79.____The Wedding

The wedding was brilliant, the bride looked stunning, it was a real family affair, with lots of The Boyfriends family making the journey to Weston. N had chosen a large meringue style dress with layers of voile for the skirt, with the bodice being a corset with beautiful embroidery.

The theme was fuchsia, which looked amazing, the picture below is of the flowers from the top table which were magnificent. 

Part of the decorations was a giant balloon arch, a specific choice of the bride, The Boyfriend and his brother were asked to pick it up which was hilarious, at first glance we thought it was a small single row tied onto a string arch. It wasn't, it was huge! Seeing the boys carry it through Weston's high street was wonderful, we got up extra early to go and see them instead of getting ready! Here it is, with the beautiful wedding cake, all in all it looked gorgeous.

The bride and groom's daughter M, who is 18months old was a bridesmade, she was lovely, here is a picture of her. The dress was amazing, it had fuchsia flowers sown into it. She was adorable, wandering around, winning everybody over.

 

We had a fabulous time, and the best part was that we stayed in the hotel so only had to walk upstairs afterwards. The morning after, slightly hung over, waking up to this view, we had an amazing carvery, brilliant to soak up the alcohol!

78.___The Royal Hotel, Weston-Super-Mare

I've been a busy girl this week - sorry for not being around. Last weekend was The Boyfriend's cousin, Naomi's wedding, in Weston-Super-Mare - which I'll tell you more about later, we went down for 3 nights, here is the hotel which we stayed in.

The hotel is great, right on the sea front, with rooms which can only be described as quaint. We ate in both the bar, the wedding party, breakfast and the carvery, all of which were lovely, although I do have to say that the carvery is the best one that I've tasted in a while. There was a choice of Beef, Gammon and Turkey with all the trimmings, needless to say that all of the men in the party, including The Boyfriend had a brilliant time piling their plates high, and there wasn't a single thing left.

There is wi-fi throughout the hotel, including all of the public areas with Sky TV (which the boys appreciated! The cricket was on!)

The pictures below are of our bedroom, it was lovely, the decoration was not my cup of tea but it was extremely comfortable and very clean. The only thing that was slightly bizarre was that as soon as you walked in the door there was 3 steps which lead to what you can see in the picture below.

This is the bathroom, which as a complete contrast to the bedroom was very modern, white and clean. The shower was great, very powerful and hot.

The toiletries in the room were lovely, and very well displayed, I have a thing about hotel toiletries and I also have an unfortunate habit of bringing them home with me!

The best thing about the room was the artwork on the wall, it was all of local scenes - some of them historic but local nonetheless.
