Details from my graduation that just made it the best day ever My boyfriend upgraded our hotel room to a suite and it was gorgeeee. Made the whole getting ready process so much nicer with my own space especially since I had a morning ceremony so was up at 5 am He then gave me this beautiful bracelet the night before so I could wear it on the day My mum got us matching hangers for my dress and his suit Personalised biscuits and tissues Everyone had a little graduation cap with their name on for the seating plan at dinner. My mum filled them with everyone's favourite sweets, we all had different. To be loved is to be known My parents and grandparents each wrote me a letter. This is a snippet of the one from my mum. I bawled at these. So so special Me after reading. I love sentimental stuff so this meant the world to me Got surprised with flowers from my dream florist My dream ring as a gift off my mum and dad 😭❤️They even put a fake one in a ring box to prank me before giving me the real one My beautiful cake! She was perfect and lemon my favourite My mum thinks of every.little.detail A gift I mentioned when I was in 1st year! Specialist Barbie because she is literally me! Something to keep forever. She's from 2010 so my mum hunted high and low on vintage toy websites for her. The personalisation on the gift bag too A perfect day and a very lucky girl.
