that day.
getting dressed...

i remember chris the master of ceremonies coming with my dad to get me and i was sooooo nervous i quicjkly downe dthe rest of vodka and cokem adn another glass of champers!!! whislt beth was busy posing or the camera... this is one of my favs...
i had a quick piccie with my mum before she went to take her place and then it was time to go.

a few stairs and trips later and we were on our way. I could hear songbird starting and i nearly cried... my sister said god you could have warned me this song always makes me weep. and we were off
bethany then did her reading... possibly not one of the best decisions since people were already crying from song bird... the dvd is sooo funyy three of our bridesmaids are crying at this point..
oh my i couldnt stop that was me gone.. and id not even said a word yet....

andy loves this piccie..
whilst the registrar lady was talking i had to keep loking at the sea just to stop the tears until i ntoied that she was colour coordinated to our wedidng to -- he he lots of people commented on that later on.

we said our vows ( after i had had a pause for m ore tears lol)

and swopped rings and signed on the dotted line we were finally mr and mrs guest...

the guest made two lines and they played you and me by the wannadies it was fantastic. we had bubbles blown al ove us it really was the best feeling ever.. neither of us could quite beleive it.
we seemed to pose for millions and millions of photos... and it was soo hot i could feel sweat trickle down my leg... gorgeous eh. Plus my air that was so beautiful an hour or som before was no longer curly... but did i care nope. i now had married the man i wanted to be with forever and ever.
Here are a few of our pics..

we were then around the gardens for a short while doing some filming for our dvd.. which is my most favourite thng from the whole wedding - thanks Jill.

we then went up to the bacchus bar where we were greeted by everyone with their fruit punch.. we even got saved a glass and it was lovely. We cut our cake, ate the cake and did all the speeches where there was yet more rying - god bless my dad he did a sterling job and i was sooo proud of him.

ther are heps of fab picutres from then but i cu it down.
After a few drinks and minglign with all our guests it was time for us to leave them for half an hour to go for our sunset pictures. We ended up about 10 mins away from the centre of ayia napa i think it was caled sunset beach.. we ended up rigt on the rocks with my dress and shoes. Easy it wasnt....
i love the results though see what you think...







( ther are some more that i love to but they are on high res disc and take ages to upload so i may have to do that at another time!!)

we were then taken backto the hotel and our guests had just moved to the rondavel for the BBQ - it was a lovely sight lots had bene paddling in the sea or taking their own sunset pics..
we ate and drank ( mainly water and coke for me cos i was soo thursty plus i wanted to savour every second)

ther was loads of dancing and fun.. andy even managed to have a rock 20 mins by the dj and there afre some fab piocs of that on facebook.
we also did our first dance to michael buble everytihng.. well a shuffle really. and yes i did have another tear!!

the music stopped around 12.30 but we were down at the rondavel until 2.30 am,, after which some of our friends and us went tol our froom for a late night drink or a coffee lol.. it really was the perfect ending to the perfect day surrounded by our nearest and dearest. we knew that we wanted to stay up as long as we could with our friends to enjoy the whole day and savour every minute as we would enver get that chance again. here is a pic of us around 4,30 am just beore everyon left.. i don think anyone could say that we didnt live that day to the max..
it was the best day ever...... i tyihnk this pic sums up the fun we had...

Hi mands11980,
Your wedding sounds like it was the perfect day, and you looked stunning. I get married at Nissi Beach 15th May next, and you have got me so excited. Hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions, aa still in the planning stage. Where did you get your bouquet/bridesmaid flowers from?(they are gorgeous), What photographer did you use? and was it the hotel dj you had, and was he any good? Any help would be appreciated xx
