Happy the bride that the sun shines on

The Lord couldn’t have given us a more perfect day for the wedding of my son Ben and his bride Sunny yesterday.

The sun shone brightly on an unseasonably warm winter’s day, and Moo and I had decorated the church with sunshine yellow gerberas, lilies and daffodils.

The church bells rang out across the neighbourhood and cars slowed to see the beautiful bride and her attendants walking the short distance from our home to the church for a 1pm wedding.

Just as the Princess’s drawing had promised, love was definitely in the air as her Mummy and Daddy were finally married at St Mark’s.

 

That’s the groom below with his groomsmen. He’s the very relaxed-looking young man wearing the white tie .

I created a romantic garland for the arched church entrance.

 

The ceremony was so moving. Sunny started it: once she began to cry happy tears I couldn’t help mine, and I doubt there was a dry eye in the church as they took their vows.

But the tears gave way to smiles and applause as the newlyweds emerged after signing the register.

More to come
