The whole evening from the moment we said our "I dos" has been amazing, our whole families sitting together while we enjoyed a delicious three course meal.

Me, Darren and Grace took some time out with our photographer and took some special family shots. Then we moved on to having group photos and then our photographer went and took some natural photos of the guests enjoying themselves.

Our DJ played some music to see us through to the end of the night, where we all danced like no one was watching until midnight.

"Thank you to every single one of you that have joined us today, the day me and Darren decided on forever. Its been so special and I never like to talk about my past but on this occasion I would just like to say there was a time when I thought I would never see this day, I would never see any of you again. Thanks to this man I am able to, he save me. He continues to save me and I can't express and I never will be able to express how grateful I am for him. I am honoured to be able to call him my husband, my best friend and my rock"

I pass the microphone to Darren so he can say his good bye, "Yes thank you for everyone who was able to come today, I know some of you have flown in, and driven miles to be with us. But also I would like to give a mention to those who couldn't be here, my wife's best friends Jodie and Zara who I know have been by her side not only today but through everything and a special mention to Doctor Keith who I was honoured to get to meet he would be so proud of you, so proud of Grace who he delivered into this world. You may be honoured to call me your husband but nothing gives me as much pleasure to call you my wife, I am in awe of you every single day. I can't wait to see what our future holds. So on that note, thank you all again for celebrating with us, have safe journeys home and we will all see you soon" Darren leans over and brushes his thumb down my cheek and plants a soft kiss.

We quickly say goodbye to Grace who is staying with my parents tonight and me and Darren head to our honeymoon suite for the night.

We walk into a beautifully decorated room, with roses, chocolate and champagne.

"Would you like a glass?" Darren pulls the bottle out of the holder, "You've not really drunk today?" he smiles as he starts to twist the bottle.

"I haven't had time, I've been talking to everyone" I laugh as I slide my sore feet out my shoes. The nerves in my stomach start to flutter.

"Also there is another reason" I fiddle with my hands.

"What?" he sits down on the bed, "Wait, you're not? You're pregnant?" he places the bottle on the floor.

"Well I don't know, I mean maybe. But I brought this and thought we could find out together?" I dig into my bag which was brought up earlier in the day and pull out a pregnancy test.

"How late are you?" he stands up and walks over to me.

"Two weeks, but I've been too scared to test incase we get another negative. I've put it down to stress of the wedding as to why I haven't come on my period" I unwrap the test.

"Oh my god, OK. Right. Well I'm going to wait right here" he sits back down and I walk into the bathroom. I quickly do my business and walk back out with the test in hand. I place it down on the table and walk back over to the bed. Sitting next to Darren I grab his hand.

"You know if it's another negative, its OK. We will try and try again" he whispers.

I slowly nod as I wait.

I look up at the clock and sigh, "OK it's been like three minutes. You look" I turn to him.

He shakes his head, "No honey, you look"
