The First iVillage wedding

After months of preparation tinijune finally married her fiance Ian. Here's what she had to say about the big day

'The night before the wedding I was soo nervous and I felt very sick, couldn't eat and felt on the brink of tears the whole time, and I did actually spend about an hour crying in total just from nerves. I had no doubts at all about marrying him and I felt very soppy and in love so I really can't explain the emotional outbursts!

We stayed apart from each other from 8 pm the night before, he went in one bar of the hotel and I went in the other end with all the women, I went to my room early and tried to sleep, but I ended up doing girly things like plucking my eyebrows and doing face packs and stuff. I didn't get to sleep 'til about 2 am, then I woke up 5 mins before my wake up call at 5:55am and my stomach turned over, all I could say for 2 hours was omigod, omigod, omigod but then my mum ordered me a brandy from room service and that seemed to sort me out.

I was going to do my daughters hair curly for the wedding but the curlers wouldn't stay in so we scrapped that idea, that was the first thing that went wrong (but everyone was right, the little things like that don't matter) I managed to eat a tiny triangle of toast then I carried on getting ready, leaving my hair and the dress until last.

I wasn't happy with my hair in the end (never ever attempt to do it yourself on the day) but it was passable so I got my dress on ... and then realised it was 11:35am (wedding was supposed to be at 11:30 am) so panic ensued as my mum left to join the wedding party. I had to get Lauren's headdress on her and try and get my wrap right, and try to make a sticky out bit of hair behave all at the same time! Then the manager of the hotel knocked on the door and said everyone was waiting, so I gave up with the wrap and just went bare armed and hoped it was warm (number 2 thing to go wrong)
