Back in the Wedding Swing of Things? Not Quite!

Still got the florist to decide on...what fun! Will get mum involved and make a decision this weekend.

Talking of this weekend, lots of fun things await as we get ready for our menu tasting (YUM big style) and visit to see our vicar, Chris Brown. Already feeling all sorts of Catholic guilt about getting hitched in a CofE church but I don't suppose that ever goes away whatever one does in life - always blame things on the Catholic guilt complex!

Got lots to talk to him about:
Can we have the campanologists (posh word for bell ringers) and can we have them for free or a token fee as surely they must do ring bells for the love of it and not the huge earning potential?

Should have put this one at the top - how much does he charge to officiate at our wedding? Seems wrong in my mind that we should pay for his services but I think in reality we're paying for the administrative process i.e. signing the registar and making it legal as opposed to Chris Brown at x pounds an hour, additional hours charged as double time!!

Is he happy for us to have not particularly gaudy flowers at Advent?

Is he happy for us to include a non-religious reading from my niece? Winnie the Pooh to be precise...well at the moment although plans seem to change constantly with weddings.

Is he happy for us to have a remembrance candle for both Dads?

Again something that should have really come before flowers and music, what actually happens during the service??? How long is it - very essential for planning my time schedule for the day.

SO many things to ask we'll be glad to get to the venue and start eating!!!
