Sarah's wedding

Friday 2nd November and Sarah's wedding at woodhall, Linton. Didn't sleep well last night think woke up 4ish and rolled over and hit face on bedside table. I got up at 7 and luckily no mark on face yet, was expecting a bruise. Aim was to be at hotel about 9ish and thought has gone wrong way at first. It was also nice to drive my mini again as first time since been back. I had only been to hotel once before but got there fine just after 9. When pulled up in front of hotel told to move car as would be taking pictures later, so parked in main car park. Unfortunately my room wasn't ready for me so went straight up to Sarah's room.
When got to Sarah's room her make-up and hairdresser were there. There wasn't much for me to do at first so just had a sparking wine. Tried on shoes and fit perfectly which was good but not tried dress yet. Was nice to see everyone again got hugs from few people, think Sarah happy to see me. Then was time to have hair done wanted curly and up put told would be too much like bride. The big flower girl having in bun so said about having mine in bun. Said ok as along as not straight back, so I had to side and looked nice. Then make-up I did my foundation and she did eyeshadow and blusher then I did mascara. It was then time to start getting ready linda (Sarah's mum) helped her put dress on. I had seen dress once before but not on Sarah and looked lovely. It wasn't the sort of dress I thought Sarah would go for but it suited her. I then helped some of the flower girls to get ready. It was then my turn to put my dress on which was too big was just going to get mum to help. Then realised we had straps so decided would have to put them on otherwise would see my bra.
It was then time for the wedding and to decide what order everyone would go in. As was 4 flower girls, 2 page boys and me as bridesmaid. I walked with Abbie the big flower girl who was nervous as never done before, but was fine and we went last. When got to top we say at seat on from and little ones sat on flower. Was a nice ceremony and Sarah got tongue tried and had to repeat something. It was then time for pictures we all had one taken at front of hotel which was nice. I then went to sit with parents and Joan +Steve (used to live in same close). The best man then came to get me for pictures and was stood their 10-15mins no pictures so went back to sit down. So don't thing their will be many pictures of me.
Next was to sit down for meal I was sat on same table as mum+ dad, Joan+ Steve and 3others. On top table was just the bride and groom and both parents. For meal had duck salad, sorbet, roast beef, cheese and biscuits. In toasts got a mention for coming over and got a gift when Jamie did speech. As Jamie mainly thanked everyone and gave gifts I got star necklace and earrings, very nice. After meal went to sit in bar and had to pay for drinks but luckily we had wine left from table. At 6ish John arrived and had, had a nightmare journey took 3hrs instead of 1 and half plus snow. So first thing he did was go into the sauna as night do not start til 7, so had time.
At about 7ish John came down and was so nice to see him again. Was just like it normally is with him even though not seen him since may. It was also the first time he got to meet mum and dad wondered if would be awkward but was fine. First thing John needed something to eat as had been a long journey and evening buffet not starting til 9ish. We mainly sat in the bat drinking wine which was nice. Clare arrived later with Simon for evening do good to see her again. When Clare saw John said was the sort of person she thought I would go for. Went into main area later but was not many people dancing, so we didn't. Spoke to Sarah's uni friends who gave me and John third degree what we were. Can't really remember the exact answer we gave just good friends I think. We went upstairs about 10.30 as John needed early night as biking tomorrow.
