Our eco-green wedding April 26, 2014

Hello to all,



Marriage proposal just made and already my head is full of ideas (cogitais I must say that for a while now!) But I feel that I'm already starting to get drunk my boyfriend to tell him about marriage constantly and even if already involves a lot, he would like to talk to him about something else, by the time ... never mind! An account on docti and presto! I will reshuffle my thirst pour me started on those (celles!) who take pleasure to read me (or not! You never know!)


So I will try the summary and I will improve over time

Honey, 36 years old (37 when we married)

Place of celebration: We visited one room and it is THE right! We'll probably book this week.
Small room + accommodation chalets situated in a small equestrian center ... in our village (and therefore carbon footprint than good!)

Mayor: Date reserved.
We would have liked to do the ceremony at 16h but it will not be possible. The secretary said the marriages are usually morning to 11h/11h30 ... we are certainly not want the wedding morning! So we review our hopes down and we will negotiate 14h/14h30
To see if we can customize a little ceremony, but they do not look very open ... if possible, we would like Hymn to Love Piaf (without the last sentence) for our entry into the room.
