Preparations for Anna's wedding

Two weekends ago I went to a town north of here to help a family prepare for their daughter's wedding. I had been their bridesmaid 30 something years ago! This was what we were preparing for. Note the chandeliers on the roof of the marquee!

We covered 180 chairs and tied bows on the back!

If you think we were a bit strained, it is because the Mum had just accidently served a museum quality bottle of Moet( that belonged to the bride and groom) to a casual visitor! I refused a glass in favour of a cup of tea! Such unsophisticated chicks that we are!

We ran out of ribbon for the place names and service booklets, and none was left in town, so guests bought it in other towns in the state and brought it with them as they came to the wedding.

I attended the wedding, and the brunch the next day before I returned home by car with a cousin and his wife. It was good to be part of this, as we had some interesting and fun times.
