DMcG, did your daughter manage to get her flowers sorted ok?

She got some flowers, but neither the quantity nor intended style.   It ended up as essentially a bouquet and some round an arch in a garden which the groom's dad built, plus some small table decorations she made herself.

As I said, it was a somewhat fraught affair as we did not know who would be able to make it. Bride and groom were supposed to be an a formal interview at 11:30, prior to the noon service, but we were all gathered round at about twenty to, hearing text messages "SatNav is estimating I will be there about ten past twelve" and so on. Just on noon he came running up to the hall. His parents did not arrive until about ten past, but we had to start late because of the legally required interview of the bride and groom.   Both delays there were because a section of the motorway was blocked after an accident.

Apart form a slight need to dodge the next set of people arriving, it went quite smoothly after that.

Until we found the venue in the evening had double booked an 18th birthday event at the same time. Different areas, but next to each other and we had to walk through theirs to get to the bar. Not neat.

But at the 5th attempt, thanks to covid, we got there in the end!
