As I listened, Caroline, the one constant in your story was the smile I saw on your face as you recalled your wedding(s). You're an easy person to appreciate.
Loved your story and I love your vintage engagement ring ❤️ Both my husband and I had been married before. So after 14 years together I told him I was ready to get married to him. We went to the judge in blue jeans and boots (being from Texas) & that was it. 27 years together now. I have a 1930's 3 diamonds set in platinum wedding ring and wouldn't trade it for the world.
This comment comes so long after your initial post that I am not sure you will ever see it but I got a bit of a chuckle out of your admission that the whole getting married thing was sort of your idea. Mine too. Con and I had been dating for about two years and one day I just said to him, “So, when are we going to get married?” He sort of gulped and said, “Well, when do you want to get married?” And that was that. We had been married for about 12 years and one day I said to my husband, “You know, you never did ask me to marry you.” He immediately got down on one knee and took my hand and said, “Darlin’….” and I stopped him and said, “Are you sure you want to ask me now? What if I say, ‘no”? Of course I was not about to say no. We were married for not quite 31 years when he died almost 11 years ago. My engagement ring was also “second hand”. It was my older sister’s original ring and her husband had purchased her a bigger ring so she retired her original ring which I thought was prettier than the bigger and more expensive one her husband got her later. When she heard that we were getting married she gave me the engagement ring and my wedding band was a guard ring that my sister’s engagement ring fit into perfectly. I loved it because since it was not really a set no one else in the world had a set exactly like mine. My only regret about my marriage to my husband is that we didn’t meet and get married when we were much younger. I was 30 and he was 40 when we got married. I only stumbled onto your channel yesterday and am going back finding your previous videos so I can watch them. I enjoy seeing fashions for the over 50 crowd. So many TH-camrs who do hauls and try-ons are so young that I have socks older than they are and the things that they love are not really things that I can identify with but when I watched you trying on clothes in the video I saw yesterday I knew that many of the items that you ended up keeping were absolutely things that I would wear also. I’m so glad I found your channel and I am delighted with your “story time” in this video.
I really enjoyed sitting, relaxing on Sunday 30th August 2020 (2 years late) and enjoying listening about your wedding, I wish you had put more photos up xxx 👍🏻
Totally agree with you on second hand jewellery i would like to point out to anyone that turns there nose up that all gold is over 4 billion years old and diamonds over a billion so the only difference is the smooth shiny finish that you can get with brand new however a jeweller will polish any marks out anyway. second hand gold\diamonds is the real value of the item as new items are second hand anyway the moment you wear them.
Hi Caroline. I love reading/hearing other peoples Wedding stories too. My wedding was back in June 1983. We got engaged in February that year after meeting 3 months previously, and had a big party to celebrate around the time of my birthday in April. We then decided we were going to get married in the Register Office on 3 September, and also booked our honeymoon in France to start the day after. What we didnt realise was that you had to give plenty of notice to the Registrar if you wanted to get married on a Saturday. So my hubby to be went off to book that date, only to be told that there was no slot available. In despair he asked if there were any cancellations and the Registrar offered him 25th June instead, which he took. That means I only had about 7 weeks or so to plan and do everything. Luckily we got organised in the end it all went off very well. The only thing we couldnt change was the honeymoon booking, so we ended up just having a few days in London and then back to work for a couple of months until we could have our proper honeymoon. Here we are almost 36 years later and still happily plodding on, with two children and two grandchildren having joined us along the way. Oh and my name is also Caroline by the way. ;)
I first saw my hubby when I was 14 and nudged my friend and said ' one day I'm going to marry him!' I was 18 when we married and that was in 1978. Traditional white church wedding, and it was in those days when you moved into your new home on the night of the wedding and my dad didn't want me to go. Only time I ever saw him with tears in his eyes bless him. Anyway, must have been right as we've just had our 39th anniversary. Big medals for us. LOL
Really enjoyed seeing and hearing all about your wedding(s) Carolyn. Just lovely. I got engaged the night of my parents 25th silver wedding anniversary party. Our wedding the following August was the hottest day of the year. We were married just short of 43years when my husband passed.
I married at the Las Vegas Marriage Bureau, wore an everyday dress, no guests or party. Your dress is beautiful and I think timeless! Glad u have such sweet memories.
I was married twice on the same day,! Registry office and the registrar made a mistake over something (can't remember what now, 49yrs 19th of this month) So we had to start again! 11 people at mine and that was 9 too many. The brim of my hat shook so much! Thank you for sharing your moments with us. X
Finally had a moment to watch your vlog about your wedding days and really enjoyed it. A friend of mine had a similar situation although she didn't find out about the need for a civil ceremony until the morning of the big wedding when her fiance showed up at her house with a judge in tow to tell her that they needed to get the civil ceremony out of the way immediately. She ended up getting married the first time in her pajamas and then went on to get dressed for the main event. How crazy is that? We got married in a civil ceremony by the Governor and then had our reception the following evening at a friend's house, an outdoor event. It turned a bit breezy and the flame from the burner under one of the chafing dishes set fire to the tablecloth! Fortunately it was put out quickly without too much damage. We set aside the top layer of our wedding cake to save and when we went back to our friend's the next day to pick it up, the same breeze had blown all kinds of dirt and bits of grass and there were several bugs who met their death in the frosting. There was no saving it, into the bin it went.
I was visiting Bournemouth in 1965 visiting my aunt and I thought it was beautiful. Thank you for suggestions. I am looking into them. I live in Raleigh, NC, now and I am 73 years old. I think you are a charming lady.
I loved hearing your wedding story Caroline. We got married in June too and it was such a hot day that the tiers on the wedding cake started to collapse ! Luckily the photographer had taken shots of us pretending to cut the cake before the meal started so the cake looked ok in the photo.
I loved hearing your wedding story Caroline. We got married in a registry office, right in the middle of a market place, it was not a very nice day as it was February and if I remember right it had been raining, there was no garden to the office and we just stood on the pavement with the shoppers watching and had a few photos taken, not very romantic at all but we are still together and in February next year it will be 54 years. Oh my goodness, now I’ve said that it really is a blooming long time isn’t it. Loved your dress, it still doesn’t look dated does it, absolutely beautiful.x
My funny... everyone had left for the church except my dad and I. I really needed to pee and told my dad who me to "well go then". I pointed to my dress (1987 think lady Diana poofy) and told him he had to hold my dress while I went to the loo. My dad burst out laughing saying "the last time I took you to the toilet, you were 3. I didn't think at 20 I would be taking you again". My dad passed away 6 years later but he did get to see my 2 boys before he passed.
Nice video Caroline, I’m not 100% but I think the Library do the changing of videos onto a dvd , if they don’t they might be able to put you in touch with someone who does.
