The Church

We have chosen 'St Mary's Church' to host our wedding ceremony. This beautiful church is over a thousand years old and just a short distance from the reception venue (Fennes).

The service will be conducted by 'Reverend Tim Barnes' at 1:30pm.

A map to the church is included below and you can also visit http://www.stmarys-bocking.co.uk for more information. We expect the service to last approximately 45 minutes with photos taken directly afterwards.

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 u...

Meeting The Reverend

So this weekend we met 'Reverend Phillip Need' to see if we can marry at St Mary's Church. Quite a big deal, he's the decision maker here! The meeting went well and he seemed quite a pleasant bloke. Provisional booking is confirmed and our service will be at 1:30pm. As expected, we need to start showing our face at church on Sundays. This isn't too bad and he said once a month would be sufficient. Absolutely no problem with this arrangement. We both went to church when we were younger, it's no big deal. We will need to fine tune the details of our service at some point, hymns, readings, organist etc etc. We also need to get in touch with our local church in 'Black Notley' so our bands can be read. This is a traditional church procedure where our pending marriage is announced at the church, in case there any local objection. Bit like planning permission!

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.
