Is it weird to take the DC to see a teacher getting married?

[greateststory]

Very small town, school has a real community feel.

One of the teachers is from the town and is getting married today at 3. The time was posted in the parish bulletin and the children all knew she was getting married- they had a special assembly etc.

Is it strange to go down to the church to see her? DD is desperate. We wouldn't go in or anything!

Nah, get yourselves there!

No that's fine. Be there for when they come out of the church.

Wait outside and give her a wave! Lovely gesture and very popular in the olden days - pity it stopped

Ooooh fab. I do love a wedding

Aww. I would think she will be very touched!

My cousin is a primary teacher and the children from her village/school did this, it was absolutely lovely!
I think they were all waiting outside after the ceremony, and watched the confetti throwing, and all waved and cheered. It made it feel really special and showed all of us how valued she was in her community, which was lovely to see

(ps weeping again at the memory!)

Oh yes, take her she'll love it.

As kids we spent many Saturday afternoons sitting on the churchyard wall watching the weddings and running through the confetti strewn on the path
Often a bride's father threw coins to us, I think it was a tradition for good luck for the bride and groom or similar.

One of the teachers from DS school got married and had the school choir singing and invited all pupils to come and watch.

Not sure to go for the start or the end now!

Go for the end and watch them come out.

Wait outside and give her a wave! Lovely gesture and very popular in the olden days - pity it stopped

Funny, I was just thinking the other day how this doesn’t happen any more.

Go at the end op and see them coming out.

Go for the end. She will be feeling a lot more relaxed..

Thanks all- end it is! DD is hopping with excitement

Go at the end. Wait to see her coming out all glowing and happy with her new husband. She will have more time to stop and wave and smile at your DD.

If you have any flowers in your garden DD could pick one to give to her

Ahh that’s sweet. I’m sure she’ll be touched. I quite like it when I get a hello miss from my 11-16s in the shop 😄

Go defo when my uncle got married the other day outside the church cars was going pass and kept beeping at them and cheering I loved it

Absolutely take her - teacher will be very touched.

Some children in my class did this when I married! Definitely take her for when they come out

That’s adorable! Hope she enjoys seeing her teacher! :)

I was a Scout leader when I got married and 3 or 4 of my Scouts came and threw confetti. Lovely.

Those saying the teacher will love it and will be touched... are you teachers?

My class came when I got married.

My tutor group came to our wedding, the school choir sang and a few more came to see us arrive at the church. Made it feel very special!