Just recently started following you - enjoying it ! Our wedding. Well it was quite different! May 24, 1971 my girl friend set me up with a blind date. We hit it off. He had 3 sons from his first marriage and had custody of them. I had already signed up to go on a European tour to gain college credits. (I'm in the USA). I was so homesick for him that I cried from Boston to Amsterdam! I ended up leaving the tour early and came home and we married on July 24, 1971!!! Yes, only 2 months after meeting! We had 2 witnesses. There was no music or wedding march - my mom was the church organist and didn't want to work at the wedding. I believe we had 10 people at the wedding, and afterwards went to my parents house across the street and had chicken from a local restaurant and my grandmother baked an angelfood cake! Then we packed up the kids and went home! Recipe for disaster, right? Well in July we'll have been married 51 years! (and they said it wouldn't last!)
Enjoyed this video Caroline. I got married thirty five years ago but nothing out of the ordinary happened. I do remember I got food poisoning on our honeymoon in Portugal though! (Love your bedroom wallpaper, it looks like an Orly Kiely design). It’s a shame you’re unable to wear your wedding ring anymore, you could always take it to a jewellers to get it altered.
What a fun video!! Thank you for sharing your special days with us I also have second hand engagement and wedding rings, they are still lovely I was married in 1993, we had a tiny wedding,just 40 people. My wedding dress was actually a mother of the bride dress I found on sale, and fell in live with. It was an ivory brocade suit in the 1950s style. I wore a pill box hat, and felt amazing ⭐️ Love to reminisce
As I had previously been married ( way too young and a huge mistake ! ) for my second wedding , back in the early 80s, divorcees couldn’t get married in church. So we had a registry office ceremony. Then we had a church blessing and for some odd reason, we were given a bible..! We had a beautiful day, very hot and sunny for April and we were able to eat outside . ( the chef who got married the following Saturday had thunder, rain and high winds ! ) Just as the best man was making his speech, overhead quite by coincidence , a fleet of aeroplanes flew over in a V formation. Quick as a flash, he looked at his watch and said great,they were on time ! All I have now is happy memories , as sadly I was widowed by suicide, coming up 6 years ago. But it was an amazing, joyous day..😊
Ken would walk the girl who would be his first wife to Algebra class we shared. That marriage lasted 4 montha. 5 years later we met and talked for the first time. We dated 5 weeks got engaged, almost a year later got married. in June we will be married for 40 years. At our wedding reception Don Knotts and Tim Conway stopped by as they were staying in the hotel where they were filming a movie in town. Love your storytimes.
I've been catching up on several of your videos. I love this one! I didn't realize England had been so restricted on where you could wed. My husband & I were married in my grandmother's home, in front of the fireplace. We had a very small wedding, as we paid & did everything ourselves & being 19 & 20, finances were tight. We will celebrate our 48th anniversary on August 2nd, 2023. My wedding grown was a long cream colored linen dress and I worn a big floppy hat instead of a veil. My dress was very boho/flower child in style, lol. My grandmother was so upset that it wasn't white silk & lace, lol. I wonder if young people today really have the fun of planning & doing their own wedding like we did. It seems everyone has to have a big wedding planner & a giant party.
Love hearing your wedding story 😊 My husband and I were married twice as well. Once for our official wedding - an outdoor wedding in 2002 and reception and the second time was a very small ceremony with immediate family on Valentine's Day 2008 in our church. Strange I know but we felt a calling (for lack of a better word) to be married in our church as time went on. 💕
Aww, such a lovely story :) We got married in 1988 (I think) in the Bournemouth Spiritualist church at the Lansdowne in Bournemouth. When we went to hear the Banns read they had this Medium passing on messages from the other side. He was really tall, extremely skinny and looked like Larry Grayson. He would stalk quickly up and down the aisle and then spin round dramatically and point at someone and shout 'YOU!" when he got a message. Scott and I spent the whole time worried he was going to point at us as it was so startling and trying not to giggle at the drama of it all :D We only had an evening reception, and as we wanted it to be more like a party we did fancy dress. As I was much skinnier then I went as a showgirl (!) and Scott was Robin Hood. I caught him trying to put his tights on over the top of his socks :D
I got married in 1978 at 16 to hubby who was 18 in registry office with just immediate family and back to mums house for dinner. It was nice and sunny day and I wore a lovely white cotton sundress with a white hat and husband had a black velvet jacket We were so nervous would never have coped with the big wedding which my daughter had we celebrate 42 years this year in July I got new ring on 40 anniversary as I too had put on weight and it no longer fitted 💍👰🏻 loved hearing your story and reading the comments 🌺
Thanks I loved your storytime! When I look back at my wedding it is funny. We had no money so I wore a pale pink off the rack kind of short babydoll outfit, we were married by the local "free love" minister, and served the guests Kentucky Fried chicken....don't know if this was funny, sweet, or laughable...anyway it was about 1969!
New to your channel & enjoyed watching & listening to your wedding story very much. Our funny story happened on a mini break in NY, as I'd never been and had always wanted to go so much. He grew up there, so quite a big trip for us. We were sitting on a bench in Central Park, quite hidden away. He'd just started to ask me to marry him when out of nowhere an elderly couple turned up and promptly plonked themselves on the same bench - they had no idea, but their timing was just hysterical! We had to stumble away, killing ourselves laughing. I honestly was really happy as it was, but he surprised me a few days later by asking again and succeeding, this time at Brooklyn Park - so for us it wasn't twice wedded, but twice proposal in a week! :D xx
Your first wedding was like our actual wedding. Plymouth registry office is on Plymouth Hoe, we then had our photos taken at the top of Smeaton’s Tower on the Hoe. We then went for lunch is a restaurant, just us and two friends. We got married in jeans then went off on the Brittany ferry to France on honeymoon for a short break. It was perfect for us. Thanks for sharing your story.
I was like you I was disappointed in my flowers I wanted a bouquet the same as my mums she had white camellias in hers but the florist told me I couldn’t have them looking back now I wish I’d stamped my feet and made her get them for me. Loved this. 🥰
My brother got married at Rhinefield Hall stunning venue! I also was disappointed with my bouquet I had Calla lilies that were supposed to be cream but were a bit too yellow in reality. We had a reminisce at the end of July on our anniversary and looked through our wedding album. Happy Memories xxx
What a cool story! Great pix of you and Ash!!! Similar with myself and Nigel - we got married at a pagan handfasting in 2003 which was for me the real deal and then married 'legally' in 2005 - I tell him he is so good I married him twice!!
Amazing how many people in the comments got married to the same person twice. Was your dress black and red, Heather? I have a picture of you in my head in those colours for some reason
We started going to France in 1987 and were were very puzzled by the 'Wedding traffic' on Friday/Saturday. In fact the only Licenced venue for all weddings is the local Mairie. Then, many couples go for the optional religious service after. So, towns big enough to both have wedding cars dashing from place to place garlanded & with horns honking.. See, you had French 'chic ' ahead of your time!
I have been married for 52 years and still have my wedding dress, veil, headdress, shoes, evening and going away outfit. I was surprised to see how short the evening and going away outfits were. Although both my daughters are petite none of these fit them, I was really tiny then - think Twiggy. When you showed the picture of you both cutting the cake, I couldn't help noticing how alike Ashley and William are.
