Wedding

As you might know... or maybe not know?
   Today was my mums wedding. In my blog i write about P who is my mums partner, and now of course husband :)
  She met him in 2011 (i think) and he's been part of my life since then. He is such a nice guy, so i couldnt ask for a better step dad!!
 
And today, my mum and P got married. And i couldnt be happier for them :)
   
This morning wasnt as stressful as i thought it would be. In the morning i went for a walk with Daisy, to give me energy for the day (yes, believe it or not going for a walk in the morning gives me energy :) Or maybe its the morning coffee... we'll never know!) And after that i had to make salad and pack together some of the food which was going to be brought to the lounge. And after that.... we'll then i had alot of time left!
 
I went to the shop to buy some energy drinks because, even if im allowed to drink, i dont want to. I dont really see the point in drinking just one glass of wine or a cider or something. Im the type of person who either drinks nothing or gets drunk... though as i dont drink often, it doesnt take alot of alcohol to make me drunk. But i feel that i want to wake up tomorrow with a clear head, not feeling awful and hungover.
 

After that, i had 3 hours to get ready and eat lunch... and alot of restless energy and boredom! 

I had planned on curling my hair, but its hard to do that when you dont have a curling iron. So it was straight hair instead!

Hair and make up is not my forte, but i tried my best :)

^^my beautiful mum & P

The wedding ceremony was only 30 minutes long, which was just the right amount of time as it was extremely hot in the church. 

   After the ceremony loads of pictures were taken, and then we drove to the lounge where the 'party/gathering' would be. 

  And i began pouring up champagne, putting out snacks etc

Once everyone had arrived and settled down, then we began with the food.

My mum and P had ordered 'sandwich cakes' which is a swedish thing. 

Fact about the 'sandwich cake'

A sandwich cake is really a great sandwich layered and of such a size and shape and with so much toppings and filling that it more resembles a cake in appearance and texture. Sandwich cake is usually made ​​up of several layers where bread interspersed with layers of different toppings or creamy consistency infilling.

The sandwich cake served cold and cut up in the same way as a regular cake.

Personally i dont like the sandwich cake, so instead i took bread, salad and salmon.

 After we had eaten P made a lovely speech.

 Once i was done eating, i was up on  my feet again and had to start making coffee (in total i think i made 10 liters coffee & tea) and i started unpacking the cake.
   My mum and P didnt want one huge wedding cake, so intead bought 5 small ones.

While everyone was eating dessert me and my sister decided to make a speech... it was sort of spontaneous, but it went well. And what i said brought everyone to tears.

Basically what i thought of spontaneously and said was how for the past few years my family have had it very tough. Me becoming sick (though i didnt mention that, though of course everyone already knows as there were only the closest friends and family there) and moving back to Sweden, but my mum found P and it makes her so happy, which makes me happy... Along those lines :)

When i looked around the room while i was talking, half of the people were in tears, and they all told me what i said was very beautiful, though i just felt nervous standing there talking!! haha

And then i could finally sit down again for a little while and enjoy some coffee and cake :)

And after a while it was back on my feet again to start clearing up. And to set up the dancefloor.

When the guests started to dance i felt my energy slipping away and sat down and called D (she had planned on coming to the wedding, but she is still in Gothenburg, so unfortunately couldnt come :/).

After that, i spent the next hour or more cleaning up.

And then i just felt tired, so called a taxi to bring me home.

Even though i spent most of the afternoon/evening/night on my feet i've had my heels on all the time, and they havent hurt.

Though i can say, now that ive taken my heels off at home... my poor feet are crying in pain!! haha

It has been a lovely, wonderful day and evening and i am so happy for my mum and P!
