Glad my wedding is so hilarious! This doesn't happen on the wedding forum...*dramatic flounce*

I was picturing it with a hair-flip. Except I've had to cut my hair so short to try to get most of the colour out before the wedding that I don't have enough to flip at the moment.

[DevilsDuck]

Are you not married yet... Jeez, you're dragging this out aren't you!

[Nicola_Red]

Nope, not yet At the moment my mum is working on making my bouquet and I'm in the process of getting a bunch of pieces of Scottish tablet ordered for our favours. Dress is still in progress. I still need shoes and some other accessories. Christmas is starting to loom large so I'm worried about how I'm gonna pay for everything, but you know, it'll work itself out.

[dimtimjim]

so I'm worried about how I'm gonna pay for everything

Get one of these....

[Nicola_Red]

Mm, excellent suggestion. OH NO WAIT

[Nicola_Red]

We got married yesterday at Gretna Green. In case anyone's still interested!

[fatboydave73]

Many congratulations !!

[flyingbadger]

Late night, beer induced Internet browsing congratulations from me.
Hope you guys had a great day and many a sausage was devoured.

[MadTheEddos]

Belated congratulations from me!!
One way or another I managed to completely miss this thread, neither the time it was initially made nor the times it's been bumped coincided with the rare times I was active on here in the last couple of years or so. But I do kinda remember back during the brief period when I was regularly posting here(Summer 2012 I think) reading that you'd met someone and that it had a special feeling about it. Lovely to see how things have worked out!

Wishing you much happiness

[Nicola_Red]

Thanks all here's a pic:

[Nicola_Red]

Finally added a decent quality pic. I know, I know, it's old news now! But just in *case* anyone wanted to see it.

[foot-loose]

Aww cute. Congrats Nic!

[Johnny 1989]

Very belated congratulations Nic, I had forgotten that last time I was on here you were due to get married

[Nicola_Red]

Thankyou We had a very small ceremony, 11 guests, all immediate family, meal at a restaurant afterwards, no big reception or anything. We had initially planned to have a party back in Manc afterwards but we didn't have the money and I was just burnt out from planning and couldn't be bothered. Even planning a tiny wedding is really, really hard work.

[Yudster]

Congratulations Nic!

Nic, after all the discussion about what you were going to wear, what did you wear? Have you got a picture of you in your wedding dress?

[Nicola_Red]

Yes! i went relatively understated in the end, after trying many on and sending them all back, it's just from the high street. All the pics I like best turned out to be the ones that were taken outside, when it was mostly covered by my vintage fur coat. I have this one, which was taken by my aunt:

[DevilsDuck]

Was it real fur?

[Nicola_Red]

Was it real fur?

Ha! Of course not. Any vegan considerations aside, I hate the feel of real fur. One of my aunts had a real fur jacket when I was a kid and I remember getting the job of taking the coats upstairs when they came round and the feel of it was just...urgh.

The jacket I'm wearing was very cheap from ebay, a couple of years ago, but I haven't worn it much as it's just never cold enough in this country anymore. A January wedding in Scotland was the perfect opportunity. I bought a beautiful 1960s silver handbag to match it, and silver Converse to change into after the ceremony (my red heels were not that high, but I still couldn't stay in them for more than a couple of hours, I'm rubbish at wearing heels in my old age).

[DevilsDuck]

I was thinking..."Wow, she has changed over the last few years!"

But its ok, same old Nic

[foot-loose]

Good choice of venue.

[Nicola_Red]

Yeah, Gretna is beautiful. I think some people think that it's like a wedding conveyor belt but it really isn't. I couldn't have been any happier with our choice (although a part of me would have loved to go to Vegas, but we just couldn't afford it).
