The 'white' wedding...

With barely a few hours to sleep, I went to bed at about 2am after a cup of tea with my mum and a debrief about the night, we were up again to get ready for the next bit…the white wedding. 

I started the day by, again having a cup of tea with my mum and discussing the day ahead.  I then did my mum’s hair, not a hairdresser by any stretch, but I was quite pleased with the end result seen here…

My ‘girls’ were soon to follow.  Now if you don’t know about my girls then let me tell you a bit about them…’My’ girls are my nieces.  Their names are Jasmine who is 7, and Aaliyah who we call LiLi who is 5, and they are my darlings!  I love them.  I don’t have any children of my own, yet, so all of my maternal affection goes on these two little beauties (well them and quite sadly my kittens).   Anyway, they were flower girls for the day, they came to my parents’ house first in their pyjamas, as my other brother (who was Best Man), wanted to get ready there.  Here they are in their pj’s anyway…cute.

After a quick shower I did my own hair and make-up all in about 20 minutes!  As I was going to be a bridesmaid, Lisa had told me the night before how she wanted our hair to be.  Based on her quick explanation I had a bash, fully expecting to be told it was wrong when I got to the hotel room, but apparently it was fine so I was good to go. Inbetween I made my way to my brother’s house to get some shots of him with his mates, all being helped along with a bit of Dutch courage. ..

The day was beautiful.  Hot, sunny and the grounds were really spectacular.  Here are a few shots that sum up the day…
