Congratulations to your niece and new hubby. The description of the ceremony bears a lot of resemblance to the new style secular funerals where I feel there is so much missing and a traditional church wedding, even if you are not religious yourself, makes it a far more memorable occasion. OK I am a church goer so may be biased and there again I have never tied to knot.

Many congratulations to the happy finally weds.
I can imagine that members of your families have been awaiting your account with bated breath. I think you did them proud.

The band at my daughter's wedding were far too loud - it is a family gathering after all. When asked to turn it down, I had to say that the money I was paying them actually came from myself working, & they were quite surprised, D'Oh!!! He who pays the piper calls the tune... The wedding co-ordinator the next day said this was the first wedding without complaints from the neighbours!

davews, I can assure you that for an atheist, marrying in a church would be an anathema. Each to their own.

Blue Witch - we were, he did. Nearly as good as my speech :-)

Congratulations to the happy couple ... and congratulations to you on introducing the phrase "vigorous romantic visuals" into today's post!

bblb - I'm wondering whether the ':-)' is sibling rivalry or an admission that the writing of your speech was outsourced?
I'd also like to know how DG took the news that your daughter's/his niece's wedding was to be one hundred years and one day after your grandparents'? ;)

Oh how lovely.
It's tricky for siblings to make their day different yet still special when they get married close together, but from the write ups both your nephew and nieces celebrations ticked all the boxes.
Best wishes to the newlyweds.

Blue witch - all my own words. BB's only involvement was telling me about the century a couple of days before. I managed to mention it along with a reference to buses to keep him happy.

A lovely account of a memorable day; many congratulations to all concerned.
It all sounded rather charming, unlike the plans one of mine has in 2026 to be married in a famous town hall, in a city neither has any connections to (beyond commuting there for work) and a reception venue straight out of a 'reality' TV series! My thoughts have stayed firmly under wraps, but I can imagine my late mother muttering "All their taste is in their mouth".

I agree with all the above favourable comments. You are so skilled at sharing enough fascinating information to keep most of your audience enthralled, while also respecting your own, and other people's privacy. It's quite a tightrope, but you walk it very deftly.

Congratulations to your niece and new hubby. If that's the same church where my aunt’s funeral service was held last year, it’s a lovely little church.

Warmest wishes to your niece and her fella, how wonderful they'll have your blog to look back on, too!
