Green Weddings

Joe Carrick and Jessica Randall, via timescolumns.typepad.com/gledhill

Really interesting post on Ruth Gledhill's Times blog about vicar's daughter Jessica Randall, a trainee doctor, and church youth worker Joe Carrick, who decided to make their wedding as green as possible:

"From the outset we’ve tried to keep a global - and God’s - perspective throughout. It hasn’t been any more effort to do and we haven’t had to compromise on quality and luxury either."

This included sourcing a conflict-free engagement ring, buying a wedding dress from Oxfam, signing up for an Oxfam Unwrapped Wedding List, growing the flowers for the displays and bouquet, and serving fair trade food and booze at the reception. Good for them!
