We mailed out the invitations last week and yesterday I received my first responses!!! This is so exciting!!! I went back and forth between theknot and my mother, theknot saying to send out invites 3 months ahead of time, my mother saying 6 weeks. 6 weeks?!?! I went with a little over 2 months. Once I got them back from the friend who addressed them for me I could not not send them out!

As a bride, you are basically 'on display' at your wedding. It's your time to shine, and be the Real You...and often times the real you comes with bold accessories! Daring colored shoes or bright crinoline, a big bejeweled necklace, cowboy boots, a beautiful jacket, cocktail rings, and shiny things! Are you going the BOLD route? Or are you going for simplicity or more traditional?

...Are three beautiful little girls who are all approaching their first birthday's in the next two months. They are also the children of some of our best friends. Matilda and Isabelle are coming from England with their Mums and Dads for the big day, and Grace, my angel, is a local. Our wedding is in September, and all should be walking and communicating by our big day. My little cousins (elementary school age), Sydney, Aiden, and Troy will also be there with bells on. Or if I know Troy, riding on "horsie."
Mr. British and I are among the last of our friends to get married, and while we never thought we'd have a wedding with children (I used to have to serve massive tureens of hot soup with children running all over the dance floor when I was a banquet waitress), but since these children have been born, we can not imagine our lives without them. We were in all the parents' weddings and it is just so important to us that they are all there, and that they feel included.
We have sorted out a babyminder for the British children for whenever the parents need someone while they are over, which we think is a good idea. We are also going to have a comfortable area in a side room at the reception for the parents to go with the children if they have any 'meltdowns,' which since they are all perfect, we are sure will not be needed lol!
Their places at the tables will be marked by the ubiquitous red double-decker busses of London...

I fell head over heels for this photo by Joe Elario Photography. I confess I have an odd obsession with vintage neon signs. (I took about 500 pictures of the Old Canteen Sign up on Federal Hill in Providence for a class a few weeks ago.) I emailed Joe to see if I could show you all, and funny enough, he was off to get married himself! The amazing Jessica Claire will be taking his pics. I always love seeing who photographers pick to photograph them. More photos of this shoot are up on the Joe Elario blog.
Enjoy your weekend! I'm off to enjoy a wedding reception tonight! I was lucky enough to be a part of the lovely ceremony high up in the mountains of Vermont last Friday, and now we party down!
What wedding tasks are you working on this weekend?
