On Friday we went to our nephew’s wedding and it was a wonderful day, full of love and laughter. Great to get together with extended family and be a part of a life enhancing event.
The bride, Lizzie, was stunning and the groom, Daniel very handsome. All family and friends were suited and booted and following a short ceremony, the celebrations began. The meal was delicious, especially the dessert!
After the speeches there was the first dance- Al Green’s let’s stay together.The band then played tunes requested in advance from the guests, a lovely touch.
I love these occasions as there is always so much joy, with hopes and dreams as the couple’s new married life begins.
And so on our long drive home it brought back memories of when Andrew and Lis married on 10/11/12.
The day goes by in a blur and everyone is caught up in the moment. But every now and then there is a song, a scent that triggers the memories. Tears are never far away – and I am immensely proud of what Andrew and Lis have done since that day, a true embodiment of what marriage is about, love, support, tears of both sadness but also great joy and laughter!
Every time I hear David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ I remember how amazed I was to see Andrew dance, and be in time! I still remember Tony’s speech with trips down memory lane and hysterical photoshopped images!
Hopefully it may not be too much longer that we have another family celebration and I wish the new Mr and Mrs McIntosh all they wish for together. X👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Here we go…..
