I was back down in Fife yesterday, this time to celebrate my friend's daughter's Bride To Be status! Natalie and Chris wanted to get married in 2020, but couldn't find a venue. Then of course Covid came along and they booked everything for 2021, but that was not to be. They will finally be tying the knot in two weeks time, a little bit later than intended. I've never heard of a pre-wedding celebration lunch before (other than the more traditional 'hen' party), but it was a lovely day out with friends, old and young.
I have never heard of such a thing either, but what a great idea! We had our evening reception 6 weeks after our wedding so that we could invite more people and I got to wear the dress again! Lovely photo
What a special way to celebrate! New to me as well, but it's a wonderful tradition. I imagine it's calmer for the bride than the actual wedding day so easier to visit with close friends and family.
Natalie is practising her cake cutting technique! I’m all for any excuse for a meet up with cake. It’s been so difficult for brides to be….we know one who paid the deposit three years ago to be married two years ago. In the meantime has had a baby & getting married in mid June but the venue wouldn’t refund their money so have to stick with the original place even though the wedding isn’t going to be as big & they would have chosen another place.
Sounds like a less stress-filled idea and fun for more than just the ladies. Love the close-up on the hands and the black and white format- very elegant!
