A Lovely Wedding.
26 Oct 2008 05:44 pmWell, despite the storm, the wedding I went to yesterday went really well. The little Methodist chapel is right on the roadside, and so only a few steps from car to door for the main participants, fortunately.
The chapel was full to overflowing - it holds about 100 at a squeeze, and this was a squeeze! I said yesterday that as the groom is approaching 65, and his bride only about seven years younger, she was unlikely to have a ten foot veil and train... well she didn't have the veil, but she had the most beautiful dress with a train - which she managed to keep clean throughout out the whole event!
The bestman had been at school with the groom, the matron of honour with the bride. The singing was glorious - so many assorted clergy and free-church people in a small chapel!!
There was a string quartet at the reception, held in a hotel right down on the sea-front - you can tell what the weather was like if you look at the window in the 'cutting the cake' picture!
The whole wedding was a joyous event, and it was a privilege to have been at it.
Below the cut are five or six pictures that I put together for the church website - so for how to look a perfect bride in your fifties
