The vow renewal of Mandy and Paul (yes thats me!!) (Part 1)

On 14/04/10 Paul and celebrated 10 years of an amazing and unique marriage by renewing our vows in front of our children and friends in a funky vintage setting at As You Like It, Jesmond.

This day, the day of my dreams was everything I imagined and more.

I want to share some photographs from each of our 4 photographers as they come in so what better way to start than those of ace photographer and Tilt Shift expert Mark Scholey.

When Paul and I booked our vow renewal we wanted it to reflect us as a couple so vintage, quirky and full of love,  I seriously believed that the photography that Mark produced is like some kind of vintage indie love story and that is a reason to love it even more.

My hubby looked hot even if his 40's outfit turned out to be Miami Vice 80's linen, never one to be defined is Meandering Paul.

Love this one of Paul with Iain.

The girls and I arrived and I was so nervous, my legs were wobbly and shaky, Paul also said that he couldn't remember being this nervous when we got married.

Walking in and getting our first sight of each other was a magical thing, the funny part was that at the hotel, James tweeted a pic of me and Paul looked, he said to Christine that if he hadn't of looked he would have cried! aww

We were literally the happiest you can ever imagine as we got to celebrate the strength and wonder of our love and 10 years of our marriage.

We were so lucky to have our wonderful friend Joel (who I first met when I photographed his wedding to Heather in April 2008)perform the ceremony, a ceremony which had been written by Heather, I can't say enough wonderful things about the ceremony, it was fun, heartfelt and above all it was Paul and I in a nutshell!

Yes so happy that when he kissed me for the millionth time in 20 minutes I actually lifted my leg up, thats how amazing my hubby makes me feel.

I want to share so many more photographs that I'll be blogging all this week or maybe all month with photographs taken by our astoundingly wonderful photographers.

Thanks Mark for your part, you have given us a priceless gift.
