That shouldn’t be a remarkable statement, but of course it is. It’s been a strange summer: the promise of normal life returning hasn’t quite materialised. Instead it has felt tentative, cautious. So I wasn’t sure how this big social event would feel. There was no cap on numbers, no social distancing, no miserable insistence on everything being outside, despite the season’s atrocious weather. It was a proper wedding, in the old style. And it was wonderful.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">After 18 months of deprivation, I forgot what it was like to feel part of a community. Robbed of really celebrating these major life milestones – birthdays and anniversaries, births and christenings, weddings and funerals – life has felt atomised and dreary. That sense of connection you get from being around other human beings, including those you don’t know well, has been absent. So a huge, unapologetic, exuberant wedding was always going to be quite the experience.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><span><a class="oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl py34i1dx gpro0wi8" href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/aug/21/weddings-back-speeches-tears-dancing-social" rel="nofollow noopener" role="link" tabindex="0" target="_blank">Read more</a></span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><span><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/aug/21/weddings-back-speeches-tears-dancing-social" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="394" data-original-width="619" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJdc25hV6vIb7gIbhuleoTiKogVravZdnZmC1Xh3T4uN-yMnGwL5zVrLf8wgKxw8z3n6aUBJWY0puHya-WitNkYLlTeW5wJRw2OQQdiy6BWKCU7DIhP7O_Nz8At2I54a63nORH9H9LFCJ-/w400-h255/Weddings+-+Guardian.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span></span></div></div></span></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965650257618654788.post-24619849035143681112021-07-24T21:16:00.000+01:002021-07-24T21:16:52.278+01:00The Ceremony - Where & When?<b>There are a number of points
to consider when planning the date and venue of the ceremony. </b><br />
<br />
* Is the
marriage based on religious grounds?<br />
* Do you want to be married in the
eyes of God?<br />
* If you have no religious beliefs you may consider a civil
ceremony, perhaps followed by a blessing.<br />

one of the biggest spends will be on the food you will be serving to your
guests. Therefore, choosing the right wedding caterer will prove to be an
important step in making sure you have a memorable event.<br />
<br />
Often, caterers will have a variety of foods that they offer, yet they are
able to specialise in a certain type of cuisine. If you happen to have a
particular theme in mind, or you are using a motif that speaks of a certain era,
you might want to find a caterer that specialises in that required taste.<br />

The cake is traditionally cut after the speeches and toasts, and would
normally conclude the formal part of the wedding reception. It was
believed, in order for the bride to bear children, she (with the help of
her groom) should cut the first slice. Today the first cut is more
symbolic to the couple's shared future together. The couple would
normally pose for photographs just prior to cutting the first slice,
allowing guests to take snaps of the occasion. The cake is said to
spread good fortune to all who eat it, hence the reason for sending a
slice to all those who were unable to attend the wedding.<br /><br />
