Apologies for banging on about it
But the sisters ( and their spouses)
Came around this evening for the first " wedding" brainstorming session
This " action shot" is of them flicking through wedding mags
I love janet and Ann's ideas for decorating the village hall already
Jam jars with spring flowers
Cream scones and bacon butties
( there are no dogs in this photo as Winifred over excited herself with the female company and had to be led away to the kitchen with the others to lay down in a darkened room)
You know, John, this will be your easiest gig ever. Stand back and let it happen.
ReplyDeleteYep, just let the women loose. :)
ReplyDeleteBang on about it as often as you like. In case you hadn't notice we are interested. A big and exciting day deserves some banging on.
ReplyDeleteno scotch eggs?
ReplyDeleteA large bowl of scotch eggs..will be there
Deletethank goodness...I was worried for a moment there!
DeleteI was hoping they would be the wedding favor!
DeleteBacon Butties?
ReplyDeleteReconsider John! I think I love you!
Stop it, Lady. I don't "think" I love John. I KNOW I love John. John is MINE.
DeleteTo keep the peace: Maybe we can carve him up and share him around. So we all get a bite.
U
what's a bacon buttie?
ReplyDeleteand feel free to update us on the wedding plans; it's YOUR blog and YOUR wedding, after all! chris looks bored though.
your sisters are pretty.
Bacon sandwich
DeleteBACON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteWhat a great shot - and keep "banging" on - I'm loving the wedding posts (and I knew about bacon butties because of Onslow! ;)
ReplyDeleteOff to a good start John! Keep banging on.....please!
ReplyDeleteAs your sisters were in horizontal stripes - I trust that you were also wearing a Breton sailor's outfit.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Why is Chris asleep?
Good luck and many more happy years together!
ReplyDeleteI love that your sisters dress alike!
ReplyDeleteJane x
I found a link to this place on Joanne N.'s blogroll.
ReplyDeleteBrainstorms are better with big flashes of lightning shooting around the room. Hey could you tell me (non-Brit) what a bacon buttie is? Sounds like something you might do on a farm.
nothing more exciting than a bacon sandwich I'm afraid.

DeleteHello bill nice to have you aboard
DeleteWinnie couldn't handle the competition. Sometimes ladies are like that.
ReplyDeleteI have suggestions for you John because I would love to design a man wedding. Paper lanterns....dozens...all in one color but various shades...oh...and how about bunting....I love bunting.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the wedding posts.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Janet again.
How cute about Winifred, and your wedding plans are shaping up. I like the flowers in jars idea, and simplicity. And I am pleased to say I know what a bacon buttie is, from watching so much British tv, here in California.
ReplyDeleteLove the ideas of the jam jars and flowers.... more to think about
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
In The Vicar of Dibley, at Alice's wedding she had her 'pageboys' dressed as Telly Tubbies. I trust something equally unforgettable is being planned!
ReplyDeleteBrain storming implies the requirement for a brain, therefore I would be hopeless at it.
ReplyDeleteI hope there is bunting, and games for small visitors
ReplyDeleteWe had a bouncy castle for the kids and karaoke for the adults, classy or what? free and fun as both donated by friends for the day x
ReplyDeletekeep banging on as loveing it so excited i am going to shut myself in a dark room with winnie ho and some treets
ReplyDeletePoor Winnie she only wanted to put her two bits in about her bridesmaid dress!
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing stripes too. I love spotting all the different blue & white stripey tops this summer.
ReplyDeleteSounds divine. Jam jars perfect. Bunting, & a stick tree to hang labels with messages on for you to keep.
Bang on as much as you like, The more the better. Jam jars, butties, scones plus sausage rolls and scotch eggs, I hope. And bunting. Rustic theme, very suitable.
ReplyDeleteAnd lots of champagne........
ReplyDeleteWith so many people helping out, the big day should be a great success. Especially if there's plenty of champagne, wedding cake and fancy outfits.
ReplyDeleteOne of my (English) husband's conditions on proposing to me (in Paris) that we marry asap (within three months). Him having witnessed his own sister's wedding preparations he couldn't face a long engagement. After his mother had calmed down at the prospect of not being given a lot of time to flap around everything was fine.
ReplyDeleteStill, you are both guys - and I chose the letter 'u' deliberately, so you'll be measured throughout the process. Sisters notwithstanding.
As to Winifred and women: It's the one thing I don't like about dogs. Sniffing your crotch. Uninvited. It's downright rude.
U
ANYTHING with bacon.
ReplyDeleteLoving the idea of flowers in jam jars!
ReplyDeletefairy lights everywhere!
ReplyDeleteLove the plans and décor! It is coming together....Saw these ideas also on Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteDecades of dreaming that marriage might be possible, enjoy it, do what you want, set your own rules.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Scotch Eggs and Champagne ... lots of champagne :-)
ReplyDeleteYou really need to work on this list ... Lol
Bang on and on......for it's over before you can blink......Men in Kilts over at mine (jam jars with Spring flowers on either side of path leading up to the Church door is what we had and they looked charming).Need any help, gies (pronounced 'gees', short for 'give us') a shout. x
ReplyDeleteBacon butties?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
See above
DeleteI really do mean it about the bunting. Probably without medical equipment fabrics included! Just tell me your colour scheme (no wedding is complete without a colour scheme!)
ReplyDeleteI can crochet him some too, if it's the 'Larkrise to Candleford' look they're aiming for. Just don't ask him to wear a crown of seasonal flowers around his bonce (head)!
DeleteOh I wish you would xx
DeleteDoes the groom-to-be always have that nose-in-the-air snooty superior look about him? I imagine he thinks that you are exceptionally lucky to be getting him and is presuming some sort of dowry will be paid to him for accepting you.
ReplyDeleteGot it in one andrew
DeleteAh, but does he know the dowry is in the form of livestock?
