Hello friends,
Well, I am feeling somewhat tired, and I have to say it did take it out of me this weekend. But boy, was it worth it!!!
There was nothing more magical, more special, more that I could have wanted for our wedding. It was perfect! ^_^

Just as I left my parent's house, with my father the sun dipped behind some clouds and it started to rain slightly, and by the time we got to the botanical gardens where the ceremony was being held it had become pretty heavy ~ but as soon as I saw my Chris waiting for me...I could feel my heart pulling me towards him. And I don't think a hurricane would have stopped me getting to him. By the time we had started saying the vows we had written ourselves, the sunshine began warming back up again.
Apart from the legal stuff we have to say..we wrote our vows together ~
I chose you to be my husband/wife, my partner, my best friend, my confidant, my soumate.
In sickness, I will care for you and keep you safe. In health, I will be your rock and never leave your side.
In sadness, I will help you remember happier times. In happiness, I will be there to make more memories with you.
In poverty, I will do all I can to make our love rich and in wealth, I will never let our love grow poor.
Your beauty, heart and mind inspire me to be the best person I can be, so I pledge my heart and myself to you.
I promise to be a true and loving companion, to love you with all that I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how ~ Completely and forever, until our days end.

Everything just totally came together, and it was so magical! My headdress looked perfect, my pashmina looked amazing, the flowers, the centrepieces, the corsages...everything tht I had handmade myself - I think that was what had been worrying us the most...but it just worked!
And by the time we got to the masquerade ball in the evening...it was bliss! Everyone *really* loved the masks we had made for them! And the little candle lanterns that we had bought for the veranda looked so perfect twinkling away into the night...I just know my elven and fae-friends were all around me lending me thier energy to keep going. Everyone kept saying "I don't know how you managed the whole weekend without your stick!" but I do....
It was the warm glow of love, light and peace surrounding me. And of course an awful lot of faerydust from the Green Faery that was sent from Tokyo the week before!!!

I don't have my professional photos back yet..but I have downloaded some of my friends' ones from facebook and put them up on my page for you guys to take a look at :D
