preparing for a wedding

[Kevinshouse]

On Sunday we went to hear the first banns read for our daughters marriage in December, my elderly father in law( hes 82) attended with us.  We sat in the beautiful little church, the sun was shining and it was the Harvest Festival.  My father in law told us a story about when he married, the church warden asked his mother, who was sat waiting for the wedding ceremony to start, if she would like the candles lit, his mother misheard the church warden and thought he said would you like to cancel it.  Sarah my father in laws mother said she did not want to cancel it and didn't know why they would ask such a thing, and that is why the candles in the church that day were not lit for the wedding!

It's all over! We had a fantastic day on Thursday. There were just 30 adults and 3 children.
The venue was amazing, my daughter looked really happy and so beautiful and her 4 bridesmaids too.
The food was super and the service was wonderful.
On Friday we had a hog roast and disco/karaoke at the rugby club - 130 people.
Two completely different nights, but both very enjoyable.
And all organised by my daughter!

I am getting married in August. At the moment it feels like a giant to do list.

The dress is on order. Cars and cake booked. I am seeing a reasonable priced photographer on Friday. I am making the invitations and orders of service myself to save costs. We are not having speeches as I can't bear the thought of having to listen plus OH would hate making one. Reception and church are booked. I'm going to tackle honeymoon and groom's suit this week as well. My head is spinning with it all. Hairdresser is booked as well. The guest list is giving me a headache though as to who to invite from work. I can't fit more than 80 in the church and that's big enough anyway but  There isn't an harrassed smiley to show how I'm feeling!

Our daughter got married just over two weeks ago. I t was such a wonderful day there are not enough superlatives to describe the day .......... and all at what I thought was a very reasonable price.

Anyway, here is a snap of the reception room before everyone sat down for the meal and one of the wedding cake made by my good lady. This includes the sugar paste flowers.

Wow, that looks absolutely perfect, what a wonderful day you must have had, I am so looking forward to our daughters wedding on advent Sunday (many people have said to me that they prefer summer weddings), but I think that a Christmas wedding is wonderful, it wouldn't do for us all to be the same, would it?
By the way when I was looking through some old family marriage certificates my husbands g grandparents married on the same date in 1898.

I cant help you with advice on posting photographs - but I am sure that some clever person somewhere could help you  I would love to see your photographs and I am sure that lots of other Roots Chatters would too.
