I have sooooo much to do it's scary but I'm just going to plod along until I catch up.
Mark and Nicky's wedding. 07/08/10
My brother Mark was proposed to by Nicky on a leap-year, on TV and he said yes. You can see the video here. It took a very long time for him to actually say "I do" but they finally did it, and on our 6th wedding anniversary too.
We had arranged various baby sitters for the boys. First shift for Leo was Sophie & Henry who kindly cut short a night away from their kiddies to pick him up. I was very sad to see him leave and I couldn't watch and had to go back into the house, crying and smudging my make-up.
Then Naomi with Iestyn came by to pick Ellis up. They were to have the boys until bed time really and then Auntie Lucy was going to put them to bed and stay at our house until we got home. I don't know what we would do without our friends. We are very thankful for all the help that they give us. You know who you are, and we love you very much. xxx
We had to leave straight away and we knew the motorway would be busy but we weren't quite prepared for how busy it was. We ended up arriving in just enough time to get changed, fix my make-up and hair and grab our seats for the ceremony. Quite a rush.

After the ceremony we all grabbed a drink and then it was time for some photos.

There was some time to mooch about for a bit, drinking and chatting, before we took our seats for our high tea.
Bride and groom entered, we all ate, it was very yummy and then it was time for the speeches. I seem to have missed the father-of-the-groom speech somehow as I thought I filmed the whole thing. It was quite funny and he had done a silly picture of Mark and Craig together when they were young. All good fun.
Mark's speech was made up as he went along!
After tea people went all over the place. I got changed, and just hung around chatting to everyone and taking a few pictures before the disco started. Mark didn't want to do a first dance so instead Nicky and her girls did this. It was hilarious and very well done.

The disco was really good and the DJ played quite a selection of music so there was always someone on the dance floor. In fact at the end of the night he made a comment that this was the first wedding he had done, where there was at least one person on the dance floor all night. This video is the only one I could post as the rest would be too embarrassing for some.
Drunken antics insued and the night rolled on. We had a lush BBQ at around 9pm and then it was just drinking and having a laugh until mid-night.
We said our goodbyes and left soon after the disco stopped. Lucy was still awake and after a quick chat with her we let her go home for some well earned rest.
Rob and I stayed up for a bit just sorting things out before hitting the sack ourselves.
