As I look back at the pictures of setting up the reception the day before the wedding, I remember feeling intensely happy and fatigued at the same time! As with all the weddings that I organise you are spurred on by will and of course the desire for everything to be just perfect! I had decided not to visit the reception venue at all on the wedding day and so tried to prepare as much as possible so that the set up the next day would be really simple!
It took around 5 hours of hard work before Niko and I were able to leave the reception venue, run to our house for a quick shower, change and then attend the ouzo evening! Needless to say I retired at 23.00 from this event, I simply could not have another late night, drink, dance and then get married the next day!
So back at the hotel, we were given a room to store all my items that I had brought in and I selected a small team of friends and family who I thought would be capable of helping me with the preparations, we proved to be a great team and got all the things ready to go in around 2 hours!
Although exciting, fun and enjoyable this afternoon was stressful and tiring and looking back on it, I would have preferred to just overseen rather than coordinate the set up, but there you go, it is what it is!
I must say that I was able to put my controlling side to rest, as everything was ready, I had explained where I wanted each item to my sister and assistant and I knew that very little could go wrong!!! Alternatively I am certain that I would have been there in the morning of my wedding with the rollers in my hair!
Of course I must admitt that had I had more energy that evening or attended on the day, I would have changed a little of the layout of the furniture, but all in all I was extremely happy with the outcome and can actually say I was proud of it!
