So we decided to ask Belle, Chris’ youngest niece, to be my flower girl at the wedding.

She was running around at the hospital, so I grabbed her, sat her on my knee facing me and said: 

“So monkey, you know how me and Uncle Chris are getting married?”

“Like a wedding with a princess dress?” she said.

“Yes” I replied, “so I’m going to need a flower girl, someone like you to walk down the aisle in front of me in a pretty dress, will you be a flower girl for me?”

“Ummmm” she said, “can I have a headband?”

“Yes you can have a headband” I said. “If I get you a headband will you be our flower girl?”

“And a heart necklace?” said Belle.

“Yes, you can have a headband and a heart necklace” I said. “If I get you a headband and a heart necklace will you be a flower girl and wear a pretty dress?”

“Will it have buttons, and a zip?” She asked.

“Ok’ I said ‘so if I get you a headband and heart necklace, will you be a flower girl and wear a pretty dress that has buttons and a zip?”

She then turned to Chris with a massive grin on her face and said..

“I’m going to be a flower girl!”

She’s three…

I’m still slightly in shock. I had taken up the traditional wedding hobby of Pinterest and got an idea of what I was looking for, and so dragged my bride-to-be with me with me to get some ideas.
Little did I know that in an outlet in Salford Quays, we would meet the most tentative sales assistant Scott. Within seconds of describing what I was looking for, he came straight to me with it.

I tried it on, and it looked so sharp, that was it, there was literally no point continuing looking. Someone who Vicky worked wit gave us the best piece of wedding advice “when you know, you know”, and this was one of those occasions, especially when we realised the suit was over half price and was only a bit more than the cost of hiring them.

I wasn’t really expecting to get my suit with Vicky, but hey at least she likes it! Though I have been told I can’t go dress shopping with her which is a shame, I like Prosecco.

Next job, to see if the Groomsmen like the suits and get them fitted out.

Scott in Suits Direct Salford Quays, also said if anyone needs anything for the wedding, to give him a shout and he will offer a discount if you say we referred you. There are some great deals there so do have a look!

On the way out of the Lowry Designer Outlet Vicky was given some candy floss, that’s Vicky happy fiancée right there that is then!
