I forgot to mention on my last post that my kids were involved in the Christmas production. Daughter 1 was in a play and daughter 3 was in a dance. They did really well and it's great that they are able to have these opportunities here.
So, now onto the wedding.... Situated on squeaky white sand under the coconut trees, the sun shining but a cool breeze blowing, the groom awaited his bride. Now let me let you in on some details of our relationship to the bride and groom. We really met properly about 4 years ago although we knew the groom since he was about 14yrs and I had met the bride once or twice before this. We happened to get to know each other through a friend who was living in our caravan and we had a mutual love for India. Over the years our relationship changed from acquaintance to almost parent/accountability to a very strong and close friendship. We probably know all there is to know about each other, strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures. We have known each other in the highs and in the absolute lows. I don't know if there is anything we do not know about each other. We are completely vulnerable and bare before each other. I am so pleased we have been able to share in their wedding day, I couldn't have bared to miss it.
Back to the wedding.... The bride appeared radiant, she looked stunning. The two looked like a picture out of a fairytale and I felt like I had been plonked into a page of a book. Their vowels were enough to make anyone cry with words of poetry oozing from both of them. The reception was fantastic, the food magnificent and more speeches that caused lumps in the throat. What a terrific and memorable time we had.
Son 3 was page boy and got to run up with the rings and give a high 5. He was given a sweet from the groom... missed the high five so came back for a second one. He looked real cute.
