Hello, Crafters.
I hope you’ve had a great weekend and are starting this new week fully refreshed! Today I’m sharing some of my wedding photographs with you. We had an absolutely amazing day, and the memories make it feel as if it was yesterday! I’ve decided I’ll pick out my favourite photographs, and add a brief caption to each. This isn’t going to be an easy task because there are 336 photographs! Here goes:
Othman arriving, with son-in-law and best man Leigh, at the Mansion in Leatherhead for the ceremony.
With my son Leigh, known as LD, ready to enter the Mansion.
The moment Othman saw me as I was about to enter the room, with Leigh.
Exchanging rings – Othman to me.
Exchanging rings – me to Othman.
Daughter Vicki, read one of our two chosen readings. The second one was read by son-in-law Leigh but there isn’t a photograph.
The moment Othman started to relax! We’re now husband and wife!
I found out later that Vicki, on the left and Molly in black, were both in tears during the ceremony! Left to right: Vicki, back of Ben’s head, Ella, Amy, back of Libby’s head, Jack, Molly, Stephen, and Jess.
Signing the register!
In the conservatory at the Mansion. Our photographer Eva, stood back for a few minutes to let guests takesome photographs of their own.
Just the two of us in the conservatory.
A brilliant photogarph set up by Eva. Unfortunately, Othman didn’t keep his mouth closed and caught a mouthful of confetti!
Arriving at the hotel with Othman at the wheel of my car.
A very clever shot by Eva: through my car wing mirror!
Othman and I at the entrance to the hotel. I had asked if she’d take a photograph of Othman carrying me over the threshold!
Othman started playing around and couldn’t pick me up! LOL! One of my favourite photographs!
We booked a harpist to provide music for our wedding breakfast – she was brilliant. Apparently, she has played at functions for our Queen.
Ladies favour boxes – I used the retired Curvy Keepsake Box and decosrated it with small punched flowers with a small pearl in the centre of each.
Same favour boxes for the men but with cogs instead of flowers.
On the hotel’s bridal swing. I didn’t feel very safe – I thought I was going to slide off! Not my best face! LOL!
This was a lot more comfortable!
How we had the Drawing Room “dressed”.
I made one of these for all the guests to remind them of the meal they chose and also as an aid to the waiting staff.
As previous photograph.
I decorated the reverse of the place names with a Glimmer Paper heart.
I knew he could do it!
Woodlands Park Hotel, Cobham.
Son, Leigh and daughter Vicki.
There was certainly a lot of kissing on the day! LOL!
Relaxing after the wedding breakfast with LD.
Othman relaxing, too!
Cutting the fabulous wedding cake Othman had made! That’s about it! Although I would have liked to introduce you to my family, I didn’t want to show any photographs of the children, so I gave most of my family a wide-berth! I know you’ll understand my caution. I look forward to being back with you tomorrow. In the meantime, happy crafting.

Many thanks, Terry. Calling Othman hubby is something that happened gradually over the last ten years or so. I didn’t give it any thught because I didn’t think we’d ever get married! Certainly not after being together for twenty years anyway!! We’re a good example of not knowing what’s round the corner! We had the most amazing day! JanB. xx

Congratulations to you and Othman. It looks like it was a wonderful day, and loved that you shared all the details of the lovely things you made for the day, especially the cake. I’ve made wedding cakes for family weddings, and I think it’s great that Othman baked the cake. What a wonderful, memorable, personal touch! Best wishes for a long and happy marriage.
Many thanks, Mary. I have to confess that when Othman first said he was going to make the cake, I thought he had to be joking! But he couldn’t have been more serious! And the cake was gorgeous! It was a really amazing day! JanB. xx
