Weddings
Today has been about weddings - not that I have been to a wedding today.
To begin at the beginning........
50 years ago there was a wedding - another that I didn't attend.
Bill did though - well, some of it.
A work colleague asked Bill to drive his bride to Worth Church for their wedding.
So, today is a Golden Wedding and much love and congratulations go to our friends Pete and Jean.
I heard about Bill's part in the proceedings later that evening.
It was the evening of our first official date.
We saw the film Exodus at Crawley cinema.
So, today is our anniversary too. Much love to my special man - we have driven each other mad and kept each other sane in equal measure.
And 50 years later, on this day, our niece, Jo, married her man, Darryl.
Its has been a lovely small family wedding and reports say that it has been a wonderful day.
So, much love and wishes for much future happiness go to them.
And today I have lapped up gossip of a celebrity wedding that took place yesterday.
Some will have heard of Dermot O'Leary - he introduces X Factor does some Radio 2 programmes and various other things.
Yesterday he got married.
Today we worked with Claudia in the shop and her daughter and son in law are best friends with Dermot and his bride. Claudia's daughter was bridesmaid and the son in law was one of the 2 best men.
It was, by our standards, a lavish wedding - but seems to have also been intimate and personal....away from the public eye. They turned down a lot of money offered by Hello/OK magazine to cover their wedding; they knew from experience how the celebrity magazines just take over the day. If the magazine had rights to the day then nobody else was able to take any pictures - not family, not friends. They wanted their wedding to be for their families and friends. So, good for them.
When we got home I saw a lovely collection of wedding photographs taken at a wedding - just the sort that Hello/OK magazines would have not allowed. Our nephew captured the love, happiness and laughter superbly at a friend's wedding.
And now here is a picture of a couple celebrating 50 years. I don't know them.
I bet they enjoyed the paralympics.
Oh, this time last week we were in that wonderful stadium.
Oh, and the shop was busy and sales were good for both of us.
It was a lovely day.
