Wedding Celebrations

At the weekend we went, with M-i-L, to Cambridge for the wedding celebration of LB's cousin. It wasn't exactly a wedding as the happy couple married earlier this year, but a blessing and reception. I thought it was quite a good way to organise things. The cousin had no worries about whether the bride would turn up as they were already married! The ceremony was held by candlelight in the beautiful setting of the chapel of Gonville and Caius College.

It was very moving and romantic, in particular the personal vows the couple made to each other, in addition to those prescribed by the church, reduced most of us women to tears! This was followed by drinks and nibbles, a Christmas dinner, port & cheese and various entertainments. It was a wonderful evening.

The only downside was the excruciating discomfort from my smart but too high heels. I don't usually indulge in such frivolity but it was a posh do so I thought I'd make an effort!
