Wedding Stuff

Today we're looking at the place under consideration for the October wedding. It's the same place the EC used for her reception. We cannot use the same place she used for her wedding because it seats at least fifty fewer people. The HG, who always wanted a small wedding, notes that five siblings as bridesmaids is already not small, and Strider has lived in the same area nearly all his life and been a member of the same 200 plus member congregation for 18 years.

The idea (all still tentative) is to have the wedding at the community center, but to use the historical home for the 'ready room' (it shares a grassy verge with the community center), and for photographs.

The HG has her dress already. It cost twenty dollars and needs a few alterations that Jenny says she can do. The bridesmaids will probably be wearing regency dresses adapted from sensibility.com's patterns. Jenny has made several of these, so she says it will be easy, and she will adapt the pattern to raise the neckline and make the sleeves 3/4. There's one that Jenny made pictured here (we have another post with a better picture but I can't find it).

Gotta run. Pin It
