Lifestyle: Family Wedding - Being a Bridesmaid at The Merchant Adventurerers' Hall in York

For those of you that follow my various social networks you will know that these past two weeks have been very hectic for me. I have been in the process of my very first move with my other half. I also had my cousins wedding on the 6th where I was acting as bridesmaid! Her wedding was up in York at The Merchant Adventurers' Hall. Myself, my mum, dad and Gaz left at Half 5 in the morning to travel up for the big day!

As you can tell myself and Gaz clean up pretty good! This is just after the service. I thought you guys would like a full length photo of our 'outfit of the day' before I begin blabbing! Gaz's suit is from Next whilst my bridesmaid dress is from Debenhams.

This was a little photo Gaz took whilst we were waiting to head to the venue. I was less than amused, as you can probably tell by the photo, as he randomly took this when I looked up! No time to pose!

Bridesmaid - Walking down the isle

Here is me nervously walking down the isle. This makes me really exited for my own wedding! It's been a while since I was a bridesmaid so I forgot the exiting feeling of walking down the isle! Next time I will be walking down one it will be to Gaz to be getting married myself!

The day was truly wonderful. It was really nice for Gaz to meet my extended family and also really nice for the two of us to dress up for the day!

As you can tell we are both masters at taking silly faced selfies!

Colourful corsage

When I got home I took this beautiful photo of the corsage that my cousin, Leanne, had made for all three bridesmaids. The combination of bright flowers is absolutely gorgeous and yet they are all real flowers!

But to end the post here is a more flattering selfie of the pair of us! The day was wonderful and attending a wedding really highlighted to me the importance of marriage, love and having that person for you that you can rely on. Gaz is truly my rock and I don't know what I would do without me. He did my proud helping out so much on the day too! The wedding has also inspired me to beginning planning my own once our house is fully settled!

  1. Looks like a beautiful wedding, the venue looks so cute and intimate. Your bridesmaid dress is lovely as well, glad to hear you had a good day. I've only ever been a bridesmaid once in my life when I was about 6 years old, so can't say I really remember it much!!
