Suited and booted!

So the wedding suits have been selected and another stress alleviated. We took a short local visit to 'Savoy Taylors Guild' and they were very helpful. We now have five very nice suits coming our way. Seriously, we must have seen every combination of cravat, waistcoat and jacket going!

The suits are a traditional look, with purple 'Tollo' cravats to match the bridesmaid (although it looks blue in the picture). The groom will be wearing an 'Ivory' cravat to match his bride. The suit is a classic black affair with a white buttoned waistcoat.

Impressively they issue individual booking codes to the groom and groomsmen. This means everyone in the party can get measured in their own time at any store! This will save plenty of time and hassle. They even dry clean it afterwards, result!

* Bit of news on the vicar front. We will now be married by 'Reverend Tim Barnes' at St Mary's Church in Bocking. Unfortunately 'Reverend Phillip Need' was unavailable this day. Not a massive problem and we've already been to Tim's house and he seems very nice.

Picking the wedding breakfast

So this weekend our a 'wedding pack' arrived from Fennes. The next big decision is picking the food selection for some 87 guests. This isn't a simple task. We have multiple choices and categories for starters, mains and dessert. We are proud carnivores so the vegetarians will have to put up with our meat selections and eat their greens. Chicken Caesar salad looks like a good choice of starter and with a roast turkey main course. The problem will be dessert. Who knows what to pick here? Cheesecake? Profiteroles?

Booking The Wedding Car

Interesting weekend and another box ticked for the wedding preparations. It was a short trip to Cressing to check out some wedding cars. A nice fella called Ian Nixon showed us his vast array of classic motors. Quite a collection! We were spoilt for choice, but eventually decided on a vintage 'Rolls Royce' (see picture). The car has loads of history and once belonged to a very posh lady who lived on Sloane Square. It then spent some time in America and will now chauffeur the next Mr & Mrs Pethers! Very comfortable seats and we can't wait to sip some champagne in the back. Come the big day, we'll take the long route back to Fennes to enjoy the car a bit longer. It should look fantastic in the pictures too.
