Jose and Abigail's Wedding in Usk, Monmouthshire
Countryside Autumn Green
J&A
21 Sep, 2024Our Real Wedding
It's a cliche, but a cliche for a reason - our wedding day was the best day of our lives. We got married at our church by our pastor, and had an intimate celebration with those we love at Usk Castle. Dreamy. We are both really busy with our careers, so planning the perfect day was not an easy task. We knew what was important to us (good food, good photos, good vibes). I was the third wedding between my siblings within 18 months(our poor mother...). It was a truly magical day, from getting ready with my childhood friends, my eldest brother driving me to the church, my husband sobbing as I walked down the aisle (every girl's dream, right?), all the happy smiles as we walked out! And finally getting to relax and enjoy everything we planned at the reception was amazing. We honestly had the best day, catered to us and for our loved ones, to fully enjoy - because it only happens once. I will treasure those memories for a lifetime, and probably use any excuse I can to host as many events for my loved ones as possible, although they won't hold a candle to our special day. As much as I am happy to never plan such a big event again, I get so nostalgic about the whole experience and, of course, the day itself. I would do it all over in a heartbeat. Especially getting to marry my wonderful husband again - what an amazing feeling. At the end of the day, we got to celebrate our love exactly how we wanted, with all our loved ones, after four years waiting and an international, not always easy, love story. That is all that really matters, but I feel so blessed by what a special day it was. I wouldn't change a thing. Now we are approaching our 1-year anniversary (cannot believe it!!) I can't wait to spend each year making more special memories together.
