Hi all, yes, yes I have finally returned to the world of blogging,
planning and simple day to day activities and for the moment am really
enjoying just relaxing and not stressing about anything.
My five day trip was wonderful, I enjoyed it immensly, despite being incredibly tired throughout as I was planning, moving, setting up, showing guests to their room, greeting people, settling suppliers followed by evening entertainment that we had planned for each evening meant there was very little time for sleeping or even eating!
I had been concerned about the size of the island that we chose for our wedding, it is tiny, there are only two bars, ten tavernas and perhaps ten coffee bars. There are a few sites to visit, climb up to the monastery, visit some nearby islands that are uninhabited and a small town of Turkey that is 20 minutes away by boat. I have now realised that this choice is what made the entire event such a success, there was no need for directions, appointments to meet people, I simply walked along the harbour front and could find almost anyone I wanted to. In addition all our friends got to know each other, socialised and have become more friendly than ever which is great!
The first evening consisted of an unplanned dinner with the first few guests that had arrived, followed by drinks and dancing, oh yes there was dancing every night and plenty of it! I think it was at this point that I was able to relax and realise that it was all going to go well, guests were arriving, guests were happy, guests were dancing, I was dancing, everything is really ...... OK.
Next evening was the party, a foam party no less, it was great fun, unexpected, a great success, I think everyone enjoyed it, got drunk, danced and had a good time, which was the point!
Following evening and the night before the wedding was ouzo night, set up along the harbour front it was so cute, all guests had arrived for this event and it was great to be able to spend a little time with everyone! Lot's of ouzo and Greek dancing was had by all!
And then we arrive at the wedding, which I will go into in more detail over the next few days!
