It was exactly how we have always envisioned it, just the two of us.
First of all this is a day we have planned to do about 4 times in that past year but last minute work commitments just kept popping up.
So this is how it all went down.
We decided on the Tuesday that we were going to get married on the Thursday! Yep this is how our life rolls basically all the time. Our family and friends call us the lastminute.com couple.
Yachties pretty much work their lives around weather maps and the weather map was saying we had till Friday left of the beautiful summer like weather and then Boom all over, the cold was setting in for the rest of the season.
That did it, I was not getting married in the cold and wasn't waiting another 6mth to get married.
I found the most beautiful spot just outside of Portafino (Italy) and booked us into the gorgeous hotel just above the spot where we wanted to have our ceremony.
I had had my dress for about a year now, Scotty had his suit and we both had our wedding rings.
What more do you need right!
Oh yeah we did get a celebrant and a good friend of ours in Imperia just so happens to be a phenomenal photographer so Scotty asked him (Dario) if he could please shoot our wedding for us. Dario said yes straight away. Scotty said great how's Thursday for you and Dario almost fell over, he said shit i thought you meant like in a year from now. Dario was onboard!
I rang the hotel and asked could they recommend a makeup artist/hairstylist and a florist for my bouquet and they organised the whole thing for me.
GOLD and just like that we were set!
The next day I pack up my wedding dress and Scotty packed up his suit and off we drove to Portafino to get hitched!
Our hotel room balcony just happened to overlook our special spot we were to be married the very next day. I couldn't stop looking at it with so much happiness and excitement in my heart for the next day.
We woke up on our wedding day just in time to see the sunrise and put on our swimmers and headed down to our special wedding spot to take a dip. Such a great start to our wedding day.
After our sunrise dip we went to our hotel breakfast buffet then it was time to have my hair and makeup down.
My bouquet had arrived and it really was not anything at all like I had ordered but didn't think anything more of it. Scotty said he was going to take a walk while I got my hair and makeup done and when he got back there he was standing at the door with my perfect bouquet. Such a wonderful and thoughtful man, knew right then I had picked the right guy.
Lucky Girl.
So for the first time on the day I started to get nervous, it was just about time to put on my dress. It was happening!
Just as I was getting into my dress our wedding planner who helped us find our celebrant said that the celebrant couldn't make it. This is 15 minutes before I am meant to be walking down the aisle.
Lucky for us the planner just happened to be a celebrant also so she stepped up. Why she just didn't do it in the first place is beyond me.
So I put on my dress and attached my Nanna's jewellery to my bouquet and I got the call that everything was ready to go whenever I was.
THIS IS IT.....
Our wedding song began and off I went down our long beautiful aisle.
Our wedding song.
The day was perfect.x
