Wedding (Day 6 of 30)

[nanila]

With apologies for missing a day; I shall do a double post some time this week when I'm not quite so exhausted.

We spend the weekend away in Norfolk for a friend's wedding. The location was beautiful and merits its own post. The bloke's parents kindly agreed to have the children so we were able to let our hair down. Here we are in our glad rags in a more civilised moment, just after the ceremony and before the wedding breakfast.



The wedding was on the same day eighteen years ago as the death of my maternal grandfather, with whom I was very close. The bride and groom didn't know that, of course, but I'm privately pleased to now have a very happy memory conjoined to the same date.

Good looking couple!

[nanila]

Thank you!

You guys look great! Love the color and cut of your dress!

[nanila]

Thanks! I'm just pleased it still fits, as I bought it before two children happened. :P

[hamsterwoman]

Ha, I'm impressed! I can still do the occasional pre-kid top, but not, alas, any of the dresses...

[calissa]

You look gorgeous! I love that colour on you.

[nanila]

Thank you! It is one of my favourite colours. I like jewel tones.

[azurelunatic]

Hooray for better memories!

[nanila]

Yes indeed. I mean, I will still revisit Pa's death on that day, but now I can also revisit being outside on a gorgeous day watching a lovely couple get married.

Congratulations to the newly married!

You and the bloke look like you're having an excellent time.

[nanila]

Thank you! We were; it was such a happy day.

I'm glad you could make a good memory to sit beside the sad one.

Also, wow, your dress is amazing!! You look great!

[nanila]

Me too. And thank you!

[tree_and_leaf]

You both scrub up well!

[nanila]

Thank you! The bloke was a groomsman, so his suit was actually made for him by a tailor. I love the colour and obviously the fit is perfect.

[tree_and_leaf]

It's a great suit! And your dress is lovely, too - the colour is great on you.

What a lovely photo, and I'm glad you had a good day :-)

[nanila]

Thank you, me too!

[emelbe]

You both look dashing. <3

I'm so glad you were able to tie a positive thing to that date.

[nanila]

Thank you. And me too. September is a difficult month - Pa's death, 9/11 (in the same year) and Pa's birthday are all in it. Not to mention my own birthday, which sits squarely in the middle of all that.

Lovely colours on both of you — I really like the bloke’s tie/jacket combination!

[nanila]

Thank you! His suit was custom made. The other groomsmen awarded him "Best Tie". :)

[lorigami]

I love your dress! You look so happy =)

[nanila]

Thank you! I love that dress too and I don't get many occasions to wear it. :)

[ayebydan]

You're so beautiful! And what a dapper man you have there! I see your son in him so much now!

I'm glad to hear some happiness has come into that date for you

[nanila]

Aw, thank you! Yes, the resemblance is strong there, although Keiki has my eyes and skin tone.

[omnipotent]

Well aren't y'all a fine couple! You are beautiful and Bloke looks debonair. Purple really is your color!

[nanila]

Thank you! I do love jewel tones. Pastels do not suit me.
