On saturday we hired a minibus,and set off to the lake district,a long drive that i didn't relish.
My youngest daughter and her partner were getting married in the afternoon.smiley - applause.
The wedding took place in a big hotel,and the room had an open fire,which wasn't lit until later in the day.The whole fireplace,and shelf above it was filled with lighted candles,tea lights i the hearth,and church candles in the grate and on the shelf.At each side of the fireplace was a small table,one containing unlit candles in the shape of a heart,the other displaying pictures of departed mum and nan,and others who couldnt attend.
During the ceromony the vicar invited all the children to come forward and light a candle,to light up the heart on the side table,it was beautiful.
The vows were so full of promise ,and love,and i have to say it was one of the nicest weddings i have ever experienced.It made me feel very proud .
We had a wonderful time,and i just had to share my thought with my friends on here.
So,congratulations to both of you,i.m sure you'll have a wonderul life together,and i didn't lose a daughter,i gained daughter number 4.smiley - bubbly.love to both of you.smiley - hugxxx

Er... Frenchbean, old bean........ Post 14, you will notice, has a 2005 date on it - I just resurrected the thread for the first anniversary...

I think perhaps any leftover smiley - cake is going to be a bit stale by now! But I'm sure, if there is any, Smurfles will say you are welcome to it!
