Just two weeks on, and our wedding is already feeling like a somewhat hazy and distant memory… I have to admit it makes me a little sad, so many months of preparation, the last few days of craziness and the whirlwind of hours which made up the day itself – now just like ‘that’ its all done and time to start the next chapter of our lives together.

Don’t get me wrong people – I LOVE being married; especially newly married, there’s a certain thrill in throwing the word ‘husband’ into the occasional sentence and it gives me the warm and fuzzies every time. However, even though many Brides who had gone before me had warned of how fast the day flies by, I had never really quite believed them. On reflection though, I think its not the pace at which the day shot past, but the feeling that it was all so sort of surreal that it was finally happening that looking back now its hard to remember enough individual details to be sure I felt truly “present”. Certain moments I vividly remember, which ground me to the fact that, yes, I was there, we did say “I do”, people laughed, cried and danced the night away, and we ran off into the night to the cheers and congratulations of our nearest and dearest.

The best decision we made in the last weeks leading up to the wedding? To get it filmed and be able to edit the video myself… a project I am heartily looking forward to as I await many hours of footage to arrive next week so that I can truly ‘re-live’ the day and see all those little moments and details which I was too distracted, scatterbrained or unfocussed to see when I was actually there!

Stay tuned, there will be lots more to come later this week as we get our pro pics and video back and ready for editing!
