@wolfie11969 ...hope you have had a successful day dress hunting...:)..

....think we have got most things sorted......is second time round for each of us so keeping it simple and just a small intimate affair with close family and a few friends.....have sorted both our outfits more or less with just a couple of accessories to source and buy.....I am still considering flowers for myself to carry (the gardener in me says I should) but deciding what other bells and whistles we do or don't need....(mostly don't!)...

...am also seeing what I can make or do myself....I have already made a practice place setting with my jewellery / beading skills and working out how to add the personal touch to them with little charms....found some great ones on popular auction site which are wedding related or some personal relevance to those attending...

.....formalities completed today so good to go on our chosen day once we have served our time.....

...am pleased we have chosen to do it the way we have and feel for those with much more ambitious (and expensive) plans.....hope all goes well and that your daughter enjoys their day once they finally get there ....:)

We did get a dress, and a veil, and a underskirt and a box to store it all in. Came to half the price of the other dress she had set her heart on. She tried on something similar to the dress she liked but decided it made her look 'too childlike', whereas the dress she has chosen makes her feel like a bride. So no only head piece (for when the veil comes off), shoes and undies and her outfit is complete. I think she was overwhelmed by her own reaction and mine. I've asked if she has buyers remorse this morning and the answer is no so all good there.

If I new how to transfer the half complete photo from my phone to here I'd show you.

As for second marriages - that's where I'm at. I was married to my daughters' father but that broke down and I'm now married to a man called Ian. (He's been married before and has 2 sons). We decided on something low key too and did a lot of the stuff for the wedding ourselves like invites, placecards, banners. We did splash out on a few things but our wedding day wasnt what we hoped with warring families and other things. Would I do it again? Oh gosh no. We hit our 10 year anniversary n 2016 and we were going to renew our vows and have a party but decided again against it due to certain family members.

I like wedding cake but I can now buy a plain iced fruit cake in Tesco so if I feel like my mind is wandering towards wedding cake I'll go buy one of those :p
 
Oh dear someone has been singing as we have rain and a cold wind. I think today its the treadmill for me rather than an outside walk.

Chores to do today and I suppose I should go buy a new vacuum cleaner as ours has given up the ghost.

And then sit on my backside and read my book. I'm now onto one called Omens and it's pretty weird

Enjoy your day

Families eh; What are they like? :):)
 
**** Bol later, him indoors is making it. One of his go to meals, but picked up ingredients for tomorrow’s fish pie on the way home from afternoon flicks with friend. I love being able to watch a film unfold without him indoors doing a critical, and critical, analysis afterwards. We saw The Guersney Potato Peel Pie Literary Society. The main character was a bit breathy, lots of over acting of reactions, but all the rest was great.
And great cosies and settings!
