Re: The happiest day of your life

My Wedding, though not in a church was one of frugality.
I chose an oatmeal suit......something practical that I could wear over and over again(and did) for my outfit.......my corsage was donated by a friend......it cost 17shillings and sixpence to get married....£2 for the taxi to the register office(and we all went in the one taxi..five of us).....our wedding feast if you could call it that, was lancashire cheese butties, battenburg cake and a bottle of sparkling wine left over from a friends wedding.

44 years on, we are still together. It isn't all about the big show, it is about the feelings you have for each other and the committment you make. If I could go back and have all the finery....well, I wouldn't.
