Ok so I’m crap at updating at the moment – I am managing to keep up to date with my READING of diaries though – which to me is more important!
* HUGSYOUALL *
Anyway today I bring you my wedding photos
(everyone in this picture was there during my most important promise of all)
Weddings are so hectic and so mental that it’s easy to let the details just slip from your mind – every time I look at my wedding pictures I am reminded of another beautiful memory of that oh so special day! It could have been WAAAAAY better organised (for example we bought all of the flowers from Tesco at about 9pm the night before the wedding) but I honestly wouldn’t change a thing (except for that my dress wasn’t laced up right at the back and there is one photo that reminds me – It’s not here though :P haha)
(I laughed and grinned ALL the way through my vows – the happiness just bubbled over I couldn’t stop it)
I won’t tell you the wedding story AGAIN but you can see it HERE if you wish (excuse the dead template) the lasting memory for me was the feel of the day – it was relaxed and it was HAPPY.. happy isn’t a wonderfully descriptive or intellectual word.. but it does sum it up perfectly.
(I love this picture I look like I’ve just done something REALLY naughty and Gareth is amused by it – we recon it’s a prime candidate for unladylike farting sprees or something else typical of me)
Things that ordinarily would have stressed me out or worried me just felt SO insignificant to me that day – and most days since. I suffered from terrible insomnia for YEARS and I don’t know what happened on the wedding day but after making those promises and merging my soul to his in front of God and the people we love… I have slept like a verygoodsleepything!! (I almost said baby but some of them do not sleep well and they wee themselves during the night.. I don’t.. just so you know :oP)
(my beautiful husband)
Gareth truly does complete me in every sense of the word. It has taken me almost the entire of our first year of marriage to be able to accept that he really is mine – TO KEEP!! You hearing that?? That lovely Gareth… is MINE!! MY OWN …
(say it with me now… My preciouuuussssssssssss!!)
(us with the inlaws – who I adore by the way)
(us with my dad, my stepmother [they got married a month after us] and my three youngest siblings)
(us with the whole of my Mams side of the family consisting of her, uncle peter and my oldest little brother Gavin)
I can’t believe how much I love him, how much I see myself growing as a person just from being with him and near him. He makes me feel so very ALIVE.. I can’t think of another way to explain it!
(I HATE me in this one but I love the photo I NEED to shorten my nose in it it’s weird)
Marriage isn’t easy and it’s in absolutely no way the easier route – but it is worth every single second of effort that it takes!
(my fav pic in the world because nothing is more beautiful to me than making him laugh)
I don’t think I’ve ever known as much pain, fear, trouble or hardship as I have felt since I met Gareth but I also don’t think I ever truly knew what love was, I didn’t understand warmth, colour, life ANYTHING - the world would be so very empty if Gareth was not in it!!
(it’s not right to lust after someone the way I do him)
Every single day we are together our relationship gets better – I never look back and think “I wish we were still like THAT” because we have grown so much together and it’s better now.. SO MUCH better than I could ever have imagined ANY relationship being. I know him better than I know any other human and yet everyday I learn something new and everytime I learn something new.. I fall in love with him again!
(our FIRST kiss)
so there you have it.. a small selection of my wedding photo’s – they’re not the best pictures taken in terms of quality (though there are some good ones.. bloody good considering a friend did them for free) but THESE are the ones I feel best represent the day and how it felt to me!!
I wish you could all have been there too!
