Our week prior to the 21st was filled with last minute preparations and organising for the handfasting. While there was also the usual mundane stuff like work, kids at school (including Sarah doing her A-level examinations) there were also lots of little things that were needed to make the handfasting go smoothly.
Knowing that we would have little time this week, James pushed cleo very hard at the end of last week in her physio, getting her doing walking and various other exercises for long periods. I am sure this stood her in good stead for yesterday.
Last monday was a big day: our friends Lisa and Fred from America were flying in and I was off to Heathrow to collect them.
The time passed quickly and before we knew it, we were at the grange and the moment is upon us , months of planning,what a beautiful ceremony it turned out to be, with many friends in attendance and all the plans falling into place. I think everyone had an enjoyable day.It certainly was something very different.
(this from cleo)
Everyone said the ceremony was very much "us" and i (Jen) have to agree because the whole handfasting event was very much me and is a day i shall always remember with a passion more so even than my legal wedding day.
The 21st June is now an additional day we shall celebrate each year along with 14th Febuary and 17th January as well as our birthdays... although i might just start taking the numbers off my age from now!!!
