Alternative...

I have never been a bridesmaid before. The only proper wedding I have been to was through a previous job where all the newbies got invited to make them feel a part of the family. It was really beautiful, in a chapel near where we all lived at Christmas, using lots of Christmastime colours and we sang carols instead of traditional hymns. And before that, I've only been to a reception when I was... 7?!?!
This will be a wedding like no other though. The couple are NOT traditional. Male (B) and Female (S), both long hair, both metal heads, both wear a lot of black. And I'm going to love every minute of it! Don't get me wrong, traditional weddings sound nice. But if they suit the couple. S & B are the furthest away from straight edged, traditional, white wedding in a church. She's already looking at alternative dresses, corset style but black and red. Which would suit her amazingly.

Oh, by the way, I started to write another blog about weddings, but then changed my mind. I'll do it another time.... Meh.

So yeah. Just thought I should share that with you. Ill keep updating this blog with everything going on and talk about my bridesmaid experiences... There are 5 of us including the maid of honour, two of the girls are younger (B's nieces I believe...) the maid of honour I don't know and the other bridesmaid (my other best friend) lives in Cheltenham. So quite a way away. I'm so lucky that I get to see S so often to be able to talk about it all with her!
I'm going to make her a wedding planner as a little present. Four years is a long time and she needs somewhere to store everything. I've found a plain black spiral bound book (normally used for scrapbooks) from Paperchase, I'm going to put a cover on the front of 'S's wedding planner' and lots of deep red roses and a few cute skulls, and I'm going to attach red and black ribbon to the top spiral like a book marker. A few of the pages I'm going to convert into pockets to hold reciepts, flyers... anything! Im going to wrap it up with a few silver and gold pens, some glue, some journalling boxes (its a scrapbook thing)  and some photo corners so she'll have everything she needs! Have I missed anything??