They are like peas in a pod, you're right. People used to stop us in the street when Will was a toddler to comment on the resemblance between him and his Dad!
Thanks for this really enjoyed it, My wedding was June 94 and I forgot my bouquet, it got left in the fridge and a friend popped back and got it just in time for photos (it wasn't what I had envisioned either!) Jo 😀
Thanks for sharing your beautiful day with us ..the one thing that happened at mine was the hotel some how forgot there was a wedding party (small hotel ) and the staff were all playing a tennis tournament so had to serve in tennis outfits needless to say I recieved a £100 voucher to compensate xxx
When we got married 37 years ago while having my hair done at him the vicar rang both be and my hubby up to see if we were still getting married , because he has got to get the paper work done xxx
I enjoyed your wedding story, lovely that you have so many things from the day. My mum was friendly with a policeman as she worked in the club bar and got to know him. She phoned me at home one day & put him on the line as he wanted someone to go to a Christmas party with him. I was a policewoman at a different station, couldn't go to the party but he then called me a few days later - think it was Boxing Day & it had actually been snowing, he rode his motorcycle miles in the snow to visit me. We went for a walk in the snow & fell in love. He proposed within 2 weeks and we married in 1979 in December almost a year later - no snow that time!
Lovely to hear about your two weddings to Ashley. My husband is like Ashley not religious at all, therefore we had a Registry Office Wedding.My Best Friend at the time got married the day before us, so we were at two weddings in 2 days 😂😂.
I really enjoyed watching this vlog..I got married in Rome on the 21st of May '84..I'm really OLD 😂😂..You come across as posh but you're so witty & funny..I do enjoy all your content...I can see how you & Carla get along..Some craic as we'd say here in Ireland 💞xx
Really enjoyed this Caroline on my wedding day it was 17 June 2006 and was very very hot and my hubby had a water infection so was in a lot of pain all day 😍 we had a big party on our fifth wedding anniversary to make up for it and that was fantastic . Thank you for sharing 🥂
Awww, glad you got a day to remember in the end. Must be so awful to be ill on your wedding day and nothing you can do about it, all booked so far in advance these days. A lady I watch on TH-cam, Mrs Ginger, her husband was also ill on their wedding day, had only been released from hospital the day before, I think. :
Caroline, thanks for sharing your special day. We married in 1982. The whole wedding cost around £1000. It was 12th June, so figured the weather would be good. NO! There was the most spectacular thunderstorm, and as my husband Richard said I do, there was a massive thunder clap. The vicar looked over his glasses and said, that’s not a very good omen is it!!. He was actually on the front of the old Sunday paper, News of the World, as he agreed to do a wedding blessing for a lesbian couple. Shock Horror in those days!! Still happily married after 38 years. Regards Lesley
Hi I got married in 1977, money was tight as my parents gave us money for a deposit on a house instead of having a big reception. My mum made my dress from a Vogue pattern and we held the reception in the local church hall, we did all the catering ourselves, my dad baked and iced the cake. Funny thing was my mum made trifle and forgot to take it out of the freezer! So everyone had frozen jelly etc. I was married for 25yrs then divorced. We had two children, girl and boy. I'm now with my long term partner but won't marry again.
A bit late but I’ve just watched your wedding post. Enjoyed every minute if it, very advanced to have the two ceremonies. My wedding, my dress was a cotton lawn off the peg Victorian style. 9 guineas! My stuck up in laws said they wouldn’t come then changed their minds - I was too common for them. They were quite horrified to discover the rest of my family were just as common! 😂 I got him though, that was 1968 and still going strong.
Hi Caroline great video I got married in 2005 I had 2 bridesmaids one my school friend who was in denial about her size and we had to squeeze her into her dress and my husbands niece who had lost weight since the fitting and she had to hold the strapless dress up with the tops of her arms oh well they made me look good lol 😆
Lovely share~I always enjoy hearing what stands out for people about their wedding. We were married in a small church on a hill, with about ten people in attendance. We spent our honeymoon in a very remote cabin far, far away from civilization~very romantic spot, less the fact that we forgot the groceries for an entire weeks stay! We had our wedding cake (a large cheesecake), a bottle of champagne and various remnants left behind by previous visitors; a couple of boxed pastas, powdered milk, some oats, lots of canned vegetables, one can chili, some canned fish and a box of crackers. Somehow we did just fine and I actually managed to put together some decents meals~I dare consider how old some of that food may have been! Yet here we are, none the worse for wear=) My husband loves to tell people how I made 4 course meals out of thin air~hardly! He's a keeper, all the same=)
I got married in Vegas. I was 16. I wore a suit . Only my mom and her friend were there. I had always wanted a beautiful wedding dress. When I was a little girl, I would put a sheer curtain my mom would throw away if it was falling apart, on my head as a veil. I never got that and made sure my daughters had their wedding dresses.
Really enjoyed your wedding story Caroline! We have something in common, I married my husband twice also. We were married in 1991 and six years later were having some issues (mostly just being young and dumb and not knowing how to communicate) and we decided to get a divorce. It lasted 10 month. I guess it was more like a very expensive separation. Anyway we decided we still loved each other and the following year we got remarried. That was 18 years ago and still going strong. Honestly we are happier now than we have ever been.
My dad had mistakenly booked my wedding cars for the 20th November A bit unfortunate as I was getting married in October I ended up in a dirty Hackney cab with bouquet held a loft bridesmaid on knee and a sobbing dad x
On my wedding we went to a hotel stay after and we had a jacuzzi bath never used one before and we put bubble bath in and you can imagine what happened lol was very embarrassing
Thank you for replying to me. I forgot to tell you that I liked your telling your husband Ashley I’d like quite to get married. It worked for you, Caroline. Nor women should do that. I did have a boyfriend from Iran that I dated for 4 years and told him that we should get married. I am so glad that he said No as he was not the right man and I would have been miserable if I did marry him. God always helps in circumstances like that. I am glad that you married a good man. He seems nice and you are blessed. I like your beautiful house. I enjoyed the tour.
Hi Caroline This video just popped up How interesting it was You looked lovely I thought I’d tell you why we got married it was 1972 I was paying my mum £2 per week And Dave was giving his mum £5 per week We could get a brand new house for £4 per week so we thought we’d get married That was 50 years on 5th August 2022 Who’d have thought There’s been loads of water under the bridge as you can imagine Hope that give you a chuckle Take care xx
What a lovely wedding story! Will looks so much like Ashley, seeing Ashley as a younger man. Your dress was gorgeous! Interestingly enough, Bryant & I came all the way to the UK to get married in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull in Scotland in 1999. We had been exploring our "roots"/genealogy, found that his family came from Mull and my Mom's family from other parts of Scotland. We took 5 weeks and rented a car, drove all over England & Scotland (I drove the entire 2600 miles), rented Bryant a McLean tartan kilt, had a piper and were married at the registry office, part of the ceremony in Gaelic. It was our second marriage (for both of us) so we wanted to do something different and travel, as well. The officiant met with us the day before and asked if we fought much (which I thought was a very odd thing to ask!) and I said, sometimes we do, but we just blow up & (as you mentioned) get things off our chest & move on. He threw back his head and laughed & said "Aye, yer both Scots in the blood!" (we're both alpha types, I think). It was a fabulous experience - thanks for sharing yours ~
Oh thank you for sharing your wedding story, Heather - and what an amazing way to get married. Sounds like a fantastic trip, and definitely a day to remember :)
What a great story. I loved walking down memory lane with you. You looked so beauitful as a bride. Ashley was so handsome. The two of you are quite cute together. I have never been married. I always said that i'm not the marrying kind. I have been to my fair share of them though. You know something you gave very kind eyes. I am enjoying all of your videos too.
