On Saturday 18th Dec I looked out my window and watched the falling snow cover the streets. Nick, my family and I were due to leave for Scotland on the Sunday for a magical week away. We were going to get married and spend Christmas there.
Despite loving the snow, this was at its most dangerous. And it wasn’t stopping.
We had been taking calls all day from our parents and family asking us to be prepared to cancel the wedding. We decided to stay calm and carry on.
Conditions worsened but we got there in one piece!
However, the conversation with our trusted registrar brought us back to reality. Despite assuring us that she would be there whatever the weather, she now warned us that she would only be there if the weather allowed her.
My wedding party assumed I was calm, but I was intensely traumatized.
Planning my wedding was a real test of character and I'm glad that I passed that test. I managed to get through it without stressing anybody out or having a tantrum.
It was about Nick and I working as a team, together remaining positive and determined to have the best day of our lives, whatever.
very glad to hear all remained calm - i take it there was no need for the snow-shoes....might have made for an interesting wedding photo though...
ReplyDeleteA truly creative event created by a true creative!!! I'm so thrilled it all paid off given the conditions and hard work.
