    How near do you count as near? There's me, Becles, Beenie, newbie_maz, angela and kindof in the north east. I think Agutka may be somewhere around here too.


    I'm very impressed by all this table decorating. We wouldn't have bothered but someone from church volunteered to do flowers to decorate the chapel (which is where the reception was too). I think she found it a bit difficult that I had no views whatsoever on the matter.


    I thought of swarfega to but didn't think that was something you would generally keep in the house so I'm glad you said it to.
    Dh and I are planning a visit down that way not sure when tho but coming to visit my friend billingham and wandered who was close by? Thanx for that x

    We had cakes :D the buffet had a dessert section of beautiful miniature cakes. It is just the whole fuss and faff of a wedding cake (and having to cut said cake) that offends my sensibilities!!

    Basically, anything that 'has' to be done at a wedding I refused to do :rotfl::rotfl:other than the vows and kissing bit ;)


    We weren't supposed to have a first dance either but (and I couldn't believe this) the guests were REFUSING TO DANCE until we had danced :eek: Hubby chose a song off the top of his head and came to get me mumbling something about not causing a fuss and trying to enjoy it!! Luckily he chose so well - Have I Told You Lately That I Love You by Van Morrison :D

    We were pretty much the same, no photographer, no 1st dance, no structure to the day except for the actual marriage bit. After that it was so relaxed and chilled out.

    That happened at my friends wedding too - me and a couple of my friends were dancing, and couldn't understand why no-one else was, then near the end the DJ played the darkness and the happy couple got up to dance. After that everyone was on the dance floor and her dad had to pay the DJ to keep going for another hour. good thing we were in a marquee on his farm, and there were neighbours to complain really!
