A Wedding!

My eldest daughter married her wonderful fiancé on Saturday near to Abergavenny. It was just the most perfect day, planned meticulously by the couple to be everything they wanted it to be. From start to finish it was a spectacular weekend. The storms waited until after the photographs, the dresses looked amazing, the speeches brought tears, the dance floor was never empty, the food was great and the bride had a smile on her face from early morning to well after midnight.

I think a list is required:

Venue - ideal, comfortable, intimate, beautiful - and all to ourselves for the weekend

Flowers - just right - colours perfectly matches to autumnal leaves

Cake - yummy - simply decorated by florist totally appropriately

Hairdresser - excellent start to the day - great salon, great styles and they stayed in

Dresses - wow!

Food - we want to go back and eat some more from the chef - wonderful

Speeches - tear jerking, funny, well planned, emotional, just right

Band - great sets, great dance music

Bridesmaids - beautiful

Children - well behaved, funny, delightful

iPad FaceTime guests - in Florida and Staffordhshire - virtual guests welcome

Wedding romance? - yes - one boy totally smitten..............

Hand knitted owl favours - went down well

Families - happy
