Welcome to our wedding blog, for all things weddingy. Maybe it will involved into a married people's blog, as I'm sure that's a whole adventure in itself.
We have a church booked and a vicar to perform the ceremony. Nicholas Vesey will be presiding, which I'm looking forward to hugely. His description of what he'd like the ceremony to symbolise was exactly what I was wishing for in my head. It's a pleasent surprise when vicars agree with one! He said something along the lines of it being a truly spiritual union, which I think Ben and I are on our way to already. (I think you have to be on your way to consider getting married).
The church will be St Luke's on Aylsham Road (I feel like we're invading the blogoshere's church!) as for some reason St Augustine's doesn't hold weddings.
I'm quite at ease with the ceremony part of the day now. I'm looking forward to us meeting with Nicholas and planning the service. It will be the most important part of the day, and I'm glad God has provided us with a church leader who is supportive and has similar aims to us.
The reception is still booked for Wensum Valley Hotel. That's the part of the day I don't feel so easy about, it seems such a huge fuss and expense. Dad has offered to pay for the hwole thing but it still doesn't seem right spending a huge sum, even if it isn't our money! But there will be guests who have travelled from afar and it will be nice to cater for them properly.
Think that's all for now!