After I finished my nurses training my friend and I went to work at Butlins Barry Island when we arrived and we’re getting signed in I looked across the room and saw a tall good looking lad I said to my friend Oh he’s nice guess what I married him and it’s our 50th wedding anniversary next year we have two children and 4 grand children we’ve live in South Africa and been all over the world and remain very happy and healthy he’s English I’m Scottish and met in Cardiff hows about that then 😂😂
Loved your storytime! Here's mine: A guy broke my heart in Africa so I ran away to Australia in 1974. I also married my first husband twice. The first time (1975) in the Perth (Western Australia) Registry Office at lunchtime on Valentine's Day - 3 weeks after we'd met. Our guests were my brother & his wife, his brother & girlfriend and his mum, my parents were still in Africa. One year later, my parents came to visit and we re-affirmed our vows in a pretty church in Kalamunda, so Dad could walk me down the aisle. Mum was happy even though it wasn't the big white wedding she dreamed of, surrounded by family and friends in Africa. The small celebration in our newly built house with 40+ people was casual although how I managed to also cater for it, I still don't know! Unfortunately 10 years and two beautiful children later, I found him 'in the middle of' with the girlfriend I didn't know he had! 17 (intentionally single) years later the man who broke my heart in Africa found my name on the net and whisked me away to Ireland for 14 months of courtship. We came back to Oz and married at Hillarys Boat Harbour with the sun setting over the sea followed by a 'session' in the Yacht Club with a live band totally reminiscent of our original meeting when he played in a band. He actually surprised everyone by playing his guitar in a couple of old songs while 80+ of our families and friends (and I) rock and rolled! That was 2003 and it seems like 5 minutes ago.
Your dress was lovely and you looked beautiful. My wedding the beautiful car arrived and my father and I were ready to depart for the short journey to our local chapel. Then my father a very practical man realised it was bin day he.told the driver. of the bridal car to wait and proceeded to put out the bin.He in his new suit and me in my white bridal dress and veil .🤣😅😁
What a LOVELY story Caroline I loved your dress I met my husband on my 17th birthday at a "disco" He's 6ft 5" ....I'm 5ft 3" so l constantly talk to his chest 😁 We got engaged the following year & we've been married for 39 years this October. I could write a book & make a film about the run up to.our vwedding day, but we've made it through, it was a bitterly cold October day, blowing a gale, but thankfully it didn't rain. A lot of my wedding day was ruled by tradition & relatives that sulked otherwise ... but l went along with it & it was a lovely day & the evening reception was even better because l could finally relax & all our friends arrived - the older relatives went home & let us get on with the noisy dancing 😁
I am a newcomer to your channel, just came from one of your shopping haul videos, and saw this on the side, so had to look. I loved this video, and think that although it's not the traditional "wedding picture" one the best photo is of you and Ashley cutting your wedding cake. It's the close-up that shows not only the details of your dress and headband, Ashley's waistcoat and tie, and flowers and gorgeous cake, but every one of those components comes together to form the loveliest and perfectly composed image. And the picture looks like it was taken yesterday! Congratulations on your obviously very successul marriage, and best wishes for many more years together!
Hi Caroline, you looked gorgeous on your wedding day and I can’t believe how much Will looks like Ashley in your photo’s p.s I hope you Ashley & Will had a lovely Christmas ,I miss seeing your wee face and your video’s huni 😔💐❤️
Oh my goodness. I got married in July 96 and my proposal was almost identical to yours ha ha. Not only that, we have almost identical rings and I had a straight dress with a flower headband too. I only had one though lol

As I listened, Caroline, the one constant in your story was the smile I saw on your face as you recalled your wedding(s). You're an easy person to appreciate.
Thank you so much!
You look so happy and full of joy talking about your weddings x
Loved your story and I love your vintage engagement ring ❤️ Both my husband and I had been married before. So after 14 years together I told him I was ready to get married to him. We went to the judge in blue jeans and boots (being from Texas) & that was it. 27 years together now. I have a 1930's 3 diamonds set in platinum wedding ring and wouldn't trade it for the world.
Hi Caroline, loved the idea of your two weddings, and really enjoyed hearing your story, and lovely photo's too..tfs your special day😊 xx
This comment comes so long after your initial post that I am not sure you will ever see it but I got a bit of a chuckle out of your admission that the whole getting married thing was sort of your idea. Mine too. Con and I had been dating for about two years and one day I just said to him, “So, when are we going to get married?”
He sort of gulped and said, “Well, when do you want to get married?” And that was that. We had been married for about 12 years and one day I said to my husband, “You know, you never did ask me to marry you.” He immediately got down on one knee and took my hand and said, “Darlin’….” and I stopped him and said, “Are you sure you want to ask me now? What if I say, ‘no”? Of course I was not about to say no. We were married for not quite 31 years when he died almost 11 years ago.
My engagement ring was also “second hand”. It was my older sister’s original ring and her husband had purchased her a bigger ring so she retired her original ring which I thought was prettier than the bigger and more expensive one her husband got her later. When she heard that we were getting married she gave me the engagement ring and my wedding band was a guard ring that my sister’s engagement ring fit into perfectly. I loved it because since it was not really a set no one else in the world had a set exactly like mine. My only regret about my marriage to my husband is that we didn’t meet and get married when we were much younger. I was 30 and he was 40 when we got married.
I only stumbled onto your channel yesterday and am going back finding your
previous videos so I can watch them. I enjoy seeing fashions for the over 50 crowd. So many TH-camrs who do hauls and try-ons are so young that I have socks older than they are and the things that they love are not really things that I can identify with but when I watched you trying on clothes in the video I saw yesterday I knew that many of the items that you ended up keeping were absolutely things that I would wear also. I’m so glad I found your channel and I am delighted with your “story time” in this video.
@@maryannanderson7517 Awwww what a lovely story 🙏
I really enjoyed sitting, relaxing on Sunday 30th August 2020 (2 years late) and enjoying listening about your wedding, I wish you had put more photos up xxx 👍🏻
Love it when you said about your brothers engagement, then said “I haven’t got a story like that” 🙂
Totally agree with you on second hand jewellery i would like to point out to anyone that turns there nose up that all gold is over 4 billion years old and diamonds over a billion so the only difference is the smooth shiny finish that you can get with brand new however a jeweller will polish any marks out anyway. second hand gold\diamonds is the real value of the item as new items are second hand anyway the moment you wear them.
