A Happy Aniversary

Thankyou Donna I've used this one because when Kate was born the lilacs were all out .

A very Happy Anniversary, to Catherine and Martin.

 

Sixteen years ago, on a lovely sunny April day my daughter Kate and her fancee’Martin got married at St Augustine’s church, because her Father had died seven years previously, she asked his older brother John to give her away, John was delighted he had no children of his own, so said he’d be honoured , I left for the church with the bridesmaids Joanne ,my sister Jeans daughter and Martins sister Tracy ,we arrived at the Church  which had been beautifully decorated ,it was so lovely to see all the family waiting ,Then the organ strikes up and my lovely ‘baby’girl came into the church on her Uncles arm ,well all Mothers of the bride know that feeling ,or feelings ! there are a multitude of them ,She walked down the aisle to meet Martin ,who had been sitting quietly, sometimes chatting and joking with Tony his best ,I could see he was nervous ,naturealy,but when Kate  joined him at the alter their smiles were so heart warming ,both these kids had lost their Dads early in their lives and they had suported each other when they were younger  through that time, My dear Mother had died ,just three months prior to this so Catherine got married with her Nana's wedding ring .After a lovely service ,and the photographs had all been taken we all went ,to a nearby hall were we enjoyed a lovely meal together ,Then in the evening all the friends that hadn’t been asked to the main part came along ,for the evening ,where we all danced all night ,chatted to family ,Just had a lovely time .

Kate and Martin are still as steadfast in their love and lives together as they were ,obviously they have had ,setbacks ,but they have given me two very precious Grandsons in Matthew and Samuel,They now own their own house and work hard ,Iam so proud of them ,Ilove them dearly and am truly blessed .

     With love to every one   Jan  xxx
