The Date

As we were coming up with lots of ideas we wanted to use for our wedding we were quite anxious to set a date. We are limited to school holidays as Mark is a teacher. We looked into the costs of registry office weddings, hotels and churches. I was not actually too fussed about where we have the wedding. The point for me is that we are getting married and that is the most important part. I do go to church and so God is important to me but I believe God is everywhere not just in churches! Mark seemed to be favouring the idea of a church wedding although the other option was Weybridge registry office. Hotels are way too out of our budget!

We decided to look further into a church wedding. I have been married before so I was a bit concerned about whether a church would marry me. There is a beautiful C of E parish church round the corner to our house and I help out with their youth group on a Monday night so have connections with it. I tried to contact the vicar and this took longer than I wanted! It took him three weeks to get back to us but luckily we managed to meet him last week and set the date.

The church will marry me as long as I can prove my relationship with Mark is not what caused the break down of my previous marriage. That's an easy one to prove as I separated from previous husband 8 yrs ago and met Mark for the first time 2 yrs ago!

So yes the date.....

It is going to be during the middle of the Easter Holidays so that we can both have time off work the week leading up to it and the week after. It is:

Friday 11 April

And it is going to be here:
