Mrs Humps fantastically sparkly wedding report <3 17/12/11

Sooo its a Saturday night, my hubby is at work my little girl is in bed, and im sat here watching rubbish. Then it occured to me what I could do - finally write my wedding report!!
So Ive opened up a bottle of the good stuff to share with er... well myself! And I shall hopefully entertain some of you with my story.
I enjoyed reading these in the past and got loads of ideas from them to (and also got very giddy thinking this will be me one day) . So as I write, I will pass on any hints and tips that I remember and also (if I remember how to!) add lots and lots of pictures!

Yay!! A new report to read and pic to 'ooh' over!

I do love a good wedding report!

How we met

It was February 2008 and I was a 23year old party animal!

I had a random few years prior to this, worked abroad as a holiday rep for a few years, came back settled down with a boy, got a mortgage (eeek BIG mistake!) turned old before my age for 2 years, lost 2 grandparent within a few months of each other which made me realise life was to short to be with the wrong person. Left the boy and moved out of our house, turned into a raver where I didnt sleep all weekend, was slightly promiscous...ahem! But was also having the time of my life!! I had a very stressful job mon - thurs as a manager of a childrens nursery, so definately made up for it thurs - sun by spending it %&*$# faced haha.




Soooo January came was feeling particually shitty after a hazy christmas, felt rubbish about myself and was drowning in debt (still had the house and debt with the ex)and decided to do something about it. Thats it I thought! NO MORE BOYS AND SPENDING, time to get me some self respect!!

So I deleted all the boys numbers out of my phone,I stayed in a few weekends got loads of girly dvds, started eating properly and made an appointment with the citizens advice with regards to my debt. Yep I was on the road to recovery!! Then one night I was messing about on facebook, when some one sent me a request for an application called zoosh. I added it, it was like a dating site but full of hotties haha. And there he was my lil bronzed god (well to me anyway)




So we started talking for about a month, then finally met up, this is a pic from our first date

We saw each other a few times a week, as he lived 50 minutes drive away (and I didnt have a car) I was renting a room from my cousin so didnt have much space, and hubby lived at home with his parents.

The Big Move

After a month of seeing each other, I found myself a little one bedroomed cottage to rent (I missed my independance) Well the day of the move was very significant to me, as this was the day when I realised I loved him

Well anything that could of gone wrong that day DID go wrong!! We borrowed a van, it was REALLY old and big, well it didnt fit up the street of the house I was moving out of, so had to park at the bottom which was a very busy main road in a loading bay only space.

It poured it down!

Every tom, dick and harry saw my worldly possesions

Finally loaded the van (and avoided the traffic warden) and the van wouldnt start ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

Spent an hour trying to find the engine etc *please note if your in an old van and it breaks down, you may find the engine in the floor??!! wtf!*

It was at this point we realised we had a flat battery!! Anyway an hour, borrow of a car and a jump start later we were on our way FINALLY. I was a complete and utter witch the whole of the day. Just a HUUUUGGGEEE grump, anyone who knows me, knows what Im like for my nails, hair and make up being done and at this point I looked like a drowned rat AND i broke some nails grrrr.

So we got to my new cottage, spent an hour unloading everything, then Hubby sent me upstairs to sort out my walk in wardrobe eeeeeeek I was then in heaven! I came down a few hours later after sorting out my new bedroom and having a hot shower and de stressing out, to my hubby cooking home made meatballs, he passed me a glass of rose, and took me into the front room, he had set out the room (as best he could) he had lit candles, put up a sheet at the window (I hadnt bought curtains yet) and he had even bobbed to asda to get the food wine and an arial for the tv - I had stressed about that earlier! Thats it I realised I had found the man I was to spend the rest of my life with

2008

The rest of 2008 went good with a few ups and downs, hubby put in for a transfer at work, I had calmed down on my going out, I sorted out my debt, things were good. Then in August 2008 I was made redundant at work, the nursery was closing down. BUT at the same time hubbys transfer came through and we made the big step forward of him moving in with me. They say everything happens for a reason and I am a massive believer in this. Within 2 weeks I had found myself another job, it wasnt a management position, but a jobs a job. We went on holiday (our first!) and it was on holiday when we took the decision to start a family. We came back off holiday to find a letter from the fire service to say hubby had been successful in his interviews eeek I was soooo proud - its all he has ever wanted to do. I aslo chucked my contraceptive pills away and we started trying for a baby

Whooops promised myself it wouldnt be writing heavy, so heres a few piccies to balance it out
