Everyone knows what time of the year this is and I’m sure there are many young women out there dreaming of being a June bride. Although many couples are getting away from the more traditional and opting for more unique times of the year, venue, and themes. I was married by a JP so I missed all the fun of planning or maybe they are considered headaches of having that perfect wedding day.
Even though I didn’t have a beautiful wedding I have been to many since then and when I did banquets I also served at many receptions. I love receptions that’s when you can really let your hair down and breath a big sigh of relief that everything went as planned, hopefully everything did. I remember one reception I attended where the Mother of the bride was handed the bill and she passed out.
We later learned that it wasn’t the amount of the bill, but simply sheer nerves and stress that she had been under to pull the whole thing off and since it was almost over she collapsed. It wasn’t funny, but it is now in retrospect. When one of my best friends got married the 3rd time to someone much younger she insisted on black and white for her wedding or funeral as she called it.
She had such a weird sense of humor, but at least she wore white, but she had the weirdest invitations with a casket on them. Imagine receiving one of those in the mail. Everyone of course is free to plan their wedding as they choose and besides the invitations and half the wedding cake hitting the floor everything else was lovely. I was just looking at some 1st Class Wedding Invitations and there is a new feature called ZOOM that I haven’t seen on other invitation sites.
When you click to view a card a little white square comes up and you can move it all over the card to view an area in detail. That is a convenient way to see all the details in any given area. They have some beautiful invitations and I was choosing the kind that I probably would have had for my wedding. I like to do that some times since I didn’t get to have one.
Once I planned my wedding to the very last detail and had costs of everything and a list of all my guest, but of course it was only make believe. My taste usually runs very simple, but I like a touch of elegance and class even though I’m very down to earth. This is the invitation I chose for my pretend wedding. They had so many beautiful ones to choose from, but the one below is more my taste.
