But it did make me feel sad that my parents, along with the rest of our family and friends from the UK, weren't able to be there. So we always planned to have some kind of celebration over here at some point.
It took us a while to get round to it, as a lot was happening earlier this year, including our honeymoon and us moving to a different part of the country, but seven months later, with a lot of help from my parents, we organised a small event near my parents' house in Wiltshire.
We began the celebrations with a religious blessing of our marriage at the local church, which was very special and meaningful. It was really nice to have a religious ceremony after having a civil one previously.
Of course, the best way to follow this up was with a trip down the pub! We had a great time celebrating at The Horse & Groom in Charlton.
It was quite a laid-back and informal day, but also really special and memorable. It's great to now have photos with our British friends and family that we can add to the ones we already have from our wedding day in Chile.
After a civil union, a civil marriage and a blessing of our marriage, we definitely feel well and truly married and will not be having any further ceremonies! Our wedding era has now come to an end, and we're coming out of it with so many great memories that we'll be looking back on for the rest of our lives.
