I have a question for you. your wedding... small private affair, or friends and family gathering - wedding sprung on the guests at the last moment?  Also, Church or not church?

MAX

eeeeeeeeee, I don't know

I think Miss Bailey would have a tiny, tiny church ceremony for her grandparents, aunts and uncles, parents and adult family friends, and then a more expansive picnic and trivia afternoon reception with friends and cousins. Trivia quiz gives answers what must be found in the treasure hunt sending groups of four off into the house looking for references to art, books and cooking utensils in the house and flowers, bugs and rocks in the garden

Ok. Otherwise i was thinking that it occurs one sunday after church at the usual gathering at the Manor. No-one knows except about four people who are needed to organise parts of it.  Shall I get Grandmama to host the picnic at the Manor. So, will you be doing anything considered outrageous in a single woman between the intimate ceremony and the picnic, just to scandalise those old ladies who used to tut at you all the time?

MAX

Heee, I like that. She would limit the Church Ceremony to those that tut, just to toe the line, and then the reception for all those who are interested in what she thinks - but the trivia quiz will be all about unfashionable questions like suffragettes and class and race etc, and the treasure hunt would hinge on a collection of books, paintings and ideas those who are not welcome in the political sphere to become active - women, working-class, natives etc. And I think she should have her first opinion piece on politics published in the newspaper the Sunday she gets married - imagine, her ideas in print!

I was thinking have the intimate church ceremony, then the next day, after church at the usual gathering doing something as simple as kissing Freddy in public with gloves on.  you'd have to have the picnic that afternoon. Remember, many of the paintings at the Manor are either of or by the family. The library, however, is extensive

MAX

*sigh* ok :) Kissing Freddy hey? That sounds like fun. I will be up for that
