Our very own celebrity wedding!!

A high school friend of mine got engaged earlier in the year and we were invited to their engagement party. It was lovely to have a little reunion of high school friends and we also found out that their wedding was happening a little sooner than expected! They had been approached by a television company, to take part in a reality program where the bride and groom are separated for 3 weeks. In that 3 weeks the groom has to plan the whole wedding!! I have seen some of the program and it is a real gamble as to whether the bride will actually like any of it! She doesn't even get to see the wedding dress until the day before the wedding and the venue is a complete secret until she drives up to it!!

Anyway we were invited to the wedding and needless to say, I was frantic trying to find a dress that fitted, and was acceptable to appear on television!! Lee and Isabelle were sorted, just the pregnant woman to worry about! Luckily found one I felt comfortable in. The day of the wedding arrived and we made our way to the secret location, The Red Lion Inn, Burnsall, North Yorkshire. It was gorgeous and set right by the River Wharfe. Then we just had to wait for the bride!! The wedding ceremony and reception were beautiful and luckily, the groom had done a wonderful job! The bride was thrilled!! It was a bit strange having all the cameras around us all day, but like true stars, we got used to it!! Haha!! Congratulations Mr and Mrs Hicks!!
