My Lovely Wedding
We had such a wonderful time Saturday. We had planned a simple wedding. A short (5 minute) ceremony, held by our Mayor, at our local Town Museum. We had invited 50 people - family and friends - to our house after wards. We ended up being 35-40 grown ups and kids, all having a glorious time. We had a buffet and beer. We had cake and coffee. We got spoiled rotten with huge gifts. And now I'm a stay at home Mom. I'm a Wife. I am HAPPY!
Aaaahhh....and the sun was shining for a change!
Now take a look at our pressies.....
1. Stelton Thermos 2. Margrethe Bowls 3. Moccamaster
4. Karen Blixen Vases 5. Alvar Aalto vases 6. Queen Ingrid Plant
7. Swing Vases 8. Le Creuset shakers 9. Menu "thingie" for hot pans
10. Louise Langgaard 11. Tiny Anna-Karin 12. Aino Aalto glasses (10)
Ceramic candleholders Dahl Ceramic Vases
Can you believe the *pretty-ness*? Oh...it's sooo gorgeous...all of it!
We got a large Le Creuset jug, 2 small ramekins and a skillet - all in orange - that arrives in a few days.
We also got a third Stelton Thermos, that I will swap for an Aino Aalto pitcher.
The money we got, is up for discussion though! My husband wants eletronics and I want these:
Anyway...my husband is still away and I woke up BEFORE 6 this morning!!! Well it gave me time to catch up a bit - here in Blogland!
***THANKS AGAIN EVERYBODY - FOR ALL YOUR KIND WORDS***
Here's our FAVORITE present though.
Those pictures are wonderful & what gorgeous presents!
Enjoy your new life as stay-at-home-mum and fresh wife! :)
