Our dear friends Emma and Rob got married yesterday (on the Blue Moon of July 31st) after a few busy days of helping them to prepare everything. They are the parents of Sophie and Oscar, who are best buds with Rhiannon and Tryfan respectively (as well as altogether, of course), but although they have been together for 12 years and had 2 gorgeous kids together, they weren't actually married. So it was indeed a joyous occasion! Rob's brother lives 2 doors down from us but our back gardens border each other in the way back because the lady in the middle (Sally) has a small back garden that is sort of wedged between ours. Anyway, that is how we were able to get back and forth through the hedge helping to set things up for the wedding.

We realized that all of us were wearing pretty much the same outfits we wore to Annie & Jeff's wedding last year (or was it the year before?).

The reception started at 4pm and finished around 12:30am. Kids left around 9:30pm and we had Lauren babysitting ours plus the 2 girls who were staying with us as part of the family we were hosting (Bex and Phil-the-DJ from Devon).

It was a lovely day - perfect weather, happy people, good food - and all went swimmingly. We helped tidy up the next morning for a few hours and then were happy to go back to our own lives for the rest of the weekend. We are so very happy for them, though.
