Our Wedding 08.04.08 - The Wedding Ceremony

The Venue - Newstead Abbey
The journey time to Newstead Abbey took just over 2 hours. We left Worcester at 8.30am and got stuck in abit of traffic but we still made it with plenty of time to spare. Our Ceremony was due to start at 11am but you have to get there at least 30 minutes before to sort out the paper work.
Getting out of a limousine was fun, especially with my long train.
When we got to Newstead Abbey, we were both taken to a room where we sat down in front of the official registrar. He then asked us to confirm all the information we gave when we applied for our notice of marriage. I was really nervous at that stage and then when Dave left to take his place at the Ceremony Room, I was even more nervous.
Dave and all our guest waiting for me to arrive.
Walking towards the ceremony room with my dad and bridesmaids
I walked down the aisle to Desree’s Kissing You. I was abit worried about the timing of the song as its not until 30 seconds into the song before she starts singing so I had to tell my bridesmaids exactly when to walk down. That way by the time I get to the front, she will have sung the 1st verse. Things didn’t exactly go to plan as she was still singing when I reached Dave. Oops
Making our declarations was the most nerve wracking, I was so determined to not mess up on the vows in front of everyone. We both actually got through it ok, thank god.
Exchanging rings
Heres a picture of Dave saying his own written vows to me. I didn’t cry, I always thought before our wedding that I would cry during his vows but I was just so happy I guess.
Then it was my turn to say my vows, theres me thinking the hard part is over, if I didn’t cry during Dave’s vows then I probably wouldn’t cry during mine. I was wrong. After the 1st sentance I was already bubbling. Then I couldn’t stop myself from crying, I had snot running down my nose and Dave had to wipe it for me. It made everyone laugh which is quite a memorable part on our wedding video.

The confetti throwing and bubbles
A petal went down my dress and Dave thought he’d fish it out in front of everyone, luckily my parents were behind us so they didn’t see any of this.
The photographer decided it would be a good photo opportunity if Dave carried me away

The paparazzi
We took quite a few formal pictures outside and after we did a group photo, it started raining. So everyone went indoors and we continued taking more pictures. A lot more pictures hahaha, I won’t put them all up though.
