Marrying Right
It started with the dress. I didn’t want to wear white – the virginal, innocent bride, handed over to her new owner by her father. Excuse me while I vomit.
Then Tom said if I wasn’t being conventional, he’d ditch the whole suit getup and pick up a new party shirt.
We told the guests “dress as yourself” and substituted the floral arrangements with balloons and string lights.
Then we started designing the cake. By the time we were done it looked like the campervan my Gran lived in during the 60s.
That gave us an idea for the honeymoon…
Extroduction
They say every little girl dreams of her wedding day, and every woman has plans. It wasn’t like that for me, but I did find I cared more about the details than I’d expected when it came down to it. In most elements, we were fairly traditional, but the bits I remember most are where we strayed from convention and expressed ourselves. The couple in my story have done that throughout, and I personally believe their wedding and marriage that follows can be better for it.
