It seems that before you can actually get married…

You have to have a practice go at it first..

Last night was our wedding rehearsal for this weekend, and it’s not just a quick five minutes of pointers, its the whole ceremony.

Although the whole event was slightly confusing as we had to say.. ‘On Saturday I take you…’ and ‘On Saturday I will promise…’, instead of the traditional ‘I will‘ and ‘I take you…‘ which for my simple brain might throw me out at the weekend!!!

But the whole wedding party (which is actually quite big) plus other halves turned up at a very cold, wet church for the evening rehearsal.. It was wonderful to see the inside of the church from the view that we’ll have Saturday, and at least now we sort of know what we are meant to be doing…

Now there are a number of things that you shouldn’t do at a wedding rehearsal… and I think that possibly one of the most important things is not to hit the vicars Ford KA with your big Audi A6.. Ford KA’s seem to dent very easily!!! But yes… after the rehearsal, yours truly, slightly tired and cold.. managed to reverse into the vicars car, although as one of my best men did say… The Vicar did park quite close, i.e, the same car park…

Now I was an honest soul, and went back into the church to let the vicar know, and I’ve offered to pay for the repairs… We’ll see on Saturday if he’s still willing to marry us!!!

It’s strange that I still don’t feel nerveous, or even worried about the weekend.. I feel very relaxed, I guess because it all feels right… lets see if I’m any more nerveous on Saturday…
