Welcome to the forum!!
Congratulations on a really splendid tent. If you have had any experience of tunnel tents , then you will be okay . If not , look at a pitching video of a Vango Tigris, it will give you an idea . Other wise , if you can , do .
-------------
Be seeing you!!

Normally I'd say have a practice pitch first but ............go for it.
Not a difficult tent to pitch so you're going to be fine.
Enjoy

It does look rather big for 2 people, but who cares!
I would have done a trial run before taking it to camp for real, as I believe it would prevent arguments about how it should be errected at the campsite.
I do not want to look like an idiot at the campsite, which I did with my Freelander recently, when I discovered the tent was pointing 90 deg off due to my inability to work out which was the front, doh!!! 
Good luck and enjoy your holiday!

We took our Tigris away without pitching it first - knew it was a risk but it won't fit in our garden! I just checked around the bag to make sure all the pieces were there - pegs, all the poles etc.
Have a great weekend!
