Well as you can see, it was a happy wedding despite the torrential rain that started falling just after N and V took their vows, a good omen people assured me repeatedly. I believe it too.
There are other photos of course, but I will start a new Wedding blog for interested parties. Huh. That's a joke.
Anyway, the wedding was wonderful. Hats off to Vicky for meticulous planning, right down to the placing of guests at tables which turned out to be the most difficult of all as there were two fathers, one stepfather, two mothers and one stepmother to be placed at dinner. It wasn't at all a Four Weddings and a funeral affair, much more a When we were...??? (that Joyce Carol Oates book about reconciliation?) and I still have that lovely feeling in the pit of my stomach, memories of a beautiful and healing weekend.
Right! Now for the dogs. The cute puppies have turned into greedy monsters who bite and scratch. Nearly 5 weeks old, they now eat, eat, eat, eat, sleep and play, in that order. Great fun. I want to do this again.
And, books? Quarter of the way through Wally Lamb, a leviathan of a book focused on the Columbine High School massacre but wandering along through all sorts of byways. I don't know what I think yet as am reading it too slowly. Finished all the Simon Gray I can handle for now and have his plays to dip into.
I'm a rather dismal reader at the moment actually, preferring by far to play Solitaire on my phone. How pathetic is that!
