A very Cheezey Wedding.

I must apologise to you all dear readers for the lack of posts recently. Real life has been very busy lately and, as a result, my cyber life has suffered somewhat. Mr Cheeze and I got married a month ago and were on honeymoon for two weeks. We are also in the process of moving to a new house (actually its very old!) so things have been very hectic here at Cheezey Towers and not conducive to writing blog posts.

A bit of background.
Mr Cheeze and I met at University whilst studying for our Archaeology degrees and have been together for over eight years so we decided it was probably time to make things official! Because we spend most of our lives in mud and clothed in what can only be described as 'Builder Chic' (hard hat, hi-vis vest and steel toe-capped boots) we wanted to be as glamorous as possible on our special day. We finally decided on a 1920s theme for the day with everyone dressing accordingly (which they did with some amazing results, as you will soon see!).

The Big Day!
The wedding took place at the Webbington Hotel & Spa just outside Weston-super-Mare, a lovely mock Tudor hotel with lovely staff to match. Mr Cheeze (okay, okay his name is Dave!) stayed at the venue the night before with his Best Man Charlie whilst I stayed with my parents for the night.

Meanwhile, at my parent's house, my niece Allana, who was to be my Maid of Honour, and I were getting ready.

Posh frock.

Shoes, veil and flowers.

My bag (something new) was bought for me by my Mom and my headband was made by Sally at Punk faery artworks  http://www.thepunkfaeryartworks.com/
check her stuff out, it is awesome!

Fan, my Grandmother's necklace (something old) & garter (something blue)

Just time for a quick smoke before leaving in the gorgeous 1924 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost!

Arrived at last!

Walking up the aisle.

                                            



My Dad was going to walk me up the aisle as is traditional, but unfortunately, because he has trouble with steps, he couldn't get up into the car so he went with my Mom in their car. By the time we arrived he was already seated at the front of the aisle so Allana and I walk up side by side instead. It was really nice to be walked up the aisle by my niece in such a spontaneous way, totally unplanned but that just made it more fun!

First Dance.
We thought that our family and friends might get bored if we did the usual 'stand and sway for three minutes' type of first dance so we went to dancing lessons for five months before the wedding in order to make it more interesting! We did the quick step to 'Let's Face the Music and Dance' by Nat King Cole, I think most people were impressed as we' had kept it a secret from everyone until the big day.

Off we go!

Ooops a little trepidation there I think!

And from then on much drinking and dancing into the night was indulged in by all! We had a wonderful day and would like to thank everyone who came and made our day so special. We stayed in the bridal suite that night and left for a two week honeymoon in Cornwall the next morning.
