"It's good luck if it rains on your wedding day"

Yesterday was my sister's wedding where I got to play chief bridesmaid for the day. The morning was a complete stress fest - me and my other sister's dresses didn't fit because it turned out the ones we'd ordered online were a slightly different style to the ones we'd tried on in store (which had fit perfectly - so annoying!) Then the zip on mine broke while we were trying to get it closed so I ended up having to be sewn into the damn thing!

I could launch into a huge rant about how stores should properly standardise their sizes, especially when the dresses we ordered were basically the same as the ones we'd tried on just with slightly different waist detailing, but instead I'm going to share some photos from the day. Because nightmare dresses (and rain) aside it was actually really really lovely. weddingBridesmaid dress of doomNecklaceBridesmaid dress detailingWedding CAKE made by my stepmumMe and DadPlace setting

My dress is from BHS, bracelet is from Thomas Sabo and my necklace is Swarovski -  a gift from Hayley and Daniel for being such a top bridesmaid ;-)

With weddings comes the standard "So are you going to be walking up the aisle next then Sam? *wink wink*" to which my standard response was "I need to find a boyfriend first!" until the end of the night where I claimed the next person to ask me that wasn't going to get invited if I ever do get married. Completely unfair all these questions got fired at me anyway when I worked out I was the only single female over the age of 18 in attendance other than my Nan!

Single problems aside, my sister looked stunning and you could see how completely besotted her and Dan are with each other. As a wedding gift I've given them one of my kittens (fluffy little Rory) who they picked up this morning to take home with them. Had a bit of a cry because I'm going to miss him so much but I know he's gone to a good home and my little niece Maria is going to absolutely dote on him.

My Dad flies home on Wednesday so I'm spending the next couple of days mostly with him. We're hopefully going to Alton Towers tomorrow so I'm proper excited!
