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!
