Probably the best cake I've seen and I'm sure others would agree. Yes there is a right and wrong way of displaying the Union Jack; http://projectbritain.com/geography/unionjack7.html
Where was it taken? I've seen that hall when I was browsing online for venues. Looks so elegant, and matches your theme.
We want to do it in the Philippines. There's this church in Malacanang that I always frequent and hopefully we'll have it there in a year or two.
Are you both Catholics, if not is it easy to marry even though you are of different faiths? I remember my brother married a Catholic and our family are Protestants, the service seemed to last forever, not for anyone with a weak bladder
Yes, we both are. Although I think if I have seen the church where we go for Sunday mass before we decided on the venue, I might have had a hard time. It is where my husband was baptized and it's a lovely, small church.
They're typically done after the ceremony. We did ours during the drinks reception. We met up with our guests, chatted with them for a bit, then did the photo shoot.
This was taken in one of the rooms in Manchester Town Hall. Our photographer took it while everyone was having drinks after the ceremony.
The whole thing looked splendid, you have something to beat there young lady, tell your chap to dig deep into his pockets, the benchmark has been set Seriously, its all about enjoying the day, the hard work starts once you are together and living in each others pockets.
I truly believe we can have the best wedding without emptying his bank accounts. I just need to work hard on this. Thanks @Timmers!
Anytime! And I agree about not breaking whoever's bank account for the wedding. It can get expensive so stick to whatever budget you set and compromise. I have tons of ideas for our wedding, some are really wants more than needs so I made sure I saved up and paid for these.
Thanks @BlueberryCheeseCake! We have a vintage/travel themed wedding and so the concept for everything revolved around that. We checked pinterest for travel themed cakes and saw something similar. We just asked our friend to add the flags and the flowers to make it look more like a wedding cake. My husband found the airplane cake topper and decided to use our lego wedding favours cake toppers as well. Worked really well
Ours was cheap and cheerful: I had assumed that Corina wanted to marry in church. She didn't, but was happy to humour me. So I had a word with The Rector, aka Kev The Rev., and he was happy enough, but then the County Registrar's office in Ipswich screwed up, and we had to take the only available slot at Bury St Edmunds Register Office before Corina's visa expired. So that was what we did. g
The groom was nervous... The bride had said that she didn't see the point of a single mother wearing a long white dress - in fact she doesn't see the point of marriage at all; we were only doing it to keep the Borders Agency happy - and had said years before that if she ever was going to get married she would wear shorts and a T shirt. Now Corina and I are a pair of overgrown teenagers and we have the bad habit of saying to each other, "I challenge you to..." So of course, I said it... I actually said "white shorts, a crop top and gogo boots" but the crop top was vetoed on the grounds that (a) it was March (b) there are regulations on permissible attire and (c) stretch marks... So the bride was given away by her English brother in law, who drover her to the wedding in his British Racing Green open top sports car, and at her request came dressed as a Teddy Boy... The Bride came complete with her own Hobbit (his Anglo-Pinoy stepbrothers' joke: Now here is a Thing about Weddings in Britain - for some reason that escapes me, you may not be photohgraphed in the act of Signing The Register. so after you have actually signed it... you get to pretend to do it again with a fake register and a fake pen.. Then you take pictures... a certain amount of posing takes place... including stepchildren if you have any... and you drive to the breakfast, which in our case was the other side of the county, so we did not insist on a bicycle made for two.. There's an Internet Bride in this picture. She's not the one on the right... and you take more photographs, in this case in front of the saloon doors of King Edward VII and King George V's Royal Racing Yacht "Britannia": Our wedding breakfast was simple and small: The Best Man was six thousand miles away, so a mutual friend stood in for him and gave his speech: TheMaid of Honour, who had managed to fly the 6,000 miles, mainly because she was on a course to get the Commercial Endorsement to her Yacht Master's Certificate, and who also managed to catch the bouquet, gave another... but the Bride's speech was even better: there were more photographs.. Then we remembered the cake, which we had made, but we forgot to photograph it... ... and then we went home... We will have the honeymoon later. The bride's outfit came from the Internet apart from the shorts, which were shopped for by the Maid of Honour in Subic Bay. The breakfast was at our yacht club. We had change (but not much change) from £3,000.00 We made our own cake, held the breakfast at my yacht club, did not use a hire car, did not hire morning suits, and drank Prosecco not Champagne. So that's a cheap and cheerful one.
