Our Winter Wedding in Lapland

The day did finally come. I've obviously not got into the swing of this blogging thing as we have been married for 3 whole months now.
The wedding was so magical, we were all beaming from start to finish and a little bit after until we had to come back to bleak 'ol blighty!
Everything didn't go to plan (all down to myself) I'm not the most organised person! Although it didn't go to plan, it worked out perfectly.

We had a visit from our Wedding Elf, Snowdrop on the day we arrived. She talked us through (briefly) what was going to happen. It's all a little unknown really, well I felt that way. She asked us what we'd brought along i.e music, cake topper, poems & such and we handed these over. Although, due to me being unorganised. I'd forgotten to do the music. I remembered in the middle of the night before the flight and all i could do was put it on Alan's Ipod. This was no good...boo! They needed it on a CD but hey ho. If your getting married abroad, I'd take your music in every shape and form to be on the safe side! They asked for it digitally so i thought an Ipod would be fine.

What we were going to have was Strange Love by Karen O. That song pulls at my heart strings so much. I love Tim Burton films and this song is on the film Frankenweenie. Anything about dogs ad I'm there!


Even though we didn't have the song we wanted out Snow Elf saved the day! She asked us what sort of music that we liked. I said nothing too new or pop/cheesy like boyzone. And what we got was this gem by another favourite Karen of mine....


How odd, both called Karen. I have only just realised this. Myself and Alan both love the Carpenters. In a nice and cheesy way. There songs, especially this one are great to mockingly sing to one another. Great car songs too!

Enough of me blabbering. All in all it was fabulous. I wish we could all do it again. It seems such a long time ago. Here's some Pictures of the wedding. Enjoy!

Lots of concentration

Whoop! We're almost married!

My handsome man laughing at me not knowing what the hell I'm doing!
The finished bouquet that Alan's mum made. It was totally gorgeous. I'll make sure i upload some closer images of it and also the boutonnieres too. They were fab!

It was amazing. Even though the pretty snow wet my face on the way.

Me and my big sister :D

Our gorgeous Rien Poortvliet gnomes. They are musical and play the tune 'You are the sunshine of my life' by Stevie Wonder. Another epic tune!
