What a treasure to keep jan, such beautiful, sentimental, loving memories that it brings. When the Greeks get married, besides the bouquet, we have two crowns made of whatever you choose to have them made of and they are connected by a ribbon, which is a symbol of being connected for ever. I had ours framed and it is in our bedroom. Be well and safe Jan - I love your poem/haiku. Jennifer.

Thanks Harry, I had more of a bridesmaid posy than a bouquet - our wedding was low key neither of us wanted fuss we didnt have a photographer just friends pics. Just 16 at the wedding then a carvery meal but a big party in the evening:-) I didnt keep any of the flowers but still have the top tier of the cake in the attic - son never got christened:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks Connie I wish I had saved part of mine, it was very simple more of a bridesmaid posy - we did not have a big wedding far from it, just a big party afterwards:-) hugs Jan xx
