Gaynor was a guest blogger on LMW in the run up to her wedding so I was over the moon that she agreed to come back and show us some of the amazing photos of her wedding, so many of them that we couldn’t choose so its going to be in 2 parts. Many congratulations to Gaynor and Graham and maybe your marriage be a happy and loving one!
Hi Everyone
We have now been married for 3 months and the time has just flown by. We spent most of the first month of married life on our honeymoon; it got extended to 3 weeks due to the ash crisis at the time, and we had to spend an extra 5 nights in the Maldives, which was not at all hard, especially since Kuoni were paying!
Since getting back and getting our DVD of photographs, I have been tackling the thank you cards for our guests {I wanted to include some professional photos on the front} and trying to choose which of the hundreds of photos should make it into the album! Neither task is complete yet but I thought 3 months was a good goal! {Although since that was on Saturday; I didn’t finish by then but hopefully I will this week!}
So I thought it would be a good time to show you some of my favourite photos from the day; it was so hard choosing which to show you as we love every single one of them {which is why im having such a hard time with the album!} Our photographers were Craig & Eva Sanders
This is how I spent most of the morning, with my veil in a plastic bag on my back! The hairdresser had used a bulldog clip to attach it to the back of my top! Once I had got dressed, I came down the stairs; apart from Grahams sister, my other 4 bridesmaids hadn’t seen my dress or knew anything about it; I think they all approved! I love this shot of Graham leaving that Craig captured from inside the house. And the boys opposite the church after they had arrived.I love this shot of me and my dad, on the church steps that Eva took.This is the same pose but from Craig inside; I love how the minister is looking at this watch since it was already 1.20pm and the service was supposed to start at 1pm!I got to Grahams side. Not long after, I had to grab onto Grahams arm as I felt a little wobbly!There were a couple of surprises during our ceremony; the first one was from our flowergirl who sang Bonnie Wee Thing. She had asked if she could 16 months earlier when we asked her to be a part of the wedding and they all thought it would be better as a surprise!Exchanging our rings after our vows; I think you can see my dress really well in this shot! Our first kiss; I love how the minister is clapping away behind us!After signing the register we got some shots with our witnesses; my sister Ashleigh & Grahams cousin Andrew; also the chief bridesmaids & the best man.The second surprise came from our godmothers, who are also our aunts, who presented us with a bible on our wedding day.On our way out of the church, I couldn’t manage getting down the stairs with my dress, flowers & holding Grahams hand so he got the flowers; I think that’s what we are laughing at here!Once outside the church, we were greeted by all of our guests. I love this one of my mum, and that’s Grahams mum to the left; they did have the biggest hats ever and I’m sure we are all laughing as mum could hardly reach me to congratulate me and almost knocked my tiara!Once all the congratulations were over, it was time to get into the car {I had a Rolls Royce on the way to the church then a Jaguar to the reception} and make our way to Norton Nouse for the reception; the driver had to help get my train and veil into the car!Once me & my dress was completely in the car I was still laughing about it! This is one of my favourite shots and one of the 5 that I currently have framed!

(Wow loving all those piccies Gaynor – its so late at night now that I am going to save the part 2 instalment for another day very soon. In the meantime you can also find Gaynor on her blog OurDayByDesign)
