15th October Wedding - Mr & Mrs Just_Looking!

[just_looking!]

Just thought I''d add a few non professional photo''s of the wedding whilst we wait for the others to come through!

Sorry if they''re a bit fuzzy - we were trying to make sure they''d post!

My dad is welsh and carved 101 welsh love spoons from welsh ash as favours. It took him 3 hours each for the favours and 4 days for our bridal love spoon. What a Dad!!

We had quite a modern reception room with dramatic flowers.

Although the reception was in Yorkshire we had red flowers for Lancashire, washed coal in the vases for Wales and palm fronds for Bahrain.

Our cake was made by Betty''s Tea Rooms in Harrogate - yummy! We''re only supposed to pretend to cut it but I''ve got the knife almost through....

DH is rolling his eyes and pulling my hand back

It was pretty windy so I took my veil off and then didn''t get it back until the next day. Excuse the bad photo but it did look nice for the hour I wore it!!

 

[just_looking!]

That''s enough for now!! I''ll bore you with a few pics of Venice when I get them down to a postable size..........

I wanted to start off my saying how beautiful you look at your wedding!!

I love the spoons...how sweet of your dad to put so much effort in your wedding! Lucky Girl!

Mmm, that cake looks delicious and I love the modern look of your reception. I'm looking forward to more pics!

 

[just_looking!]

Thanks for all the good wishes!

I think that my Dad is pleased to have finished all the spoons for my wedding, and is enjoying his ''retirement''. He''s not one to sit around doing nothing so we''ll see what the next project is!

The vintage coach ferried some of our guests from the reception to the church and back and we had a vintage Jaguar S Type as the bridal car. I won''t be able to live down the fact that I was 20 mins late, but this was because my mother and maid of honour were still helping me into my dress 15 minutes after the coach was supposed to have left and travelling at 30mph it couldn''t make up the time over the 90 mins it took to get to the church. I was there on time, but it''s not the done thing for the bride to arrive before the guests so we did circuits around the village whilst we waited. The girls from the school admired my dress and waved, but the boys were more interested in the car!

We had three bridesmaids - adult, 9 years and 3 years and they all looked different but coordinated. We also had four ushers in formal dress and the same style for the Dad''s. They all looked very smart! I''ll see if I can find a pic of them all once more photo''s come through. I was really pleased with my dress despite the fact I look a bit chubby in the pictures. I''m now completely spoilt and want all of my clothes custom made!!

The flowers were just what we wanted and the cake was yummy. I''d originally chosen one from a different shop only to be told a month before the wedding that they''d changed the design to one I wasn''t that keen on. It just shows that sometimes these things happen for a reason?

Best wishes for those that are still planning their weddings.

It definitely seems to go by very quickly!!

And I forgot to mention the SPOONS! What a sweet and loving touch--I''m sure every guest felt honored at such favors. Oh, and I love the cute hats that many of your guests wore, so stylish and British looking!

You look so beautiful and happy. I hope you have a long healthy marriage.
Those spoons are incredible.

 

[glaucomflecken]

WOWZA! great pics and what a gorgeous church!

 

[door knob solitaire]

From where I am...in the states...these photos look like a royal wedding! The church, the landscape, the car, it is absolutely fairy tale perfection. The hat worn by a lady...the mens tux, your lovely dress and well everything. You made such a beautiful bride!

Our American weddings can''t compare...forgive me if I offended anyone. We have great ones...just not story book like yours!
Congratulations!!
