Our Wedding Story
The Chapel
My mother & my sister Sarah (Maid of honor) helped me get my dress on, I was getting really warm and getting the dress on really wasn't helping. I took a minute, and took some deep breathes and some water. Finally my dress was on, it was time for the veil. In the meantime my photographer had sneaked in, and was taking snaps here and there. I stood back, and looked at myself in the mirror there was a tear in my eye... I was a Princess. I turned and looked around at everyone, they were all speechless including the photographer. There was a lovely moment there where everyone stood and just looked at me. My mother handed me my bouquet I had white and lilac roses, with trailing ivory it smelled lovely which was nice. I can still remember that pretty smell with the flowers. After many pictures in the Brides Room, Laura came through and asked if I was ready to begin. I took a deep breathe and said 'Yes'
I waited in the Brides room for 2mins, as Clayton was escorted to the altar, he was in the next room. I was then escorted out through the back of the Chapel to the front. There was a slight breeze outside, which I loved as I was so warm. I walked through the front of the Chapel, and stopped with my dad at the bottom of the stairs leading to the Chapel. My dad turned to me and asked if I was okay, I smiled and said 'yes I'm fine' Then the music started.. my mother & Clayton's mother went down the Isle first with Candle burners to light the Unity Candles. Once they were lit, the Bridesmaids started to walk, my younger sister Emily went first then Eloise, then Sarah the maid of honor. Clayton's friend Kevin was doing the music, he was meant to close the doors just after Sarah for the Bride to make an entrance. But somehow he forgot, I was starting to wonder as my father started to walk and I went with him.
