Once I got round to sorting out my wedding photos, there weren't many which were worth sharing. When we arrived, Robin was still sorting out things in the amazing geodesic bamboo and canvas tent. At 1pm there was only one "Mr&Mrs Almond" present - but of course, by the end of the ceremony there were two couples! Here we see Old Mr Almond chatting with younger Mr Almond! The bunting is also Old, and Borrowed [it was lovely to hear so many compliments on its woodland colours] I think this was at least its 8th outing. I've lost count of how often its been used for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries etc.

Some Things Old, New, Borrowed And Blue
Here is the bride in the woods, with her father, and her two sisters [the bridesmaids] in their New Blue and ivory outfits.
Robin and Gillian's children, James and Breagha were there - James resplendent in his little kilt. Breagha nestled snuggly under a blanket in her buggy - she's the Newest girl in the family. She was born about 3 months before Jacob.
Later the splendid woodland-themed cake was sliced - with the Old Japanese sword which originally belonged to Robin's grandfather, and Borrowed for the occasion. James was eager to assist his parents with this task!
A great day, and very appropriate for Robin and Gillian, who love all things outdoors, especially forests.
That all looks amazing, the cake especially.

DeleteAn absolutely wonderful wedding. Thankyou for sharing, I loved the ladies outfits, so appropriate for the setting
ReplyDeleteThe jumpers were beautifully warm - Gillian took hers off later - her dress had a pretty bodice with spaghetti straps. One she can wear again!
DeleteThank you for sharing the photos. That cake looks great! For a minute, though, when I read your opening sentence, I thought you were going to share photos of your wedding (yours and Bob's wedding!) :D
ReplyDeleteHa!! That was long ago in another century
DeleteHow beautifully perfect! May they live happily everafter!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
👍❤️✅
DeletePastor Bob looks very dapper in his Trilby! The bride and maids look beautiful and that shade of blue is so lovely. Goes without saying that I totally approve of the kilts!
ReplyDeleteI thought you would like the kilts, A!
DeleteA very lovely wedding! Thank you for posting such joy.

DeleteWhat a lovely colour scheme. I'm a sucker for wedding photos at the best of times. The cake is most intriguing.

DeleteTotally agree that Mr Almond Snr was born to wear that hat. What a lovely wedding dress. So unusual and elegant
ReplyDeleteShe looked stunning! And yes, the Rev does look good in his hat and fancy overcoat
