So our day came and went.
It just doesn't feel right to leave this page without a final entry.
I want to fill this page with lots of pictures and general happiness.
Dan is currently watching the last few episodes of Breaking Bad, and I hope will write his own version of this in time.
Just want to let everyone know that Thank You cards will be sent out soon. I just can't find any I like!
Hopefully we have said all of our thank you's either in person or through the speeches. But there are a few thank you's I didn't get to make.
Ma n Pa
Just a quick one as they won't see this. But the people that made it possible. My parents. And they kept me from jumping off a bridge throughout the planning.
Much appreciated.
The in-laws
The craftier set of parents. The idea makers. The planners. So much stuff would not have gotten done if it wasn't for this power couple. Also, I lost count how many times Dan said 'my dad's mate'. Which, may I say, has been so brilliant!
The Men

Calum
Coming all the way from Liverpool! It's never easy to get Saturdays off when you work in retail near Christmas. Thank you for making sure you could come spend the day with us.
Joe
You have been a constant for Dan. You started a business! It was obvious you were going to be a Groomsman, and thank you from me for accepting the offer. No one could have replaced you in the party.
Matt
It's such a lot of pressure to be a best man. There was no one else who could have done it but you. You made a lovely speech. One that I'm sure both Dan and I won't forget. :)
Rob
Big brother I know you don't like your picture being taken, or people talking to you, or people looking at you. But you did super well and I have the photos to prove it! Thank you for not hiding from the camera in true Milligan fashion. Genuinely proud.
James
Scotland! You came from Scotland! Thank you so much! That must have been a treck and a half. Was lovely to have you there, there would have been a James (and Fiona!!) shaped hole if you weren't.
The Women

Emma
Late night trips to the Range, all the palava with the dresses, the nails (oh god the nails!!) It's been such a laugh. Thank you for putting up with me and ferrying me around. Can't believe you trusted me to direct us to Merry Hill and back!!
Isabella
The darling little girl, and her two brothers, were so well behaved and gorgeous. Isabella made all the heads turn. Just beautiful.
Lianne
Every tear that I nearly shed was sent over for you to cry, thanks as I don't think my mascara was waterproof. There was a reason I picked you to do a reading. Thank you for doing that for me.
Rosie
Oh my God, the Hen do. Thank you thank you thank you. The effort you went to. The amount of people you added on Facebook so they would talk to you. That responsibility sort of just fell on you and you handled it beautifully. Thank you.
Polly
I know the dress wasn't your first choice. Or the heels. But thank you for respecting my choices and doing so with such grace and dignity. You looked beautiful. I couldn't have asked for more. You are a superstar.
The Husband
Daniel David Helsby.
You got to do your speech, well now it's my turn.
Thank you for marrying me! It sounds super silly but I don't think I've properly said thank you yet.
I think I've been far too busy reveling in my own good fortune- I mean look at the man that I've married. Just look at him!
Look at his lovely face!!!
I am one lucky wife.
I've never met such a beautiful person inside and out. And I am genuinely amazed that you have stuck with me for so long. I do not deserve you.
But I've got you forever now!
You're stuck with me.
RIP team Millsby
GO team Helsby...
