Yesterday we went to a wedding. It was Julie Mettrick - the daughter of a golfing mate of Duncan's. The ceremony was in Holy Trinity church then out to the beautiful gardens at Bushmere Arms. There were quite a lot of young people in the congregation and I was a little taken aback by their lack of church ettiquette. Phones beeped, people took photos during the prayers, they didn't know when to stand - eg for the hymn, which very few even attempted to sing. Even bowing your head for a prayer - and only a few seemed to know the Lords Prayer. However the marriage was successfully concluded. The brides dress was white lace in a 60's style with afitted bodice, satin belt and flared skirt. She had also done her hair in a bouffant style with a little chignon at the back. It was a brilliant concept and so different from anything else I've seen lately.
A good night was had by all, and now Duncan and I have just had little naps - midnight is getting late for us old codgers!!
