SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, the lads check into their place and we go back to our place and I leave himself there with his son Nick so they have some time. They both end up just going to sleep for a few hours ! I go to my mothers, more cousins arriving and whatnot ... chaos is the order of the day !

Friday evening I''m in town and I haven''t eaten anything all day and I''ve been up now since 4:30AM with only three hours sleep (half-sleep!) .... and I am getting about ten texts a minute on my phone. My bro-in-law has organised a stag (bachelor party) for P. He has called in all my cousins husbands and boyfriends aswell and there''s about eighteen of them. He has hired a bus to take them on a pub crawl ....... so the girls decide they are taking me out too and I''m not to leave town .... (you all can tell where this is going to end up) so I''m in a pub (alone) and order a pint of the black stuff. It''s actually lovely, my first few minutes totally to myself in days.

Then it was funny because I was in the bar directly across the street from the stag so all the lads were together and I was by myself so I went over to them ! Course I got roared at when I went in the door but it was fine, early hours yet .......... long story short, the pints were joined by champagne - sisters, cousins, aunts, friends & even my Mom joined me on my ''hen'' and I wore this mad wig and kept texting my bro-in-law to be sure they weren''t doing any unmentionable things to my poor honey !!!!

here''s me after a while

finally the guys came back to town (did a crawl round countryside pubs in the middle of nowhere!) and we all met up - everyone merry and then some at this point, dancing and getting VERY jiggy with it !!!


great fun - off for burgers and chips but now I''m feeling
say goodbye to my honey, will see him tomorrow at the church .........

now - I have to interject here that I (despite being Irish) am not the worlds biggest consumer of alcoholic beverages, I think I was on such a total natural high, so sleep deprived, hungry etc. and I just was having a bloomin'' great time !!!!!!

 

[Erin]

Wonderful - I can''t wait to hear it all - I''m getting visuals like I''m there! Good storytelling so far! Give us more as soon as you have time.

These interruptions are worse than American Idol ''who''s going home'' nights!

SATURDAY MORNING - SEVEN HOURS TO TILL THE CEREMONY

yours truly (ashamed to say) wakes up decidedly feeling ''under the weather'' ....

incidentally, the day begins grey and overcast with drizzley showers - not the wedding day a girl hopes for.

last thing on my (now pounding) brain is the weather. the phone rings, another arrival from the U.S. (all, of course, chipper and high-spirited and alive and awake and excited) so I have to go to town and meet him. I just about wanted to KICK MYSELF for the night before.

I go to town, meet him, show him where he''s staying etc. He finds my state HIGHLY amusing. I go home and crawl back into bed.

the hairdresser arrives at 11:00AM. I am being consulted from my bed about various bits and pieces for later in the day. I wonder what state my honey is in. I tell them all to get their hairs done first. I finally get up again at 1:00PM.

now I just TAKE CHARGE ......... I just totally mentally take charge and point blank REFUSE to feel hungover any longer. dammit !

and, miracle of miracles, it worked

Had a shower and felt like myself for the first time all day ! hooorah !!

Got my hair done, was feeling rather like a princess once I got my headdress on. yikes !!

time is a-tickin''

going to the chapel and we''re gonna get ma, aa, aa, ried
going to the chapel and we''re gonna get ma, aa, aa, ried

 

[blueroses]

GGAAHHHH!!!! waiting with bated breath......this is such a wonderful story!!! Whee!

 

[Blue824]

You are a cruel cruel girl Croi....making us wait for bits and pieces!!!!!!!
Sounds like everything was off to a good start, minus the hang over

Can''t wait to hear the rest!

 

[kanne]

oh this is great. I LOVE STORIES. Feel like I should be curled up by the fire with slippers on and a mug of something. But I''m at work so this presents a challenge.

hmmm

hee hee

 

[Croí]

hey, it''s not on purpose ..... I get rudely interrupted by work !

BACK TO THE STORY - SATURDAY, ONE HOUR TILL THE CHURCH

so, things then got a bit "whoa!" for me ........ and I had to ring my sweetie and hear his voice tell me that when I got the church he WAS going to be there ! He promised he would be !

so then I was fine. From that point on I was on a little cloud, just floating around the house - no stress, no panic, nothing but a silly grin on my face and LITERALLY a song in my heart !

Two of my four sisters were there by now and dressed and ready and my two nephews (SO ADORABLE, wait till ye see !) and then third sis arrived and then bro-in-law left to take the groom and bestman/groomsmen to the church ......... IT''S ALL HAPPENING !!!

I was ready to get into my dress !!! DEEP BREATH !!!!

I''m telling you ladies, no matter how much you dream of it, imagine it, picture it - you just look at yourself and can''t believe your eyes ......... I just couldn''t believe it was me, really me, and it was really REAL and REALLY HAPPENING ... I was IN MY WEDDING DRESS !
I was about to marry this amazing, wonderful, incredible man who wanted to spend the rest of his life with me - and I was going to do it with all my family around me, and now, I look outside and THE SUN WAS SHINING AND THE SKIES WERE BLUE !!!!!!!

It''s totally overwhelming ........... in the BEST, most amazing way !

 

[Erin]

Oh Lovey, that''s awesome! omg

I hope I remember to catch my breath the way you did when you look at the last reflections of singledom.

 

[icekid]

siiiiiigh! Croi, come back!!

they don''t REALLY expect you to get anything done at work, i swear!

 

[JCJD]

*Sigh!!* How wonderful!! Isn''t it amazing how much better you feel when you decide you''re going to feel better? Yay!

And didn''t you know, Croi, it''s good luck to have rain on your wedding day!!

 

[MissAva]

[HOUMedGal]
