Wedding
What fun! I'm exhausted, I can't imagine how the happy couple must feel. I had a great time, as did everyone I talked to. Much mingling, much laughter, and much love to go around.
Now that my wedding present has been delivered, I can post about it here. I didn't want to ruin the surprise before the wedding, but I spent the time leading up to the wedding stitching this:
And a couple of close-ups. The cottage:
The alphabet and flower border:
The wedding and reception were such good fun. Kate had a great time and I was able to both meet many members of each extended family and reconnect with people I hadn't seen in ages (sometimes many years). I gave a heart-felt toast to the couple (and was reassured that I didn't make too much a fool of myself in doing it when several people commented nicely on it afterwards), joined in an impromptu serenade of the happy couple which caused the photographers to go into a frenzy of flash photography (I'm very afraid!), and when my shoe came off as I was galloping down the stairs I narrowly avoided throwing myself head-first over the banister. Woohoo, now that's a party!
