Dearly Beloved

We are gathered here tonight in Lincolnshire, England, in the sight of God and this company, to witness and celebrate one of life's greatest moments, to give recognition to the worth and beauty of love, and to add our best wishes and blessings to the union of Tim's nephew, Thomas, and his bride-to-be, Ella. The wedding is tomorrow but we're kicking off the celebrations tonight.

The day of the wedding is bright and sunny just like the tulips Tim's sister, Tessa, planted in her garden for the occasion.

The beautiful bride is ready.

Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Hood! Yay!

You may kiss the bride.

After the nuptials we drive back to Tessa's house for the reception which begins with greetings and champagne on the lawn.

And a fascinating array of fascinators it is.

The newlywed's first dance.

The oldyweds cheer them on.

The grand finale is a spectacular display of fireworks.



Thank you Thomas and Ella and for inviting us to be a part of your amazing wedding day. Congratulations!

After a few more days of visiting relatives we make our way to the pretty town of Windsor and check into the historic Sir Christopher Wren Hotel for the night.

Windsor is famous for, you guessed it, Windsor Castle, favourite hangout of Her Majesty - no, not Sandi - the Queen.

Off to warmer climes. Santé! (That's a hint)...
