Here I have been writing about the state of the world and I am supposed to write about the wedding today says my daughter. Well we still haven't had the okay says I.
I missed quite a bit, the cutting of the cake for a start, and the noisy evening of dancing. But there was a lovely little video of Ellie miming to a song by Taylor Swift - Love Story (Swift is a favourite of Tom). Ellie picks up something and gives it to Tom, who then goes down on one knee to propose, a second time? Someone took the video, hopefully someone will be able to uplift it to my computer. A lot of the time I was very close to tears. I think, because there was so much love and happiness between the two of them.
There were formal photos to be had, one of the groom's family together, as here....
And one of the signing with best man and best girl to witness. Tom's best man was called Harry and he spent most of his time with our family, probably dazzled by Matilda (she could pick up a sugar daddy any day:) Anyway his story of meeting Tom was this..... he had seen Tom moving in at the uni and thought he was the young brother of an elder brother moving in. Was somewhat surprised it was Tom moving in. They got on well, and Harry who was a bit older and had let us say a slightly dissolute youth decided to emulate Tom in his ways and they shared a flat from thereon. He is another good person to know and he has been asked to visit us in Tod. As an aside, we did not have as many relatives as the bride did, there must have been a lot of cousins.....
So once more a traditional wedding in the family. In a traditional country house in Cheshire. Funnily enough we also were in Wales, at least on the border, though I would not call it Wales but there was Welsh signage about. Andrew heaved a huge sigh of relief when we got back to the steep sided valleys of West Yorkshire, he didn't like the soft landscape of Cheshire.
Tom and Ellie live in a fairytale at the moment, long may it continue. A truly happy wedding and marriage to be..
