Being Pert
I’ve obviously managed too many projects. I’m trying to keep a light touch (ideally no touch) on this one – but I always feel I have to give some paternal advice where I think it might be needed, and hope that it might help. B was struggling, trying to work out with her mother, if […]

If music be the food of love…
how much should there be at a wedding? Copious amounts, obviously. The potential opportunities are almost limitless and being blessed with friends and neighbours with musical leanings (and I mean professional & semi-professional quality here) then we should be able to summon up a pool of talent able to last the whole night long. Hooray, […]

The Wedding Fayre
I have only been to one wedding fair and I don’t think that really counts. I wasn’t meant to go along, but C had to get back home for something sporty and important which meant B and MOB couldn’t go in the same car and anyway Bridesmaid 1 (BM1) also wanted to go… confused – […]

Where in the world […]

The big picture
I am learning, weddings appear to be evolving on a daily basis – or maybe I’m getting old and am no longer able to adapt to the fast pace of change in the modern world. No sooner had the wedding been announced when I was informed the date had changed. Had they reconsidered their hasty […]

A wedding is announced…
I should have started this a year ago, if not before then, but better late than never. Having already planned and executed one wedding I’m experienced. I know what’s needed – venue, catering, transport, cameras, guests… so I knew what I was letting myself in for when daughter (let’s call her B… as in Bridezilla) […]

In the beginning
All this is my brother’s fault, or maybe my mother’s.
Maybe I could write a blog about the forthcoming wedding from my unique perspective.
