Wedding night blues
Was a bit disappointed as it was our wedding day. The room was ok, and the staff had put petals in a love heart which was really nice of them. But there was a triangle window with netting on but no curtain so I felt very self conscious as we were on the ground floor and it was facing the main road which we could see from the bed. That put a dampener on everything. I then dropped something beside the bedside cabinet and I happened to look beside the cabinet and wall where it was full of cobwebs a wet wipe sticking to the cobwebs and a fairly large spider. Also on the right hand side of the bed was a connection to keep the bedbase together and there was a sharp edge to the screw which I was forever catching my leg on. All in all it wasn’t the wedding night we were expecting
