Wedding fun...

 At the weekend (24th January 2015) my Uncle got married in Manchester! As expected it was a beautiful day, lots of emotion, love, happiness and of course, photos!

 To start with, there was the beaaaautiful bride and of course, my new Auntie walking down the aisle... As family we got the first two rows of seats so perfect view and distance for hearing the vows!!



 After the most beautiful ceremony, there was a bit of downtime before the party which proved to be a fantastic time to get some selfies into the day!!


Here is my lovely nan and grandad, followed by a quick snap with my wonderful mum!!



 It was then time to head to the lovely Rosylee Tea Rooms in Manchester, just outside of Piccadilly. This was the perfect venue, the interior was beautiful - they had laid out a magnificent table spread and upstairs there was room designated for the disco!

They also had the most beautiful, original cake!! (Note the wooden stand under the cake - this was created by the bride's Dad and it is carved with the bride and groom's name, along with the date of the wedding!!) How fabulous! 




There was also a photo booth included in the disco which provided endless amounts of fun for me and my family! We definitely took waaaay more than anybody else haha! 









I 100% recommend this idea for any kind of party - it comes with a dress up box so you can dress up as anything you like and create ridiculous photos with loved ones that will serve as amazing memories!! Definitely one of the best parts of the day!!



To finish off, I'll leave you all with a little family selfie consisting of my mum, my mum's boyfriend, my Auntie (a different one - not the bride), my boyfriend, and of course, me!!



Lots of love,

THE BEGINNING

Helllllo there, my name is Molly and I have decided to start a blog as a way of getting into writing my opinions about things. After uni I have decided I want to head into journalism and so blogging about things, ie. my life and general thoughts and opinions seemed a good way to kick start that practice of simply writing. This is actually more daunting than I thought it would be and I hope no one turns round and says this is all utter bull haha.


I guess the first thing that seems a good idea to write about is myself in the here and now and what I’m currently doing – I’m at uni! I go to Northumbria University in Newcastle, which was just about the best decision I ever made really. Being at uni has not only made me grow up a bit and become an adult – in the ways of paying bills, cooking, washing etc but it has also led me directly to the career path I want to go down. I started uni totally clueless with the idea of getting out of Newark (the small town I’m from) and doing something I really love –English! It started off as just that, me doing a degree for no other reason that it seemed the easiest option than to just go and ‘get a job’. But now it has proved to me what I really am interested in; what my strengths are, what I’m good at and what I actually want to do for the rest of my life. I’ve always been a keen writer and magazines, tabloids and broadsheets have always caught my eye. In fact, the media in general has always interested me – not necessarily just celebrities but the media itself, news stations, presenters, broadcasting – I find it all so interesting and now I am hopefully going to become a part of it all!


Although uni is without a doubt the most stressful thing in my life, it’s also the most exciting thing– it gives the opportunity to live independently but also pretty much carefree with the biggest decision being ‘shall I go out tonight?'. Saying that, it simultaneously prepares and equips you with skills and knowledge to have a successful career. It’s a crazy time, and describing university to someone who has never been, will always remain impossible! With another year and a half to go, I can’t wait to see what else is thrown my way and what other fantastic opportunities arise from the crazy city that is Newcastle!
