"First off 'he' is not even going to notice or care" How true. How true. Most future husbands couldn't care less. I really feel for the young men being traipsed round department stores every Saturday for months, choosing flatware and china and frocks for the bridesmaids and, in one case I came across recently, even his future mother-in-law's hat, for god's sake!. In the UK it's traditional that the future husband is responsible for the ring(s), the church fees, presents for the bridesmaids, the best man and the ushers and flowers for the bride, the bride's mother, his own mother and the bridesmaids. He also pays for buttonholes for himself and the best man and arranges and pays for transport for him and the best man before the wedding and for himself and his bride afterwards. However, he doesn't have much choice in the matter!"Oh it will have so much meaning for us if we do everything ourselves."
First off 'he' is not even going to notice or care. And don't even think of trying to sucker him into doing all this handmade stuff with you. He would rather work overtime so you can pay to have 'that' done. Young girls just don't know where to draw the line.
My youngest son had a very simple wedding. No fancy over the top decorations for the hall. Each table had a small center piece so you could talk over it to the person across the table. The head table did have more flowers in the color of the wedding. And the bride/grooms table had more roses. The cake was a plain three tier with a band around the middle tier.
That was it. They had a lot of guests along with a very large dance floor. That dance floor got more use than any other part of the wedding. The reception started at 5 p.m. At 2 a.m. the staff had to tell them it was time for everyone to go home. They were tired. It was one of the funnest weddings I have ever been to.
I also made chocolate cake. This is a recipe from King Arthur, it is very good! I used Dutch process cocoa and it worked well. This is a nice, light textured chocolate cake.

Oh that looks wonderful! What recipe did you use for the frosting? Is it chocolate or mocha flavored frosting?
Mmm merstar, the dried cherries sounds good!
I'm baking oatmeal cookies with coconut - half plain and half with dried cherries.
I will be baking some kind of cookies because my grandsons are here visiting!
Sounds good Katy. I'll put the pot of tea on, OK?
Today I will be making a Peach and Almond Tart.