True, that :)
Hi Caroline. I love reading/hearing other peoples Wedding stories too. My wedding was back in June 1983. We got engaged in February that year after meeting 3 months previously, and had a big party to celebrate around the time of my birthday in April. We then decided we were going to get married in the Register Office on 3 September, and also booked our honeymoon in France to start the day after. What we didnt realise was that you had to give plenty of notice to the Registrar if you wanted to get married on a Saturday. So my hubby to be went off to book that date, only to be told that there was no slot available. In despair he asked if there were any cancellations and the Registrar offered him 25th June instead, which he took. That means I only had about 7 weeks or so to plan and do everything. Luckily we got organised in the end it all went off very well. The only thing we couldnt change was the honeymoon booking, so we ended up just having a few days in London and then back to work for a couple of months until we could have our proper honeymoon. Here we are almost 36 years later and still happily plodding on, with two children and two grandchildren having joined us along the way. Oh and my name is also Caroline by the way. ;)
Lovely to hear your story, thank you for sharing it, and always nice to meet another Caroline :)
I first saw my hubby when I was 14 and nudged my friend and said ' one day I'm going to marry him!' I was 18 when we married and that was in 1978. Traditional white church wedding, and it was in those days when you moved into your new home on the night of the wedding and my dad didn't want me to go. Only time I ever saw him with tears in his eyes bless him. Anyway, must have been right as we've just had our 39th anniversary. Big medals for us. LOL
Wow, congrats on 39 years, Sue - that is an amazing achievement. Lovely that you knew as soon as you saw him, too - so romantic :)
Really enjoyed seeing and hearing all about your wedding(s) Carolyn. Just lovely. I got engaged the night of my parents 25th silver wedding anniversary party. Our wedding the following August was the hottest day of the year. We were married just short of 43years when my husband passed.
I married at the Las Vegas Marriage Bureau, wore an everyday dress, no guests or party. Your dress is beautiful and I think timeless! Glad u have such sweet memories.
I was married twice on the same day,! Registry office and the registrar made a mistake over something (can't remember what now, 49yrs 19th of this month) So we had to start again! 11 people at mine and that was 9 too many. The brim of my hat shook so much!
Thank you for sharing your moments with us. X
Finally had a moment to watch your vlog about your wedding days and really enjoyed it. A friend of mine had a similar situation although she didn't find out about the need for a civil ceremony until the morning of the big wedding when her fiance showed up at her house with a judge in tow to tell her that they needed to get the civil ceremony out of the way immediately. She ended up getting married the first time in her pajamas and then went on to get dressed for the main event. How crazy is that?
We got married in a civil ceremony by the Governor and then had our reception the following evening at a friend's house, an outdoor event. It turned a bit breezy and the flame from the burner under one of the chafing dishes set fire to the tablecloth! Fortunately it was put out quickly without too much damage. We set aside the top layer of our wedding cake to save and when we went back to our friend's the next day to pick it up, the same breeze had blown all kinds of dirt and bits of grass and there were several bugs who met their death in the frosting. There was no saving it, into the bin it went.
Ohhhh such a shame about your wedding cake, and loved the story about your friend getting married in her PJs!!
I was visiting Bournemouth in 1965 visiting my aunt and I thought it was beautiful. Thank you for suggestions. I am looking into them. I live in Raleigh, NC, now and I am 73 years old. I think you are a charming lady.
Hello Edna, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Lovely to 'meet' you.
I loved hearing your wedding story Caroline. We got married in June too and it was such a hot day that the tiers on the wedding cake started to collapse ! Luckily the photographer had taken shots of us pretending to cut the cake before the meal started so the cake looked ok in the photo.
Haha, that could have been a disaster!! I'm sure it still tasted good though!
I loved hearing your wedding story Caroline. We got married in a registry office, right in the middle of a market place, it was not a very nice day as it was February and if I remember right it had been raining, there was no garden to the office and we just stood on the pavement with the shoppers watching and had a few photos taken, not very romantic at all but we are still together and in February next year it will be 54 years. Oh my goodness, now I’ve said that it really is a blooming long time isn’t it. Loved your dress, it still doesn’t look dated does it, absolutely beautiful.x
wow, 54 years is amazing, congrats!
My funny... everyone had left for the church except my dad and I. I really needed to pee and told my dad who me to "well go then". I pointed to my dress (1987 think lady Diana poofy) and told him he had to hold my dress while I went to the loo. My dad burst out laughing saying "the last time I took you to the toilet, you were 3. I didn't think at 20 I would be taking you again". My dad passed away 6 years later but he did get to see my 2 boys before he passed.
Nice video Caroline, I’m not 100% but I think the Library do the changing of videos onto a dvd , if they don’t they might be able to put you in touch with someone who does.
We got married in Somerset in 1981 and had sun ,rain and a meteorite fell in the churchyard.Loved your vlog.x.
A meteorite?!!! Wow, that's definitely a day to remember!
Just recently started following you - enjoying it ! Our wedding. Well it was quite different! May 24, 1971 my girl friend set me up with a blind date. We hit it off. He had 3 sons from his first marriage and had custody of them. I had already signed up to go on a European tour to gain college credits. (I'm in the USA). I was so homesick for him that I cried from Boston to Amsterdam! I ended up leaving the tour early and came home and we married on July 24, 1971!!! Yes, only 2 months after meeting! We had 2 witnesses. There was no music or wedding march - my mom was the church organist and didn't want to work at the wedding. I believe we had 10 people at the wedding, and afterwards went to my parents house across the street and had chicken from a local restaurant and my grandmother baked an angelfood cake! Then we packed up the kids and went home! Recipe for disaster, right? Well in July we'll have been married 51 years! (and they said it wouldn't last!)
hi Sally, congrats on 51 years, loved reading your story, thank you for sharing. And welcome to my channel, lovely to have you on board!
Enjoyed this video Caroline. I got married thirty five years ago but nothing out of the ordinary happened. I do remember I got food poisoning on our honeymoon in Portugal though! (Love your bedroom wallpaper, it looks like an Orly Kiely design). It’s a shame you’re unable to wear your wedding ring anymore, you could always take it to a jewellers to get it altered.
Oh no, food poisoning on your honeymoon doesn't sound good. Hope it didn't last too long :)
What a fun video!! Thank you for sharing your special days with us
I also have second hand engagement and wedding rings, they are still lovely
I was married in 1993, we had a tiny wedding,just 40 people.
