i know i've been quiet but......

this is a dress I bought for a few quid in a charity shop as the silk was too good a bargain to miss – while it was still in one piece I thought we should have a rehearsal just to reassure myself that a wedding meringue is not my style - it's 2 sizes too small and precariously held together at the back with paper clips, but you get the idea ….. I think i've proved the point!

 on tuesday 17^th april it was the real thing

since it was a leap year I proposed to mick on february 29^th, being the prudent man he is he checked that marriage wouldn't affect our finances adversely before accepting and we announced our engagement to my family in march – we decided on a very quiet, no frills wedding with marc and patricia (my brother and his wife) as witnesses – I found it really difficult not to tell anyone but it was a lovely secret to be keeping

 

the “wedding breakfast” was afternoon tea at st michael's hotel with marc and patricia, we had asked to use the summer house if the weather was up to it and it was – mick and I were glad it wasn't hot or sunny and marc took some lovely photos, I even like the way I look on several of them 


we are honeymooning in our caravan in yorkshire....and it's pouring but who cares :-)
