I've been to some weddings that were really good, and some that were pretty dull. One had a chocolate fountain though which was good!


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Catholic wedding seem to be the longest, and yes receptions are usually a lot of fun!!!
I got married at the courthouse however, I wasn't really into planning a wedding, and I already had 2 of my 3 kids, so I felt kind of silly planning a big fat wedding :-) and I have no regrets!


message 53: by Tati (new)

Tati I wouldn't marry in a church, I don't think. But still, I love the imagery, and the gowns... If only the priest would be quicker about it LOL

I think my mother will have a big say in where I get married (when I do), I'm not likely to be allowed to have a beach wedding!


message 55: by Tati (new)

Tati Hasn't she had her turn already? LOL


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) My parents were thrilled I didn't have an expensive big wedding ;-)

My mum is quite controlling, I'll never get away with not doing what she wants!


message 58: by Tati (new)

Tati Mine is as well...


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) I have a controlling father, who really did not want to spend any money on a wedding.

That sounds a bit mean, although I wouldn't want to spend the amount some people spend. We've had invites which looked like they'd have cost a fortune on their own!


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) My dad is extremely generous, however if he thinks something is frivolous are unnecessary, he definitely does not want to spend money on it.
Like all my kids need to do is mention to him they want something, and the next day it arrives at my house from Amazon, I need to tell him sometimes not to get them things because I need to buy them something for Christmas or birthday :-)


message 62: by Tati (new)

Tati I saw something funny the other day, it was a post or tweet or something:

Mother: You're not getting any more gifts until you get rid of some of your stuff!

Grandmother: here are a 1,000 gifts just for existing

I think my gran had a plate like that which said 'if mother says no, ask grandmother'


message 65: by Tati (new)

Tati Too bad my grandmother would always ask my mother if it was okay... LOL

Oh dear ☹


message 67: by Tati (new)

Tati But now that I'm old enough to make my own decisions, she spoils me!


message 68: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
Ah, that's good ☺


message 69: by Tati (new)

Tati Oh, I'm not complaining! In fact, I'll spend Carnival at her place, just for that, to be spoiled


message 70: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
That should be nice ☺ My gran has gotten to the point where we have to look after her now. She's basically blind which makes things really difficult.


message 71: by Tati (new)

Tati Oh yes! A lot of reading tends to get done whenever I spend a few days there, thanks to the fact that I'm usually left alone to read


message 72: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
That should be good for the challenge then ☺

Danielle ♥ (readwithmedani) | 2410 comments My plans so far:

#9. Makeup/jewelry on the cover Shopaholic and Sister (Shopaholic, #4) by Sophie Kinsella one of the editions has jewelry on the cover.

#16. Perfect wedding weather Mini Shopaholic (Shopaholic Book 6) by Sophie Kinsella , perfect blue skies, a breeze, sunshine, doesn't look too hot, but definitely not cold either!

#22. Gift(s) or invitation(s) on the cover Shopaholic & Baby (Shopaholic, #5) by Sophie Kinsella .

#23. Wedding themed title Shopaholic Ties the Knot (Shopaholic, #3) by Sophie Kinsella Shopaholic Ties the Knot

#29. Shoes on the cover/in the title Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic, #1) by Sophie Kinsella

#30. Location for a honeymoon Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (Shopaholic, #2) by Sophie Kinsella - I would totally honeymoon in Manhattan!

Sarah can you verify my choices (specifically wondering about #16) are all acceptable & I will look for buddies! :)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) I'm flexible, so I can just fill in where needed, it is a lot easier for me just to plan as I go, because I am not a planner by nature :-)

Tati I'm not committing to anything else for now LOL

Danielle ♥ (readwithmedani) | 2410 comments For tracking, do you girls want to see all the rounds in one post? Or, one post per round?

i.e. All in one post:
Part 2 - The Ceremony
11. A venue for a wedding
A. The Guardian - Noella (BR)
B. The Guardian - Danielle (BR)
C. The Guardian - Berit (BR)
D. The Guardian - Tati (BR)

i.e. One post per round:
I'd copy and paste the current one in another comment for Round B, Round C, etc.
