Our Wedding - the re-run...
I commented, when posting about it being our 25th wedding anniversary last week, that we had done the whole thing over again the week after.
Our civil wedding was in North Shields, where we lived, but we came home to the island for a church blessing the next week. Someone asked for more pictures...
In these you can see my hat better, the bridesmaids' dresses - and one of my favourite pictures of myself.
Here we are with the bridesmaids (my sister on the left), and our parents. Really not very flattering on my Mum lurking behind us!
I'm not sure which of us had said what in this one, taken in the church yard - but you can see my hat nicely - with it's big net bow that came halfway down my back.
This was taken at the reception - my mum made our cake, with its silver ribbons and floral decorations to match my flowers.
And this is one of my favourite pictures of me - taken when the main reception was over, in the bar of the grand Island, with my feet-up!
It was great fun doing it all the second week - getting all dressed up again. And after the formal reception, and the rest with my feet up - we had a dance in the evening with chicken and chips for everyone. And the quote of the day came from my eighty-odd year old great aunt who was one of the last to leave, at 11pm; "You have to make the most of it, gel, when you get to my age. Every wedding might be the last you get to..."
And I promise - no more wedding pics!
