Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted June 14, 2014 Moderator Popular Post Posted June 14, 2014 Right, unashamedly starting this thread to post pics of my wedding last Saturday. Also thought others could use it as a thread to dip in to share tips and advice for any other VTers who are tying the knot, and also to share your own wedding pics and experiences. We got married in Santorini with 50 guests. It was an amazing turn out for a wedding abroad, and we had guests from as far afield as Munich, Nuremberg, Zurich, Johannesburg, Chicago and LA. It was really flattering to see the effort people went to in order to be there with us. The Mrs looked stunning. The ceremony was beautiful, overlooking the caldera and in beautiful sunshine. The party was nuts. It was at beach lounge, and we had a dancefloor and lounge bar built on the beach for the day too. We went fairly full tilt as it was kind of a leaving party because we move to Vancouver in a few weeks. We had a live band and then a DJ till 4am. We took a full fancy dress box for when everyone was steamboat, and the groomsmen hoyed me in the pool before diving in themselves. It was a right old knees up! Groomsmen diving into the pool Anyone got their own pics to share? Anyone planning a wedding and want some tips? You learn so much as you go through the planning process, but it's only in the days afterwards that you appreciate what did/didn't work and remember the bits you really wanted but missed out... 15
Popular Post 8pints Posted June 14, 2014 Popular Post Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Weddings can be wonderful, two people expressing their love in the form of a ceremony and party. And although you'd hope everyone there would enjoy themselves, It's a day specifically special for two people and should be about them and no one else. So with that, I'd like to wish your wife and you, Stevo, a lot of love and well wishes for your married life. Edited June 14, 2014 by 8pints 8

tonyh29 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) That is Thomas H in the brummie t-shirt isn't it ? Edited June 15, 2014 by tonyh29 1
NurembergVillan Posted June 15, 2014 Author Moderator Posted June 15, 2014 That is Thomas H in the brummie t-shirt isn't it ? Spotters badge for Tone! That t-shirt has been in the fancy dress box for years but nobody else got the chance to wear it on Saturday. He's still a proper Brummie!
Lombardo Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Looks like a super party Rob! Congrats! In the middle of planning my own at the moment. Enquired about the honeymoon yesterday. Looks like we're heading Bali direction which has me almost as excited as the wedding itself! 1
NurembergVillan Posted June 15, 2014 Author Moderator Posted June 15, 2014 Nice one mate. We spent 4 days in Mykonos after the wedding but we'll go on a "proper" honeymoon once we've moved house. Getting married in Dublin?
Lombardo Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Just down the road from Dublin in Wicklow. Absolutely smashing hotel so really looking forward to it. As you say, spending enough money to refurnish our entire house and buy a car on top of that, but will be worth it cos it will be one heck of a day! You still getting the tickets for Wembley now that your gone foreign to Canada??? I'll still be here to take them!!!
NurembergVillan Posted June 15, 2014 Author Moderator Posted June 15, 2014 Sure you'll have a corking day mate. The next day is a right old comedown though... No more Wembley tickets for me I'm afraid. Might be lucky to scrape freebies to see the Whitecaps!
Guest Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Congrats! Been seeing the stuff come up on twitter :-D the pool jump was insane!
Guest Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 And yes, we are planning a wedding. It is going to be really small though. Still very expensive :-/
rendelc Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Well done mate. I got married in Rhodes 3 years ago. I would definitely recommend getting married abroad. You get so much more for your money and the sunshine is a given. I love the Greek islands and Santorini is on my list .:-) 1
Risso Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Looks an amazing do fella, the day itself crept up really quickly since you first started telling me about it a year or so ago! How long until you and the lovely Mrs NV decamp to the colonies? 1
DCJonah Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Congrats that looks great. I got married in Tuscany a couple of weeks ago and I'd echo the statement about having a wedding abroad. We had a get together the day before and then a BBQ the day after so it was great to see everybody for more than just the day. Most of my family used it as an excuse to have a holiday so it was nice to hear what they got up to when they left us. I have to say I never realised how much work went into sorting out a wedding and although I don't really like being the centre of attention I had a fantastic day. It just goes so quick. I'd post a pic but not entirely sure how to do it. Oh and can't wait for the honeymoom. Off to Vegas, mexico and New York in 5 weeks time. 1
