Another successful wedding thanks to UK Yankee!
« on: August 14, 2009, 10:25:19 AM »
I got my fiancee visa (no doubt due in part to all the fabulous help and support from this site) in May and moved to the UK a week later.

On 12 July 2009 hubby and I were married at the Swan Hotel at Newby Bridge in the Lake District. It was a beautiful day that we will cherish forever. We felt so happy to put that official step behind us and know that borders can no longer separate us :)

To see pictures of our big day check out http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2279434&id=21002099&l=4a8e040eb0 and http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2284711&id=21002099&l=c97a27f2b0

Also, if anyone needs wedding planning help/advice please feel free to ask! I did so much planning and research for my UK wedding that it feel like a waste to have it only go to use for one big day ;)

Congratulations! Gosh, you look great.

I'm not going to exhale until I have a red passport, but every step along the way is a huge relief, isn't it?

What a beautiful dress and I love the gold/cream colors the guys wore. Everyone looked fantastic!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Thank you! It took a while to find it, but once I did I fell in love :) It just seemed to suit my personality and the venue perfectly. Now I just need to finally get around to taking it in to be dry cleaned and properly stored!

I still need to do that and it's been over 3 months!
