A Follow-up to Linda's Story

This is a follow-up to Linda's original Saving Story, published in the February 2010 Journal.

"Hi Cath,

Just to let you know we did do the above.

The flowers are still flowering in our front garden nearly two years after the wedding. The entertainment..a belly dancer.. was a success and we managed to get away with a $3,000 wedding.

The wedding dress is dyed and awaiting re use as an evening dress, and my maid of honour wears her outfit all the time.

Waltzing down the aisle to Joe Cockers 'You Can Leave Your Hat On' was fun and as a friend (who might I add was doing a pretend striptease as I came down the aisle) said, "only you could get away with using that song."

We went into the thing wanting fun and we all had fun.... and embarrassment of embarrassment lol my Mum was the 'drunk' of the day. Sitting quietly.. an unusual thing for her...in a corner drinking the supplied wine and getting sozzled, quite content in my life choice. Apparently falling asleep the moment she sat in the car to go home, lol.

I suppose she was relieved after all it was my second time around.

 This old bride pulled it off with the help of her husband and friends and family and had fun doing it.

Thanks to Cheapskates for all the advice I got for this occasion and inspiration. Thanks for all the help I've gotten over the time.

Linda :-)"


Sorry Linda, I couldn't resist printing your story update and you didn't sound at all smug in your email.  Your wedding sounds perfect, and I am sure everyone wishes you and your husband many, many happy years remembering such a wonderful day.  Cath
