I hadn't even planned on inviting him because I've not actually heard from him since Dad's funeral in 2009 and even then his wife made a nasty comment about us not having a proper collection when we were stood at the crematorium door thanking people for coming to the funeral
Anyway, enough about them, onwards and upwards.
My mission for today is to try and find a nice cake topper that doesn't cost the earth
I'd love to be able to get one of those personalised ones where the groom has a football shirt on, but I can't afford £50 or more, so I'm just going to have a look and see what catches my eye.
The invitations are all finished now, so other than the keepsake one for my mum, I just need to wait on the velcro dots to be delivered next week to securely close them and for Chris to get 12 more 2nd class stamps for the rsvps and they'll be good to go
I ordered 5 lucky sixpences yesterday and I'm thinking of adapting a poem to attatch to the little plastic wallet
This is the original poem
You are so very young
But as the years pass by
And you'll be a bride
In the blink of an eye
While you may not remember
The day that we married
The part that you played
Or the flowers that you carried
There will be a day that
Will burn like an ember
The day you will wed
You will always remember
So here is a hanky
For the day you say
"I need something old for my wedding day"
And this is what I was thinking of doing
You are so very young
But as the years pass by
And you'll be a bride
In the blink of an eye
While you may not remember
The day that we wed
The part that you played
Or the walk that you led
There will be a day that
Will burn like an ember
The day you will wed
You will always remember
So here is a lucky sixpence
For the day that you say
"I need something old for my wedding day"
