Online Shop| Don and Caroline August 1999 How did you meet? At work and then got together at a colleague's party. Describe the marriage proposal. In a jacuzzi, in a hotel… he went down on one knee and nearly drowned! How long did you spend preparing for the day and how was it? A year. But most of it was done by my (the bride's) mother, queen of the photocopied lists! What type of wedding ceremony did you have and where? We had a Roman Catholic ceremony in my parents' parish Where did you hold your reception and what was it like? We had drinks and canapés on the lawns of a lovely hotel in the Wye Valley, with a flute and harp playing; then a sit-down lunch with Wye Valley salmon; then an evening reception with a disco and hog roast. It was a boiling hot day, a beautiful location - and everyone loved it! Thinking back to the 'big day' what things did you especially enjoy? After the disco ended we all retired to the bar and had a sing-song, which was hilarious. Is there anything you'd change, with hindsight? I'd have worried less beforehand. What advice would you give to couples currently planning their wedding? Manage your photographer well - ours took ages and held everything up, as well as coaxing us into poses we didn't really want. You just don't feel you can assert yourself on the day - so agree what you want in detail beforehand and put it in writing. Take care with your hairdresser too. Mine was terrible! She double-booked the salon and even though I'd travelled home specifically to have two practices beforehand, she greeted me on the morning of my wedding with 'Now what was I going to do again..?' At the time, I felt like crying. Get your hairdresser to make notes. Better still, get her to come to your home. |
