So the build up to the wedding ended the minute you woke up on the day. If something has been forgotten..so be it. Next is making sure that today goes as smoothly as possible and that starts with being ready on time. Makeup done, Hair done, Getting ready pictures done, Few glasses of bubbly drank done, fitted into dress now just to slip the shoes on and we are ready to go.
The day is long and tiring and you don't know how many times you have said "thank you" or "yes please" (to another drink!). Now I haven't convinced my other half to walk me down the aisle yet but from speaking to friends and family the wedding night isn't as romantic as they make out in films.
It's a case of firstly getting of these shoes that have encased your feet all day and it feels amazing, next is shouting to your maid of honour, mum or whoever is closest to your room to help you out of your dress as your now husband is passed out on the bed from drinking your dad/granddad/uncle under the table and having shots with his mates. You then have the hundreds of bobby pins that have very kindly kept your hair in place to take out so you can at least enjoy a good night sleep on that big bouncy pillow that looks oh so amazing. Finally its getting this makeup off that has made you look and feel a million dollars all day.
After all that, you get into bed and less than 5 minutes later your dreaming about the day you've just had.
Now its time to start dreaming or thinking about the next best thing after a wedding...a little break away to celebrate all your hard work planning your amazing wedding. My DREAM honeymoon is the Maldives and I cant wait to visit the islands and explore.
As well as the destination you next have to think about where you are staying and as your on our honeymoon of course its only the best!
