It was a busy weekend for the family, as my eldest nephew was getting married on Saturday. Some of us were in the church hall ahead of time, helping with decorating and food preparation. We arrived to find the couple's LOTR nerdiness (nothing wrong with that) on full display: Everything came together pretty smoothly and the reception tables looked lovely: The wedding was beautiful, and the weather- which had been forecasted to be rain- cooperated; it was bright and sunny. After the reception, the couple motored away to begin their honeymoon leaving behind family & friends, waving and wiping away happy tears, and wondering where the time had gone. I couldn't help thinking of this scene from Fiddler On The Roof- Tzeitel and Motel's wedding: On Sunday afternoon while most of the family was still about, we celebrated my birthday (which was actually earlier in the week). I got some great presents including these lovely flowers: I received a variety of really great handmade cards from some of the nephews and nieces, including this one, drawn and painted in watercolours by my five year old nephew (he told me he watched an instructional video on how to draw turtles): I also got a variety of gift cards which I shall put to good use: All in all, it was an amazing weekend, full of family and friends, love and laughter. I hope that yours was as enjoyable.
