Well the title says it all. The day was magical from beginning to end. The sun shone, the violinists were amazing, the vows the kids wrote were tear-jerking and the reception was the most fun we've all had in ages. Food was YUM and the cocktail waiter was very talented. What can I say???
It was just brilliant hanging out with family; we don't do it often enough. The whole sibling thing is something I miss as mine live a good distance from us but we had lots of laughs while we re-connected. It was great to catch up with two of my nephews, one of whom is married. I met the others fiancée for the first time and was thrilled she was so lovely. We had a couple there who had had a lot of input into my kids lives and we wanted them to share in the day. It seems almost surreal how perfect the whole day turned out. And as much as we are overjoyed to welcome our new daughter-in-law into our family, it's lovely for Mark and I to know that our son is as welcome and loved by his new wife's family. I love Rae's mum and the rest of her family seem just as nice. I know everyone will be there to support the kids as they embark on this new adventure. That's what it's all about isn't it - just being there for each other. :)
It's a few days of rest and then back to normal here. Chooks, leeks and cheesemaking here I come. :)
