Aw - I think now is the time to stop worrying about it and enjoy it. We would love to see a picture of you both in your frocks. It's in Wales too! Rain or no, I wish I was coming

Well, I haven't slept a wink!!
We have been SO busy, I wouldn't recommend the DIY route but hey ho!!
Lots of help yesterday to set up the room, it looks amazing.

It's a Shabby Chic version of a Church Hall Tea Party. The building is a converted chapel; luckily, it doesn't have that sad air or miasma that sometimes hovers in the air in these old buildings but feels full of life and potential. I would love to live there.

It's in an interesting part of town, which will be fun. The last wedding we went to was in a castle,

One of the rooms is a bridal dressmakers studio; I have had lots of fun persuading people that we are wearing two of her yummy creations. That would be a sight for sore eyes! One of the recommendations for planning CP is to check both the dresses can fit side-by-side down the aisle.

We have a mystery ingredient from the allotment in one of our savoury pastries, with the prize being dinner at our house.

I'll tell you about the Cake next time in case any lurkers see this thread, I want it to be a surprise.

We picked up the poppers and bubble wands and Pez for children.

I'm going back to bed now, need to look a little rested.

Can I ask you to put your collective heads together fora break in the rain and no (predicted) 60 mile an hour winds at 3-4pm in South Wales today?

Wishing you every happiness and hope your celebrations are fun for all!
Love the sound of your food!
Can you get macaroons? They are delicious.

Your ideas seem just perfect, Earthynana - good home made food and family to enjoy the celebration - what could be better!
A recent wedding I attended had little cellophane bags tied with a ribbon at each guest's place. They contained a selection of Haribro sweets and were popular with everyone.
I hope you and your partner have a wonderful day and wish you both every happiness for the future.

Any thoughts about a celebration cake, Earthynanna? I'm not an expert on cakes, especially ones done on a budget, but maybe others will have some ideas.

I hope it all goes really well for you.

Remember to buy some party poppers they are really cheap in the £1 shops I think you get about 20 to a bag they get a party started,and pick some wild flowers if you live locally to the countryside they will really make the room fragrant and pretty. Best of luck
