The imaginatively-named Wedding Quiche

[TobyLerone]

Come one, come all.

Getting married? Come and tell us about it so you don't have to go on the scary Bridezilla forums.

Wedding-whore? Come and relive the best day of your life.

Wedding-voyeur? Bugger off, you freak! Get your fix here.

For all the work stuff the PA gave me a checklist (she's the most organised prson I know, by a long way) so that helped. It's a pity she didn't have one for personal life.

At this rate I'll be 95 before everything's in the right name.

Why did this quiche not exist when I was getting married?

Absy tell us all about your nuptials...

ViviPru, as far as I understand it, yes. You register beforehand and then get the registrar to do the legal ceremony. I don't know about Humanist celebrant, though. I think in both England and Scotland, you can get civil-partnered outside but it must be registered for the purpose.

We'll have our reception after the civil ceremony. The blessing will probably be smaller and a couple of days afterwards. We may have a small reception after that but given how expensive the whole thing looks to be (especially paying for two venues!), we'll probably just go to dinner with the guests.

Be sure to come back, Absy :)

Thistle have you thought about using the sashs in the main colours, and then using embellishments in the bows with pins/brooches in the the other colours will try to find an image to show you what i mean

like this but in your colours

Ah ok RGR I see - by blessing - do you mean of a religious nature?

I'm just curious as we're having separate low-key legal officialities with a celebrant-led ceremony at the actual wedding 'event' itself so curious how others are working it.

Yes, religious. DP is a strong Catholic (although not too strong as she is in favour of gay marriage, unsurprisingly!) and I was brought up Catholic/Methodist/agnostic. It's a lot of work calling up different churches and places which only do religious ceremonies to ask whether they do blessings, especially as we have no real local knowledge.

I love the pine cone sash!

I bet! It will be interesting to hear how that pans out - all the very best with it!!

I want to keep the look simple and unfussy, so do not want to be messing around with lots of additional fiddly stuff, particularly as we may have around 130 guests!

I don't want to completely lose the gold/bronze colour scheme on the day- especially as I have set it up with the invites, but at the same time, I don't want to have so much that I end up camouflaged in my dress!

I was planning on having a bouquet of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=helleborus+red&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1265&bih=680&tbm=isch&tbnid=K1QKu46dlrc4xM:&imgrefurl=www.avantgardensne.com/catalog/product.cgi/5188/P1/default/N/0&docid=K3ziOPZxcLNOhM&imgurl=www.avantgardensne.com/catalog/images/product/HelleborusRed-Racer72.jpg&w=250&h=247&ei=YW-JUOWRLu2V0QW10YDQBA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=932&vpy=210&dur=1044&hovh=197&hovw=200&tx=67&ty=107&sig=116350393033244521341&page=1&tbnh=142&tbnw=134&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0,i:83" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">red hellebores and lily of the valley.

That building is lovely, thistle!

Between Loughborough and Leicester, memphis - you? Where's your wedding? Did you see the DTTB at the space centre?! DP and I were in fits!

Pretty hellebores, Thistle :)

I missed that one. We are getting married in the Guildhall and our reception is at North Kilworth (not kilworth house) we are getting a double decker to ferry people about. I am between Leicester and Market Harborough.
There is a weddig fair at the City rooms on the 4th November

The Guildhall is lovely, have you seen this?

I've missed soooo much! Will need to get reading :)

Is it close to your natural colour, Mjin? You're wedding's not till July, right? plenty of time to get used to it/tweak it...

vivi I love that wedding! I want a picture like that where everyone is clapping watching you leave from above....but my guests will probably be pushing to get to mayors parlour for a drink!
I love her headband thats the sort of vintage heavy look I want.

Oooh, I used to live in Coalville :)
