Ok fine I’ll start. Got married recently, it was about as stressful and mortifying as any such form of public performance, so I’d made my new husband agree we could get a Greggs immediately after the ceremony to stop me feeling sick.
We rocked up into the queue as a party of ten, me still holding a ridiculous bouquet, most of our friends looking self-conscious in their wedding finery.
Woman at the till gave us our cheese savoury stotties for free by way of congratulations, and the guy working in the back claimed it was the “Northernest thing” he’d ever seen. I have never been more proud.
(worked a treat to settle my nervy stomach for the rest of the day, as well)
We just took our few friends out for a nice meal and drinks, then to an arcade for the 2p pushy coin machines lol. We’re very classy like that.
There’s a photo of me with my hotel breakfast on the day just honestly looking like I was going to throw up or pass out or both. I can’t imagine how stressful actual proper big weddings are!
That actually sounds amazing! I love those machines. Had a crack at them down the seafront the other weekend.
Sounds amazing! In hindsight I wish I did what you did! Photos are nice but didn’t enjoy the day.
Ah that’s a shame! I think it’s one of those grass is always greener things, I’m definitely happy we did the tiny ceremony but would’ve enjoyed being able to afford a big messy party afterwards lol
