2016 in Review - The most amazing year!

Ok so I can't lie.. as years go 2016 has got to be up there at the top! In fact.. looking back at the photos I couldn't quite remember all the epic times this year has held! I think we could pretty much sum up this year as the year of the hen nights.. weddings and holidays! Prepare yourselves.. this post is going to be pretty photo heavy.. sit back.. grab a brew and enjoy..


January 




Its weird.. this seems like such a longtime ago now! I almost forgot that we did this but in January we went back to the Harry Potter Studio tour where we got engaged. I brought Adam the tickets for Christmas last year as I thought it would be nice for us to go back and for him to enjoy the tour without him being nervous about the ring in his pocket. We had such a lovely time and it will always be a special place. It was great to go back as we got to see Hogwarts in the snow and also the Hogwarts express which wasn't there the last time we went.





Another Christmas present.. this time from Adams mum and dad... we went to Manchester to see the Strictly come dancing tour. As someone who has watched the show since it began it was amazing to see it in real life. Especially as we has amazing seats where the dancers actually came right in front of us.

April 




April was the month of the hen do's - well 2 of them. The 2 photos on the top are from my 1950s hen party up in Sheffield where we had Cocktail making and a Salsa lesson and the one in the bottom is from a night out I had at a local hotel who hosted a charity wedding night where we went with the girls I work with. Both epic nights.

May


In May we jetted off for an all expenses paid 5* holiday to Mexico which Adam had worked very hard to win at work! I was unbelievably proud of him that he did this and we had an amazing week. We went snorkelling in the ocean, had many a party and spent the week by the most amazing beach! Defiantly what we needed pre wedding!



The end of May marked the first of the 3 weddings we had his year when my cousin and his fiancé got married. It was such a beautiful day and got us all excited for our wedding! 

June





June.. what a perfect month! I can't believe its been 6 months since this happened. The day was absolutely perfect. The photos are amazing and everything just felt so good.

August




The last of the years wedding came in August when my little brother married his girlfriend of 12 years - its about time we were all saying! They met at school and have been together ever since. It was so special to be part of their day! 

September


Another amazing month with amazing adventures! In September we went on our Honeymoon adventure. As we had done the whole 5 * holiday in May we decided that we wanted to do something different for our honeymoon so we booked 2 InterRail passes and off to Europe we went! 14 days of London, Paris, Venice, Florence, Pisa and Rome! It was the most brilliant adventure and we have so many beautiful memories.


Also in September I graduated from the course I had spent 12 months completing. I now have a post graduate certificate in Health Care Leadership which I feel really proud that I was able to complete while working full time and planning a wedding! 

The end of the year has sort of flown by! I can't believe tomorrow will be New Years Eve! It doesn't seem 5 minutes ago since we were jumping up and down last year going OMG we are getting married this year!!! 

What have been your highlights of 2016??
