Despite Cat’s incredible organisation and planning, there
has been a LOT to do. Shopping for ribbon and paper; wrapping up wedding
favours which are doubling as place labels, so innovative; shopping for a
suitable shirt for the bride’s father – Someone forgot to pack one... and all
kinds of other ‘useful’ things.
Cat and Andy have wanted their wedding to be God-honouring,
Inclusive and Fun. I have lost count of how many friends and family are involved
in the catering, music, flowers, electrics... even conducting the ceremony itself. #spreadsheets #itineraries #listsoflists
#somuchorganisation.
The reception is being held in a marquee at the edge of the
harbour – a challenge in itself. Cat’s giftedness and experience in event
management has come to the fore and everything is being planned down to the
last detail. So far, it has taken us only four hours to plan the Day itself,
down, in places, to five minutes....
Inbetween, we have chatted over cups of coffee and delicious
cakes in cafés; discussed the wedding cake itself; and brought The Dress home.
No photos, though I took dozens during the fitting. She will be such a
beautiful, glowing bride.
And here we are. In Ohope, the Bay of Plenty. NZ’s favourite
beach...
Despite a horrid, debilitating cough so thoughtfully shared
by my colleagues back at school #noenergy
#constantcough #tiredallthetime,
I walked across the road to the beach.
