The wedding

So I'm back to reality with a massive bang. Nearly 3 weeks out of the office means you come back to over 6000 emails and a hell of a lot of work that has been put aside for you during your absence. Happy days!

Anyway, I won't get bogged down with the dullness of daily life and I'll give you a bit more of an update on the wedding. Thanks for all of your lovely comments on my last post. I'll try not to bombard you with too many photos of me in a white frock!

The day was amazing, everything we could have hoped for. The weather was awesome (perhaps a bit too hot for prancing around in a wedding dress, but never mind), the hotel was gorgeous, the food was amazing. I'm going to run out of superlatives soon.

The ceremony took place at the Cloisters which dates back to the 8th Century. It was outdoors, so everyone was hot, but thankfully the ceremony only lasted about 10 minutes. Short and sweet. A truly lovely setting.

 

We then headed back to the hotel (The Bellevue Syrene) for the reception, processco, a delicious 5 course meal, brilliant speeches and amazing views. It was wonderful.

After 5 courses of food we headed to another venue called the Foreigners Club for more drinks, food and some very bad dancing. I'd planned to stay in my wedding dress all day, but it was fairly uncomfy due to the corset and the fact that I was boiling, so I changed into another dress that I just happened to have handy... I look slightly bedraggled here!

Oh and take a look at this for a honeymoon suite. It was built into the rock - so our very own honeymoon cave. Utterly ridiculous!

My dress was everything I'd hoped for. Ballerina length with the most amazing bodice that sucked everything in and up. I had been disappointed that I'd not lost a bit of weight before the wedding, but on the day it didn't matter at all. I felt lovely. I was hot and sweaty, but then everyone was, I was a fat bride, but nobody cared.

Now, it's back to it. I'm heavier than I am happy with and I've not exercised for 4 weeks. I'm back to eating sensibly and really enjoying it, you can have too much of a good thing (I don't need to eat pizza for a very long time). PT returns tonight and I fear it will be really hard, but I need to get fit again. I'm not planning to join a weight loss class at the moment, I just want to concentrate on cutting down and seeing how I get on. Watch this space!
