It was an amazing day. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and really made an effort on our behalf.

And it was overwhelming, with 70-odd guests I’d never met before. I didn’t cry during the service, although it was a bit of a near thing; I got through the vows without choking, although it may have helped that the entire church cracked up laughing when Tobermory repeated the “I promise to listen to what you have to say” bit.

As the bells started pealing as we walked out of the church, I did lean on Tobermory’s shoulder a little and cry.

He looked fantastic in the morning suit. My dress got muddy, but there should be some lovely photos – the ones I’ve seen off the best man’s camera and sister-in-law’s boyfriend’s camera are great.

It feels like we’re actually married, now. We’ve been legal for two months, but this was… real, somehow, in a way the legalities weren ‘t.

Now to learn to think of myself as “wife”.
