For those who couldn´t quite hear or want to read them again:

Para ellos que no escuchaban bien o simplemente quieren leerlos otra vez:

Josè: Mi corzón y mi vida ya los tienes, por eso vamos a celebrarlo casándonos

Stephanie: We are getting married to further unify this strong bond that we have alreadyformed. You are my sun, through all the distance and improbablility of us meeting, we met, just like the sun clasping the earth in Shelley´s poem. Just like the sun, you are there when I most need you.

Jose: No me acuerdo cuando me enamoré de ti, solo tengo recuerdos de quererte desde el principio

Stephanie: When did I fall in love with you? My reply, I cant remember not being in love with you

Jose: Tu has traido a mi vida vitalidad. Me gustas cuando hablas, cuando callas, cuando comes y cuando bebes, cuando gritas y cuando duermes, la vida sigue siendo divertida, pero casado contigo tiene más ventanas, más luz.

Stephanie: By your side I am a stronger person, together we are invincible. We often say ´"you and I against the world" Now our team can be fortalised by devotion and this sacred vow:

Jose: Yo, Jose Manuel Muñoz Arteaga, toma a ti, Stephanie, como mi esposa, mejor amiga, compañera fiel y amor desde el día de hoy. En presencia de nuestras familias y amigos, prometo amarte, ser fiel, apoyarte, inspirarte, reir y llorar contigo, en lo bueno y en lo malo, en la riqueza y la pobreza, en la salud y la enfermedad, en esta vida y las que vengan

Stephanie: I, Stephanie Burgess, take you Jose, to be my lawfully wedded husband, my bestfriend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of our family and friends, I promise to love you, be faithful to you, to inspire you, to laugh with you and cry with you, in good times and in bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, in this life and others that may come

We are sat here on this cloudy sunday evening. Most of you, the guests, have left today and it seems very strange being back in our little flat again. Emma and Jase have decided to stay another night before they head to Salamanca tomorrow. Mum and Dad are on their way down to Conil with Chris and Art. Ems and Jase (yet again hungover) have gone for a lie down and everything seems very quiet. We have been all day reflecting on the wedding and we both said as we walked around the park this afternoon that it had been the best day of our lives (cliche but sooo true). It all seems like a dream now - it was a dream come true. We both had a wonderful time.

Over the next few weeks we are going to put lot of pictures onto this site with some little comments and stories of what happened during the day. We'd love you all to add your comments and stories and even though we have arranged for most of the photos to be sent to us on disc, we'd appreciate it if you could email some good ones asap so that we can add them to the site.(they don't need to be top quality, in fact for this blog better if you could get them under 1mb).
Thank you all for making the day so special. From what I hear, you all really enjoyed yourselves. See you on the 3rd June to do it all over again!!!!!

We've just opened this blog and due to still being sat in our pijamas this lovely saturday morning, this may take some time.

We will be uploading info about the wedding etc asap so keep your eyes on this site!!

Hugs to all!!!!
