heidi i can't believe u've been married 9 days already eek x

Helloooo ladies!
Well I'm offically Mrs B! What an amazing and absolutely hlarious day! Maria dd my hair amazingly! never thought it could look like that! Daniela did my make up and was fantastic. I was worried it may not stay on as it was the hottest day so far at 29 degrees C but it did! Nicky was great and all our guests commented on how brilliant she was. Nicky and Daniela helped lace up my dress and put my jewellery on for me. The ride for me in the car and our guests on the wedding bus to the town hall was overwhelming! All the cars were honking their horns for us and Cypriots by the road and outside cafes were clapping and cheering us.
At the Town Hall our music couldn't be played as there was a problem with their system, which wasn't the end of the world, so everyone clapped and cheered me in. Our little boy grabbed the rings off the cushion and threw them on the floor and our best man had to search around for them which was very funny. Steve got very emotional and had tears rolling down his face as I was saying my vows to him and Nicky gave him a tissue. Ceremony was over before I knew it but it would have been a bit longer had we had music.
The town hall gave us our wedding certifcates and a beautiful present not sure I should say what it was as it may spoil the surprise for any other ladies getting married there.
We then went on the wedding bus to the harbour via the town and there were more honking horns and cheering. I paid for a glass of champagne each on the bus but the bus owners were lovely and everyone had at least 3 glasses.
Steve and I went to the mosaics for pictures with Nicky and then we joined everyone at the castle for more pics before boarding the Sea Star. The cruise was lovely with Nicky taking formal and informal pics while people were eating canapes, drinking and mingling.
We then went on a traditional village bus up to the mountains for our evening reception. Our driver had everyone laughing by making the bus judder and jerk about. We sang "She'll be coming round the mountain" with some very different and funny made up lyrics.
At the taverna the meze and wine was beautiful and Soula and George the owners spent so much time and effort making the taverna perfect and all in Ivory. We had fresh flowers and candles everywhere and Soula and printed out menu cards with organza ribbon.
Meze, desserts and wine were delicous and everyone was very happy. We cut the cake and after feeding each other some I mushed then rest of the piece into Steve's face. We had our first dance and then everyone got up dancing and the time flew by.
At the end of the night Soula gave us the flowers off the top table and the flowers and pearls off the wedding cake and all other little momentos like the beautiful tall glass, beaded candle holders from the cake table. Everyone said how fantastic the day had been and how it's one they will never forget.

Hi all,

I really want to get married in Paphos, Cyprus but I don't know where to start to plan. Can anyone share their tips with me or know of anyone who can organise this or is it better to do it yourself? All help is greatly accepted. xo

Hi Shelle and welcome!

We can all help you every step of the way. Any questions just ask.
Some ladies go for a full wedding package, some use wedding planners just for the paperwork and a few like me do it on their own. Doing it on your own is very straight forward so we found no need for a wedding planner but it all depends on how much you want to do yourself.
We can recommend photographers, hair and beauty etc for you too as we have been there and found them to be great.

What are your ideas so far? Are you wanting a church/town hall/hotel or other location like the beach? Do you have family that will be traveling with you?

I agree with Heidi that booking holiday and wedding seperately do work out much more cost effective.

Can't wait to hear how your wedding plans come along. xx

Hey ladies,

Thanks soo much for getting back to me. I have now unrestricted my page so hopefully now you can post to it.

My plans are a chapel wedding (as i'm Catholic, I am unsure whether I can choose a different location). I want my & H2B's immediate family & a few close friends to travel over with us (this will be about 30 people). I have researched a few places but seem to have got no where.. Are the wedding planners UK based or based in Cyprus? I am worried about planning it myself & it all going wrong :(

Stevie if you could send me those ebrochures that would be a great help. xo

Ahhh missed you. Will try again next time you are on.

I will put the name and details of the lady you need to contact regarding a Catholic ceremony once you have accepted my friend request. xx