My wedding dress was actually a mother of the bride dress I found on sale, and fell in live with. It was an ivory brocade suit in the 1950s style. I wore a pill box hat, and felt amazing ⭐️
Love to reminisce
As I had previously been married ( way too young and a huge mistake ! ) for my second wedding , back in the early 80s, divorcees couldn’t get married in church. So we had a registry office ceremony. Then we had a church blessing and for some odd reason, we were given a bible..! We had a beautiful day, very hot and sunny for April and we were able to eat outside . ( the chef who got married the following Saturday had thunder, rain and high winds ! ) Just as the best man was making his speech, overhead quite by coincidence , a fleet of aeroplanes flew over in a V formation. Quick as a flash, he looked at his watch and said great,they were on time !
All I have now is happy memories , as sadly I was widowed by suicide, coming up 6 years ago. But it was an amazing, joyous day..😊
Ken would walk the girl who would be his first wife to Algebra class we shared. That marriage lasted 4 montha. 5 years later we met and talked for the first time. We dated 5 weeks got engaged, almost a year later got married. in June we will be married for 40 years. At our wedding reception Don Knotts and Tim Conway stopped by as they were staying in the hotel where they were filming a movie in town. Love your storytimes.
wow, engaged after 5 weeks. YOu must have known he was the one! Congrats on 40 years :)
I've been catching up on several of your videos. I love this one! I didn't realize England had been so restricted on where you could wed. My husband & I were married in my grandmother's home, in front of the fireplace. We had a very small wedding, as we paid & did everything ourselves & being 19 & 20, finances were tight. We will celebrate our 48th anniversary on August 2nd, 2023. My wedding grown was a long cream colored linen dress and I worn a big floppy hat instead of a veil. My dress was very boho/flower child in style, lol. My grandmother was so upset that it wasn't white silk & lace, lol. I wonder if young people today really have the fun of planning & doing their own wedding like we did. It seems everyone has to have a big wedding planner & a giant party.
Yes, agree - we'd have laughed if anybody had told us we needed a wedding planner when we got married!
Love hearing your wedding story 😊 My husband and I were married twice as well. Once for our official wedding - an outdoor wedding in 2002 and reception and the second time was a very small ceremony with immediate family on Valentine's Day 2008 in our church. Strange I know but we felt a calling (for lack of a better word) to be married in our church as time went on. 💕
How lovely to hear somebody else marrying twice, Carrie - I think it's lovely that you did it again several years on. :)
Aww, such a lovely story :) We got married in 1988 (I think) in the Bournemouth Spiritualist church at the Lansdowne in Bournemouth. When we went to hear the Banns read they had this Medium passing on messages from the other side. He was really tall, extremely skinny and looked like Larry Grayson. He would stalk quickly up and down the aisle and then spin round dramatically and point at someone and shout 'YOU!" when he got a message. Scott and I spent the whole time worried he was going to point at us as it was so startling and trying not to giggle at the drama of it all :D We only had an evening reception, and as we wanted it to be more like a party we did fancy dress. As I was much skinnier then I went as a showgirl (!) and Scott was Robin Hood. I caught him trying to put his tights on over the top of his socks :D
That sounds like an AMAZING day! I know the church you mean. Love the sound of the medium who looked like Larry Grayson - brilliant!!
I got married in 1978 at 16 to hubby who was 18 in registry office with just immediate family and back to mums house for dinner.
It was nice and sunny day and I wore a lovely white cotton sundress with a white hat and husband had a black velvet jacket We were so nervous would never have coped with the big wedding which my daughter had we celebrate 42 years this year in July I got new ring on 40 anniversary as I too had put on weight and it no longer fitted 💍👰🏻 loved hearing your story and reading the comments 🌺
Thanks for sharing about your wedding, Gina, it sounds just perfect. And congrats on 42 years, hope you have many more happy years together :) x
Thanks I loved your storytime! When I look back at my wedding it is funny. We had no money so I wore a pale pink off the rack kind of short babydoll outfit, we were married by the local "free love" minister, and served the guests Kentucky Fried chicken....don't know if this was funny, sweet, or laughable...anyway it was about 1969!
That's a fabulous story - and sounds like the perfect wedding for the 60s, just perfect! :)
New to your channel & enjoyed watching & listening to your wedding story very much. Our funny story happened on a mini break in NY, as I'd never been and had always wanted to go so much. He grew up there, so quite a big trip for us. We were sitting on a bench in Central Park, quite hidden away. He'd just started to ask me to marry him when out of nowhere an elderly couple turned up and promptly plonked themselves on the same bench - they had no idea, but their timing was just hysterical! We had to stumble away, killing ourselves laughing. I honestly was really happy as it was, but he surprised me a few days later by asking again and succeeding, this time at Brooklyn Park - so for us it wasn't twice wedded, but twice proposal in a week! :D xx
Haha, epic timing by the elderly couple - love it!! x
Your first wedding was like our actual wedding. Plymouth registry office is on Plymouth Hoe, we then had our photos taken at the top of Smeaton’s Tower on the Hoe. We then went for lunch is a restaurant, just us and two friends. We got married in jeans then went off on the Brittany ferry to France on honeymoon for a short break. It was perfect for us. Thanks for sharing your story.
I was like you I was disappointed in my flowers I wanted a bouquet the same as my mums she had white camellias in hers but the florist told me I couldn’t have them looking back now I wish I’d stamped my feet and made her get them for me. Loved this. 🥰
My brother got married at Rhinefield Hall stunning venue! I also was disappointed with my bouquet I had Calla lilies that were supposed to be cream but were a bit too yellow in reality. We had a reminisce at the end of July on our anniversary and looked through our wedding album. Happy Memories xxx
Another brilliant and very entertaining video Caroline. You do cheer me up xx
What a cool story! Great pix of you and Ash!!! Similar with myself and Nigel - we got married at a pagan handfasting in 2003 which was for me the real deal and then married 'legally' in 2005 - I tell him he is so good I married him twice!!
Amazing how many people in the comments got married to the same person twice. Was your dress black and red, Heather? I have a picture of you in my head in those colours for some reason
Caroline (Mrs M) no not black and red! Was white for hf amd pale green for the legal one; mind you i would love red and blacl in any outfit!!
Thankyou caroline i realy injoyed listning to all bout yr wedding you looked stunning xxx
We started going to France in 1987 and were were very puzzled by the 'Wedding traffic' on Friday/Saturday. In fact the only Licenced venue for all weddings is the local Mairie. Then, many couples go for the optional religious service after. So, towns big enough to both have wedding cars dashing from place to place garlanded & with horns honking.. See, you had French 'chic ' ahead of your time!
I have been married for 52 years and still have my wedding dress, veil, headdress, shoes, evening and going away outfit. I was surprised to see how short the evening and going away outfits were. Although both my daughters are petite none of these fit them, I was really tiny then - think Twiggy. When you showed the picture of you both cutting the cake, I couldn't help noticing how alike Ashley and William are.
They are like peas in a pod, you're right. People used to stop us in the street when Will was a toddler to comment on the resemblance between him and his Dad!
Beautiful wedding dress. Stunning venue! It sounds like you had a lovely day despite all the complications of having to do the legal bit first.
