Fairy took Minty to choose her wedding dress the other day. Plans are well under way for ‘The Wedding Of The Year’. The invitations will be in the post any day – look out for yours!
Here’s Fairy to take us through the proceedings.
Morning, Mr Bear. It is so kind of you to offer to make Minty’s wedding dress. We spotted some of your marvellous creations when we went up to London. You are so talented! We want nothing but the best for Minty.
Come along now, Minty, behave yourself!
Yes, this is a gorgeous fabric, this cotton matches perfectly.
This is a beautiful shade too . . . pale pink, just like my ears!
. . . what do you think, Minty?
Haha! You look so funny in THAT!
Well now, that is divine too . . .
. . . and this pale blue is so pretty! Is it pure silk do you know?
Oh! Oh! Oh! I am going to . . . SNEEZE! Atichoo! S’cuse me!
Yeees . . . . it is quite lovely as well.
Hum . . . those ribbons would tone in perfectly too.
What do you reckon, Mr Bear?
The shade suits your fur colouring so well.
Hang on! I’ll ask Mum – Muuuuum! do you like it?
And, more importantly, what do YOU think?
Let’s try it on then!
Oh my whiskers! Just look at you! Mr Bear, you are a clever tailor!
You look simply amazing, Minty!
I think I’ll just have a nap while you do all the measurements and things, Mr Bear.
Minty, you are going to be the most beautiful bride I have ever seen!
Monty is a very lucky little mouse!
This a wonderful story beautifully illustrated and told with much warmth and good humour. You have captured not only Fairy’s huge personality but those of Minty and Mr Bear too – truly remarkable, and a real pleasure to read. Thank you.
Totally delightful! Love Mr Bear in his glasses. And Fairy, well she is adorable and funny as usual. Enjoyed how Fairy was in and out of the sewing basket. She is such a joy. Waiting for my invit….
Thanks, ffleur! Mr Bear looked the business in those specs, I agree. As for your invite . . . we’d need to see your intended wedding hat before we send your invitation 🙂
