i now give you mrs peats wedding story

[steph]

you better grab a cuppa coz this could take all night to read i'll try to keep it short but there's lots to tell....

the week before the wedding , was hectic. it rained and rained it even rained one my wedding day

i rang the dress maker to see if my mantilla was ready and she said no but it will be ready next friday I'm like hello I'm getting married the day after, so i was stressed about it what if it wasn't what i imagined as i had designed it myself but it was perfect

we had a hail storm and one of my wedding cars got a bit of damage but was fixed a day before the wedding, so very lucky

my photo location place cancelled on me , so i had to research and find another place .

i think i went to about 7 other places and being the hunter valley and wedding season it was impossible to get in to all the popular places in the vineyards.

so i gave the place where we were orginally going to hold the ceremony and they said i could do photos on their property for $200 an hour. ...

i wasn't stressed about the rain coz we needed rain and i knew everything would be green for our pics.

it happens that we are good friends with the son of a award winning wedding video company silky oaks productions ( there in all the wedding mags)

, he was booked for our wedding but he was lending his son a video camera so he could film our wedding but how lucky were we that silky oaks had a cancellation, so we ended up with a professional wedding videographer within under a week of wedding day mind you silky oaks has bookings for up to three years in advance , we wont get the video until after christmas but thats cool.

told you it was hectic lol....

days leading up to my big day...

on wednesday my bm arrived, and we had a few drinks and went over the wedding plans, and got ready for what was in store for the next few days.

on thursday morning we had a dress rehearsal and omg i hadn't got the ribbon for my dress lol so we had to ran and grab that and come back and have a second dress rehearsal , and it took like 2 hours to work out how to get my dressed laced up and what underwear done me justice lol

it was raining so heavy thursday and in between everything i had to go to dylans school interview and yes he was accepted but don't tell anyone i cant remember anything about the whole interview coz i was wedding planning in my head.

we still had to pick up the willow , and heaps of little things like do our nails , do the wedding favours pick up table cards and manage to find time to eat and sleep it was hard as it was just me and my bm running around oh and the pouring down rain.

friday one more sleep

we got the keys to the hall at 10am so it was a late start , we done the vases first thing once we got to the hall and a few cracked so we had to rush and buy more vases we also had put tables in place make a back drop , do bathroom baskets tie curtains and heaps of other things as it was just me and kirsty, as the decorator came on the saturday before the wedding , we were so tired ...

but i glade becoz everything was perfect

saturday yay my wedding day

my wedding planner arrived at 7:30am for a quick chat than she and her assistant took off to the hall,

we went to get our hair done at 9am and i so just wanted to sleep must say i wasn't looking forward to getting married, i was just really drained

we got our make up done and becoz my mum decided to get her make up done and than decided that she hated it so had it taken off we got back to my house at nearly 1pm , and the videographer was due to arrive at 1:30pm so i was stressed but it was a rush to get dressed,

and it was raining so we decided to move the ceremony to the hall veranda we had decorated it anyway so all was good

the videographer and photographer arrived and the cars arrived we had a 30 minute drive to the photo location so me and kirsty got to chill out and have a chat , time went so fast before we knew it i was 20minutes late for my own wedding but we gave people time to travel from the garden to ceremony .

we arrived at the hall after picking my mum and step father up and he rain had stopped mmmm you can never win, the ceremony was quick and over before we knew it, we wondered outside for photos and people were happy to grab a drink and wonder around ,

it was relaxing . with david my guitarist playing in the back ground. photos were over and done with and we went inside before our guest and i nearly died the hall was amazing better than i could ever imagine than our mc ask every one to join mr and mrs peat for their first meal as husband and wife and it was great to see everyones eyes light up as they walked in .

dinner was awesome the food was beautiful, the speechees were great our best man draged me and josh on the staged and got josh to say yes dear you are always rright and got me to say something silly ( i cant remember have tto wait for vid) than pronouced as husband and wife .

david finished playing about 8:30pm we had our first dance and than the band kicked off and everyone partied hard until 2am , it was perfect

so any questions just ask yeah there was a few hiccups but it was more than perfect. told you it would be long but i still could rav on for another hour but i had to give you something worth your wait