It really was, we loved it. Very happy memories :)
My Mum & Dad were married 24th May 1947.
Dad's no longer with us, Mum is 92.
Really enjoyed your story.
Thanks for this really enjoyed it, My wedding was June 94 and I forgot my bouquet, it got left in the fridge and a friend popped back and got it just in time for photos (it wasn't what I had envisioned either!) Jo 😀
Glad you got it back in time for photos, Jo, easily forgotten in the all the hectic preparations of a wedding day! :)
Lovely pictures Caroline.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful day with us ..the one thing that happened at mine was the hotel some how forgot there was a wedding party (small hotel ) and the staff were all playing a tennis tournament so had to serve in tennis outfits needless to say I recieved a £100 voucher to compensate xxx
Haha, that was a fun memory to have. At least they were still around, so you didn't have to serve yourselves, I guess! Glad you got a voucher :)
Dawn Evans Thats kind of cute, and tennis outfits are something very different.
When we got married 37 years ago while having my hair done at him the vicar rang both be and my hubby up to see if we were still getting married , because he has got to get the paper work done xxx
I enjoyed your wedding story, lovely that you have so many things from the day. My mum was friendly with a policeman as she worked in the club bar and got to know him. She phoned me at home one day & put him on the line as he wanted someone to go to a Christmas party with him. I was a policewoman at a different station, couldn't go to the party but he then called me a few days later - think it was Boxing Day & it had actually been snowing, he rode his motorcycle miles in the snow to visit me. We went for a walk in the snow & fell in love. He proposed within 2 weeks and we married in 1979 in December almost a year later - no snow that time!
Awww, what a lovely story, thanks for sharing Lianne :)
Lovely to hear about your two weddings to Ashley. My husband is like Ashley not religious at all, therefore we had a Registry Office Wedding.My Best Friend at the time got married the day before us, so we were at two weddings in 2 days 😂😂.
I really enjoyed watching this vlog..I got married in Rome on the 21st of May '84..I'm really OLD 😂😂..You come across as posh but you're so witty & funny..I do enjoy all your content...I can see how you & Carla get along..Some craic as we'd say here in Ireland 💞xx
Really enjoyed this Caroline on my wedding day it was 17 June 2006 and was very very hot and my hubby had a water infection so was in a lot of pain all day 😍 we had a big party on our fifth wedding anniversary to make up for it and that was fantastic . Thank you for sharing 🥂
Awww, glad you got a day to remember in the end. Must be so awful to be ill on your wedding day and nothing you can do about it, all booked so far in advance these days. A lady I watch on TH-cam, Mrs Ginger, her husband was also ill on their wedding day, had only been released from hospital the day before, I think. :
Loved hearing the story of the weddings. We didn’t have a proposal either, we wanted to buy a block of land so thought we should get engaged.
What a lovely story and love your wallpaper x
Only just watched this.... FAB my mother in law dressed up as Tina Turner at my wedding and sang The Best lol x
Amazing!
Caroline, thanks for sharing your special day. We married in 1982. The whole wedding cost around £1000. It was 12th June, so figured the weather would be good. NO! There was the most spectacular thunderstorm, and as my husband Richard said I do, there was a massive thunder clap. The vicar looked over his glasses and said, that’s not a very good omen is it!!. He was actually on the front of the old Sunday paper, News of the World, as he agreed to do a wedding blessing for a lesbian couple. Shock Horror in those days!! Still happily married after 38 years. Regards Lesley
Hi Lesley, lovely to hear a bit about your wedding, and the vicar's comment made me giggle! You've proved him wrong though!
Hi I got married in 1977, money was tight as my parents gave us money for a deposit on a house instead of having a big reception. My mum made my dress from a Vogue pattern and we held the reception in the local church hall, we did all the catering ourselves, my dad baked and iced the cake. Funny thing was my mum made trifle and forgot to take it out of the freezer! So everyone had frozen jelly etc. I was married for 25yrs then divorced. We had two children, girl and boy.
I'm now with my long term partner but won't marry again.
A bit late but I’ve just watched your wedding post. Enjoyed every minute if it, very advanced to have the two ceremonies. My wedding, my dress was a cotton lawn off the peg Victorian style. 9 guineas! My stuck up in laws said they wouldn’t come then changed their minds - I was too common for them. They were quite horrified to discover the rest of my family were just as common! 😂 I got him though, that was 1968 and still going strong.
I hope your in laws improved over the years!
Hi Caroline great video I got married in 2005 I had 2 bridesmaids one my school friend who was in denial about her size and we had to squeeze her into her dress and my husbands niece who had lost weight since the fitting and she had to hold the strapless dress up with the tops of her arms oh well they made me look good lol 😆
Haha, love the thought of the two bridesmaids, I'm thinking 'Little & Large'!!
Lovely share~I always enjoy hearing what stands out for people about their wedding. We were married in a small church on a hill, with about ten people in attendance. We spent our honeymoon in a very remote cabin far, far away from civilization~very romantic spot, less the fact that we forgot the groceries for an entire weeks stay! We had our wedding cake (a large cheesecake), a bottle of champagne and various remnants left behind by previous visitors; a couple of boxed pastas, powdered milk, some oats, lots of canned vegetables, one can chili, some canned fish and a box of crackers. Somehow we did just fine and I actually managed to put together some decents meals~I dare consider how old some of that food may have been! Yet here we are, none the worse for wear=) My husband loves to tell people how I made 4 course meals out of thin air~hardly! He's a keeper, all the same=)
Loved that story, just brilliant, thank you. Happy New Year :)
What a story! I love it!
I got married in Vegas. I was 16. I wore a suit . Only my mom and her friend were there. I had always wanted a beautiful wedding dress. When I was a little girl, I would put a sheer curtain my mom would throw away if it was falling apart, on my head as a veil. I never got that and made sure my daughters had their wedding dresses.
Oh my world yr son is spitting image of ASHLY WHEN ASHLY WAS YOUNG XXX
Wow! My maiden name is Mathews..grew up always saying “Mathews, with one T”. 😊 Hello from California, USA!
Really enjoyed your wedding story Caroline! We have something in common, I married my husband twice also. We were married in 1991 and six years later were having some issues (mostly just being young and dumb and not knowing how to communicate) and we decided to get a divorce. It lasted 10 month. I guess it was more like a very expensive separation. Anyway we decided we still loved each other and the following year we got remarried. That was 18 years ago and still going strong. Honestly we are happier now than we have ever been.
Wow, what a lovely story, Marci - you two were definitely meant to be together. :)
My dad had mistakenly booked my wedding cars for the 20th November
A bit unfortunate as I was getting married in October I ended up in a dirty Hackney cab with bouquet held a loft bridesmaid on knee and a sobbing dad x
Makes me feel so young. You got married the year I was born. Lovely story
charlotte Woodley I was born in 1996
Stunning ~ lovely to see 😍 I married in 1980 in a huge blancmange of a dress 🙈 x
Yr wedding dress was lovely xxx
Love this wallpaper caroline .
