Thank you! My new son in law did explain to me how to find the photos from my camera and attach them to an e-mail, but I have lost the bit of paper with the step by step instructions on it. :-\
I need someone here to explain.I have tried and failed many times to post photos and I just get very upset when I cant do it. Previously Aspin has done it for me, but I don't want to bother her at the moment.

I am getting lots of ideas for my daughters wedding from this thread.  She had a lovely experience yesterday she found the perfect lipstick (my daughters does not normally wear lipstick) with some help from a lovely lady in Fenwicks, but unfortunately the colour chosen was discontinued and should not have been left out on display.  My daughter was somewhat disappointed about this, but decided to look at other colours, the assistant disappeared on  her return  she told my daughter that she had a word with her supervisor and my daughter was very welcome to have the sample, free of charge, wasn't this a lovely gesture, the shop assistant told my daughter to have a wonderful wedding day, this kind gesture made my daughters day.
Kind regards Susan

I think today that there is too much money is spent on a wedding.
When we got married I got my dress off the peg also the bridesmaids dresses were off the peg. When my son got married 2 years ago his wife and bridesmaids had about 6 fittings   !!!
I have been to several weddings that have cost a fortune..sadly some of the couples have split up I have also been to a few that have not cost much at all, they are still together, so really a wedding is about 2 people not about how much to spend on one.
What annoys me is that when you book a room for the recepton. you naturally pay a lot for the meal, but they also charge you for the hire of the room !!!!

We went to the second reading of the banns of marriage yesterday - our daughter is to marry in December, it was delightful, we then all went out for a lovely Sunday lunch.
My daughters, the elder is the bride, the younger the bridesmaid got together (they live in different parts of the country - so this is not always easy) everything seems to be coming together now .The weather yesterday was terrible and as we sat in the little church I kept thinking I hope the weather will be kinder to us on the big day.  My husband says there is nothing we can do about the weather, he is of course correct, and we shall just have to make the most of it.
I think that we are going to provide the ushers with large brollies and plastic ponchos just in case. Anyone any other idea?
Kind regards Susan

I had a "perfect" 2nd wedding. I phoned friends and invited myself to coffee. Then when we arrived I told them we wanted to use her garden! The only other people present were the 2 witnesses the pastor and his wife. It was awesome. I could be "me"!
 but we did have an "open house" as a reception later!
