Firstly I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for your being so patient with me these past few months with my lack of blogging. I truly love writing my blog and it was a shame that I was not able to post whenever I wanted to I the run up to the wedding as my spare time was limited. There has been so much that I have wanted to write about, and lots of things have passed by without any acknowledgement. However, that is all about to change as on Saturday 12th June at 2pm I married the love of my life and became Mrs.Hill! I have been chomping at the bit waiting to write this post since about 3pm on the day! However it is going to be another two weeks before we get our professional photos, so I have been and am still collecting as many as possible from guests so that there are lots of photos to tell the story of the day and of course enough to bore you all stiff with!
It was then time to get dressed. I zipped my beautiful sister into her divine dress which I had secretly wanted to wear myself! Brooke then began the arduous task of lacing me into my gown. Before long Mark who is a dear friend and who I asked to give me away arrived As soon as he popped the champagne cork our photographer Natalie and her assistant Becky arrived to take a few photos. Then the doorbell chimed again with the arrival of our bouquets and Mark’s buttonhole. I was rendered speechless again as the flowers were out of this world beautiful, I felt dreamy just looking at them let alone taking in their intoxicating scent.
The ceremony was at 2pm and we arrived at 1.55pm so we had a few minutes to breathe and try to stay calm and relaxed. After spending the weeks leading up to and the morning in relative calm and serenity I began to feel anxious and nervous at the gravity and importance of the ceremony. After 10 years, 4 months and 1 week of being a girlfriend and fiancé, I was about to become a wife to the man of my dreams. I felt as though my heart was overflowing with love and the weight of it almost crushed me and my knees began to buckle. However Brooke embraced me and held my hand and told me she loved me. Brooke was the tonic that I needed and Mark was a rock of strength as he held my arm in his. Then it was time. The vicar led us into the porch way and I felt faint. The organist played Wagner’s Bridal March and then we turned to walk down the aisle…to be continued…

Morwenna, thank you for the beautiful blog post! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and was on the edge of my seat with every little detail. I agree with Janie, the way you explained everything, almost made me feel like I was right there with you. I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of Annie & Poppy too! It sounds like your day was magical indeed. Can't wait to read Part 2!

oh gosh, how lovely. Lovely, lovely, lovely! Wedding chat is never boring, so lay it on thick! :O)
I wish I'd have thought of it sooner, I'd have sent you a silver sixpence to have on your day.
It's funny how important the car is, I travelled in a vintage morris minor! It was fab. I'll send you the link to their site ond day, Bill and I are still featured on there (though I no longer have the heavy fringe that I had then!)
looking forward to the next installment xxx
