Wedding Bells

The weekend before last, Thomas and I went to his nieces wedding. It was held in the same church that Thomas and I are going to get married in (written with a big smile on my face). It was a beautiful day and a great opportunity to get to see some of the family again. So we got there a bit early and met Lee the groom and his best man coming out of the church

Lee just looked so happy and excited, you could just tell that there was one thing on his mind.

and it seemed to be infectious as Thomas and Andrew (his nephew) seemed to be doign their best to spread the laughter.

Although I think it might have affected some in the wrong way... (left to right Shelia, Ann, and Tony. Tom's sisters and brother in-law)

Then the Bridesmaids turned up and I knew that we should have gone and bagged a seat in the church, as by the time we got in there the church was full. Never mind...

at least there's a few nice photos of them going into the church, and you get to see the backs of them!

The service was a full mass and was really nice, I was also using it to think out bits for our own service (naughty i know, but its been a while since I’ve been to a wedding and we haven’t yet discussed what order of service we’ll have!) It was beautiful, although i did miss the “you may kiss the bride” part, definitely not something that I’m cutting out. Anyway on with the photos…

When the service was over we all piled out of the church stretching out legs and rushing to take photographs before it rained.

Right a quick pause in the wedding two posts in a day just isn’t enough think I’m going to make it a record three. and spilt this wedding in half and get some food in me and some household chores done.

Somewhere (in the middle of nowhere) over the rainbow…

Way up high, there’s a La La La La…. OK so no more singing, but Thomas and I came home home one day to find this sitting over our house.

It was so bright in the sky it was unbelieveable, and then a second rainbow appeared above it!

We are often very privilaged to see really beautiful things in the area that we live in, and I don’t photograph them all but this one just seemed to deserve a few photos and a rather poor attempt at stitching two together (you can decide if it works for yourself).

Its definatley been a while since i've seen a whole rainbow

Then just to round off and interesting evening Thomas and I were doing a bit of fish finger taste testing in the kitchen…

as you do before dinner...

I think her table manners are going to need a bit of work!

I'm sure she would have liked some fish fingers but I think her table manners are going to need a bit of work first!