On my wedding we went to a hotel stay after and we had a jacuzzi bath never used one before and we put bubble bath in and you can imagine what happened lol was very embarrassing
Thank you for replying to me. I forgot to tell you that I liked your telling your husband Ashley I’d like quite to get married. It worked for you, Caroline. Nor women should do that. I did have a boyfriend from Iran that I dated for 4 years and told him that we should get married. I am so glad that he said No as he was not the right man and I would have been miserable if I did marry him. God always helps in circumstances like that. I am glad that you married a good man. He seems nice and you are blessed. I like your beautiful house. I enjoyed the tour.
I am very lucky, Ashley is a very good egg (I don't know if that's only an English expression or not!)
Hi Caroline
This video just popped up
How interesting it was
You looked lovely
I thought I’d tell you why we got married it was 1972
I was paying my mum £2 per week
And Dave was giving his mum £5 per week
We could get a brand new house for £4 per week so we thought we’d get married
That was 50 years on 5th August 2022
Who’d have thought
There’s been loads of water under the bridge as you can imagine
Hope that give you a chuckle
Take care xx
Wow, congrats on your upcoming Golden Wedding, I hope you're celebrating!
Love your hair like this (randomly came up in my news feed )
Enjoyed your Wedding srory
funny i also got married twice within days abroad lol, just 3 years ago. one was legal and one was traditional church.
What a lovely story ! Loved your dress, and the whole outfit. So beautiful :D xx
What a lovely wedding story! Will looks so much like Ashley, seeing Ashley as a younger man. Your dress was gorgeous! Interestingly enough, Bryant & I came all the way to the UK to get married in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull in Scotland in 1999. We had been exploring our "roots"/genealogy, found that his family came from Mull and my Mom's family from other parts of Scotland. We took 5 weeks and rented a car, drove all over England & Scotland (I drove the entire 2600 miles), rented Bryant a McLean tartan kilt, had a piper and were married at the registry office, part of the ceremony in Gaelic. It was our second marriage (for both of us) so we wanted to do something different and travel, as well. The officiant met with us the day before and asked if we fought much (which I thought was a very odd thing to ask!) and I said, sometimes we do, but we just blow up & (as you mentioned) get things off our chest & move on. He threw back his head and laughed & said "Aye, yer both Scots in the blood!" (we're both alpha types, I think). It was a fabulous experience - thanks for sharing yours ~
Oh thank you for sharing your wedding story, Heather - and what an amazing way to get married. Sounds like a fantastic trip, and definitely a day to remember :)
❤
💞💞
What a great story. I loved walking down memory lane with you. You looked so beauitful as a bride. Ashley was so handsome. The two of you are quite cute together. I have never been married. I always said that i'm not the marrying kind. I have been to my fair share of them though. You know something you gave very kind eyes. I am enjoying all of your videos too.
Thank you so much!
On my weeding day my Mum put her parts on as I had two friend's as witnesses, so never to say she had her way. 😊
After I finished my nurses training my friend and I went to work at Butlins Barry Island when we arrived and we’re getting signed in I looked across the room and saw a tall good looking lad I said to my friend Oh he’s nice guess what I married him and it’s our 50th wedding anniversary next year we have two children and 4 grand children we’ve live in South Africa and been all over the world and remain very happy and healthy he’s English I’m Scottish and met in Cardiff hows about that then 😂😂
Oh wow, congrats on your golden wedding next year - 50 years is an amazing achievement!
Loved your storytime! Here's mine: A guy broke my heart in Africa so I ran away to Australia in 1974. I also married my first husband twice. The first time (1975) in the Perth (Western Australia) Registry Office at lunchtime on Valentine's Day - 3 weeks after we'd met. Our guests were my brother & his wife, his brother & girlfriend and his mum, my parents were still in Africa. One year later, my parents came to visit and we re-affirmed our vows in a pretty church in Kalamunda, so Dad could walk me down the aisle. Mum was happy even though it wasn't the big white wedding she dreamed of, surrounded by family and friends in Africa. The small celebration in our newly built house with 40+ people was casual although how I managed to also cater for it, I still don't know! Unfortunately 10 years and two beautiful children later, I found him 'in the middle of' with the girlfriend I didn't know he had! 17 (intentionally single) years later the man who broke my heart in Africa found my name on the net and whisked me away to Ireland for 14 months of courtship. We came back to Oz and married at Hillarys Boat Harbour with the sun setting over the sea followed by a 'session' in the Yacht Club with a live band totally reminiscent of our original meeting when he played in a band. He actually surprised everyone by playing his guitar in a couple of old songs while 80+ of our families and friends (and I) rock and rolled! That was 2003 and it seems like 5 minutes ago.
Loved reading your story, thank you for sharing!
A helicopter? You didn't mention it,,,. You looked lively,,, and so happy the both of you,,, wishing you many more years of happiness,
Supposed to say lovely not lively lol
Thank you for sharing such a private event…the dress is lovely…
This came up in my notifications of old stuff...
Awwww what a lovely story 🙏 💕 Made me smile ☺ I also worked on the ships yrs ago too 🛳 🌊
I like this hairdo.
Love the length of you hair.
Your dress was lovely and you looked beautiful.
My wedding the beautiful car arrived and my father and I were ready to depart for the short journey to our local chapel.
Then my father a very practical man realised it was bin day he.told the driver. of the bridal car to wait and proceeded to put out the bin.He in his new suit and me in my white bridal dress and veil .🤣😅😁
Haha, I love the practicality, typical man! Bless him!
What a LOVELY story Caroline
I loved your dress
I met my husband on my 17th birthday at a "disco"
He's 6ft 5" ....I'm 5ft 3" so l constantly talk to his chest 😁
We got engaged the following year & we've been married for 39 years this October. I could write a book & make a film about the run up to.our vwedding day, but we've made it through, it was a bitterly cold October day, blowing a gale, but thankfully it didn't rain.
A lot of my wedding day was ruled by tradition & relatives that sulked otherwise ... but l went along with it & it was a lovely day & the evening reception was even better because l could finally relax & all our friends arrived - the older relatives went home & let us get on with the noisy dancing 😁
I am a newcomer to your channel, just came from one of your shopping haul videos, and saw this on the side, so had to look. I loved this video, and think that although it's not the traditional "wedding picture" one the best photo is of you and Ashley cutting your wedding cake. It's the close-up that shows not only the details of your dress and headband, Ashley's waistcoat and tie, and flowers and gorgeous cake, but every one of those components comes together to form the loveliest and perfectly composed image. And the picture looks like it was taken yesterday! Congratulations on your obviously very successul marriage, and best wishes for many more years together!
Thank you Donna, for such a lovely comment. I really like that photo as well :)

Oh my goodness. I got married in July 96 and my proposal was almost identical to yours ha ha. Not only that, we have almost identical rings and I had a straight dress with a flower headband too. I only had one though lol
Hi Audrey - amazing coincidences - we must both have excellent taste!!
