Wedding Day

Wedding day ...... Those who like to read my blog ( and I thank you) will know I have been in wedding fever for nearly 2 years. First out of the gate was my son Matthew who married the very lovely Karen on the 3rd April last year. They had a most beautiful wedding in a wonderful castle, and even managed not to get rained on!





Then then long after my daughter Natalie got engaged! As with most places these days she found a venue she liked, but they only had one date left in the month of September 2011. So we had no choice but to book. It all seemed like a long way off but I can't believe its now only 8 weeks away !!!!! It has been a huge amount of work for me as I am making all the 8 bridesmaid dresses and its been stress. I am not sure I will know what to do with my time, once all the weddings are done lol.



Then on Saturday 23rd we had yet another Wedding Day! This time it was my son Matthews dear friend Darren who married the super Gina. Matthew has known Darren since they were children and I am sure got up to all the stuff boys get up to. I know they lost contact for a bit but since finding each other again have had that boyhood friendship get even stronger.



This is Matthew on the left and Darren at the Church

Darren is a great young man and I am really pleased he has found Gina, I really hope for all the happiness in the world for them.
I did not see them get married but I did get to enjoy their evening reception which was great. Gina looked wonderful in her dress and all her colour's were coffee and cream. We felt that we had done a tiny bit as a family, with Matthew being best man and my daughter Natalie making all the bridal flowers. For my part I made all the bows for the church which I loved to do for them.
I promised Darren as I left him that I would make him and Gina my blog stars for today, so Darren and Gina if you read this A very happy happy life together and can't wait to party with you at Natalie's wedding xxx
