July 11, 2009 - The Wedding Day

Hard to believe it is finally here.... we are both so pyshed about it...

First, the gals had to go to the salon and get all done up - which is a challenge in England when you consider the humidity and its impact on hair...

Here are a few pics:



Then it was time to get the dress on - all of the bridal party got ready with me in the bridal suite - the kids really made the wedding...

Time to get married!! I think I can speak for both of us when I say there were no nerves just joy. We were married in front of a small intimate group in a beautiful setting. As part of the ceremony, Paul gave Kaeleigh a necklace which had 3 pendant interlocking rings to signify our new family. The main ring was my Grammie O'Neill's wedding band. A true keepsake for Kaeleigh. Of course being in England it poured so we couldn't get any of the pictures done at the beach we had planned but we feel it was better in the end because we got to stay and mingle with everyone. We had entertainment come in for an hour with the children while cocktails and canapes were served. The Alverton Manor was phenomenal - service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We even had our own little dance. As is tradition, my family tried to get into the bridal suite to "decorate it" a bit but the staff would not give up the keys.... Truly a memorable day neither of us will forget!!!
