The wedding of Kirstyn and Will 19th July

G

What a lovely wedding. Lots of lovely hats; even yours truly donned a fascinator of cream net and feathers. It posed a challenge getting in and out of taxis but otherwise did the job.

A bitt of anxiety prior to the wedding when we lost Gary who was to share the taxi with us from Sandwich to the Church, St Nicholas -at-Wade. He had gone off to get insoles for his new shoes and we somehow missed his return to the agreed meeting place, Salvation Inn.  After a turn around town we were about to abandon him when the taxi driver suggested one more return to the Salvation Inn and lo and behold he was there. 

 

 Gorgeous hats everywhere

We all gathered in the church taking photos until Kirstyn  arrived with Martin her father. Kathleen, mother of the bride looked so elegant in a deep rose silk jacket and printed skirt.

 Poppy, mother of the groom was replendent in navy and white. She wore a fabulous navy and white hat that had been her own mother's. Poppy is one of those amazing, capable, competent and gracious English women. She worked tirelessly before and after the wedding and always with a smile. Kathleen was no less amazing so it was a fantastic team effort. 

The wedding reception was in the marquee and all our florals decorations made it look so pretty. 

The weather was kind in that it didn't rain until we sat for dinner. Everything went like clockwork. The speeches were short but excellent and from the heart. I danced most of the evening but left at midnight just when the shot bar opened!

Next morning Gary left and I moved across to the farm to stay an extra night and help with the clean up.
