What a week it has been.
This weekend (10th Sept 2011) was my best mates wedding!!
But what a busy few days i have had.
Had two days off, However wasnt going to give myself a day off, as i had a lot to do.
So thursday - 8th October,
Off i went to London to the Chinese Visa Centre to drop off our visa applications.
Took me about 40 minutes to find the sodding place, as i got off the wrong tube station, but eventually got there.......
After sitting a round for an hour waiting in line for my ticket to be called, however in that hour, i was asked by some randon woman if i spoke Chinese, i mean look at me, do i look Chinese? mmmm well anyway.
Handed in the applications and made my way to meet an old friend that i havent seen in a while for some lunch.
Was great catching up with Maryam.
Off to lush now to buy my toiletress for travelling....
I was going to go into the city but decided i couldnt be arsed so came home.
Tried to sort out the sorn on my car, but not a simple thing....
Then off to a friends to get my eyebrows threading.
By the time i had got in , i still needed to pack for the wedding....eventually got sorted...lol
Friday 9th September
Eve of the wedding.
Met up with Sam and her mum (Maggie) off we went to pick up the cake and hired glasses.
Then went to where the reception was going to be held.
OMG - the minute we drove in and i saw this massive indian teepee, i had the biggest smile on my face, as it was so Sam and Olly, its was amazing!!!
so we spent that day putting up bunting,
arranging flowers,
setting tables
cutting up pictures to set on tables etc....
putting together our own bouquets which was amazing.
then after having somerthing to eat and drink, time to hit the jacuzzi!!
Then to the hotel for some beauty sleep....yeh right
Didnt get to bed till gone midnight...
Saturday 10th Sept 2011 -Wedding day
Was woken up early by a mad bride to be!! She hasnt heard of sleeping bless....bless her, will let her off as it was her wedding day...lol
Alice turned up early (bridesmaid)
Was a chilled out morining , went for breakfast which was horrible and the staff were amazinly rude...so great start.
Headed back to the room and the hairdresser was waiting for us.
So i was first had my hair curled, waved, tonged, blowdryed....look amazing when it was finshed, wasnt sure on the back combing but looked awesome.
But it got better, off I went with Alison (one of the other bridesmaids) to the nearest pub and ordered in sandwiches for the girls.
The rest of the girls got ready.
Seem to take ages to get to 2.30pm, but eventually arrived and as true to form we were rushing around making sure we we ready on time, even though we had all day....but come on we are ladies!! Nothing like last minute
Also have to mention had we had a photography taking pics, so was a great morning spending it with the girls.
Sam looked amazing, as did the bridesmaids.
so off we went in the scoobys!! (Suburu Impreza) to the civil service Barn.
Got there early and the Groom had to run away....lol
waited around for everyone to be seated and now was our time to hit the floor, didnt realise how many eyes were on us.....
Cermony was done and dusted in 15minutes. Just teh way it should be, and i started to laugh at teh poem that Alison was reading, 'the pussycat and the owl'...think most poeple werent sure if they were meant to laugh or not....oh well...
Off to have pictures taken.
Then set back to the venue for the reception.
That evening was amazing, food was on top form.
Speeches went down well and everyone got emtional at Karls (Sams dad) speech.
But what a great day and evening, lots of drink and dancing.
Even saved Sam from banging her head after she slipped, she blamed the dress....me personally blames the alcohol...hahahah
Had another incident with a Plow and Alison, bless her, ended up with brusied legs. but she is a survivor!
Got a little emotional when Sam and Olly left for their mini holiday!
But am so proud to have Sam as my best mate and even more happy that i was part of the wedding before i leave.
Couldnt have a better best mate and Olly is great, they are so made for each other.... :)xxx
signing off till next time....:)
