Wedding Celebrations.

After an initial chilly start we had a lovely hot sunny day which was perfect for our 'wedding celebration'. The morning was taken up with rehearsing and making lots of tissue paper flowers to decorate the tables and the wedding arch. The children all wore party clothes in red, white & blue (mostly) and looked very festive out in the sunshine. In the afternoon excitement was high as parents gathered to watch the 'wedding' , share a celebration tea and watch some dances. There were so many parents and families present that it wasn't possible for my team of gymnasts to show their performance which is something they had put together at playtimes so I've promised them that they can do a special performance for the whole school as soon as possible. Here the bride and groom, accompanied by the vicar (in black), are signing the register under the watchful eye of the registrar. Children from my class were the parents of the bride and the 'mother-of-the-bride' cried theatrically as instructed and the 'father-of-the-bride' stood on a chair to give a speech after the wedding tea.
The aftermath of the tea. Most of the children were playing in the field or had gone home exhausted. Hopefully it will be a day that they will remember. Now we all get a day off tomorrow in honour of the official wedding.
