The wedding

We went to the wedding last weekend.  It was lovely.  I haven't posted about before now because I didn't take photos (remembered the camera though!) and have been waiting for someone to send me some so I could include at least one photo!

I had found a top to go with the suit.  Yeah!   But I had also realised with a feeling of total dread that I did not have a pair of shoes to wear.  Really.  Shoes are worse than clothes.  Awkward feet.  Only comfortable in flat shoes.  Groan.  I bought a pair of cheap flat black shoes - can't go wrong, I thought.  Hah!  They are okay (ish), but they rubbed.  Dumb of me.  I can't wear shoes that are cheap.  Never ever have been able to.  Anyway, it got me through the evening.  (Changed shoes as soon as I got back to the car!)

Back to the wedding.....

They had a lovely little service and read their vows to each other again.  As H's sister lives in this country, we even got one of the bridesmaids there too!  It was wonderful to be able to join in and I think it was nice for H to get to wear her dress twice.  Not too many of us able to boast that!

A beautiful cake (well, two; got to have chocolate and fruit) was made as well as bunting with their names on.  It was all in the same colour theme as in Canada and their engagement.  So special!  We had bubbles to blow too from these cute little containers.  Confetti seems to have had its day as it is now considered environmentally unfriendly. (Though a friend of mine, who I hadn't seen in ages and looked fabulous, had slipped some in a card and was hoping to get some in a suitcase too - he he he!)  I remember finding confetti for weeks after we got married!

Congratulations H&E!

I am glad you found a blouse. Cheap shoes stink though. My daughter decided to wear my expensive boots recently (had them for ages, but only wear them for special events or Sundays) and came back to show me that the heel tips had snapped off. Kids! Gotta love 'em.
Congrats to H & E!

Hope you are having a wonderful week. We are having a rainy, pain filled week so far. After Wednesday, when B.'s arm is set and we find out if she has to have surgery or not, she will feel better.
Then I will too, of course!

Hi Sarah. Looks like a wonderful time was had by all at the wedding. You can't help but be happy and joyful at a wedding...so much to look forward to...a new beginning :-). The bride looks beautiful too.
I understand the whole thing about comfortable shoes. When I was much younger, vanity came before common sense and too much of the time I forced my large peasant stock feet into something that just screamed "NO" don't stick those large gargantuan things where they don't belong!!! I wear a size 9 and I'm only 5'3". Oh well live and learn :-).
Thanks so much for always be so faithful to comment over at my place. Really, I appreciate seeing your comments there!
I hope your weekend is a wonderful one!
Blessings, Julie
