I’m down in Gosport again this weekend, doing more "wedding stuff". Yesterday we went to Collectables in Gosport town centre to talk about table decorations and to see what they have come up with.

The idea is that we have fishbowls on the table, filled with some decoration-stuff and topped off with gell balls with a LED light in the middle…

… That doesn’t explain it very well. Here’s a photo of the two examples the ladies in the shop gave us:

Hopefully you can now see what I mean. The gell balls are of the type that you grow in water, so they’re all squishy, and I’m sure many people will be playing with them on the day! We preferred the one on the right, and worked with the ladies to make something even more appealing by adding more wire and beads in the bowl. This gave us something that looked like this:

This photo also gives a better light and shows how the LED will look in the top part of the bowl. We’ve also ordered some purple heart shaped guitar picks from E-Bay that we’ll be able to add to the bowl and scatter on the table. It’s all coming together!

On a completely different note…

First thing this morning as I came downstairs in my parents’ home in Gosport, I look at the scene outside the patio doors and what do I find? Some strange white stuff. It can’t be snow, can it? In Gosport?!
