Our family had the pleasure of attending our young friend's wedding at Church yesterday. They made the service extra special by writing their vows of commitment to each other, it's so much nicer when they are personalised and mean more to the couple.
The wedding was simple and a frugal delight as the reception was held on the same site as the wedding, in the church hall which saved driving miles. The photographs were taken outside the Manse and on the lawn. The meal was a hog roast and buffet which guests added to the spread by bringing food. The feature on the dessert table was a chocolate fountain where we took wooden skewers and selected from fresh strawberries, banana and marshmallows then covered them in creamy white chocolate, yum.
It was a real family wedding, the highlight for the children being the large bouncy castles at the reception owned by the Bride's family. The Church venue was free as the Bride and Groom are members there and the pianist was a friend too. The order of service cards were printed in colour by home computer. The flowers looked professional but were arranged by friends as was the tiered wedding cake. Church friends were waitresses too. Plates and cutlery were disposable which saved anyone washing up. The open top Mercedes was loaned by another friend and looked great.
For the evening reception friends and family travelled just a few miles to the nearby country inn which has an amazing play park where again the children had a fabulous time playing while the adults chatted over their drinks. No disco/dance, food etc so quite cheap but a good social time. The Bride and Groom stayed here for their wedding night after all the guests had left and enjoyed a free fried breakfast the next morning.
