Howling winds, torrential rain, umbrellas galore...or so the people on
the telly predicted. BUT none of this happened because I had a word, and the
weather was luuuverly. Moments of moody gloom short-lived and out-shadowed by a
gentle sun and a warm air. Moods were high, smiles were abundant and even the
ice cream lady was doing great business.
This was the wedding day of George and Maneet. George, archetypal
English gentleman (or ‘English Rose’ as lovingly termed by his new wife) and
Maneet, intelligent, forthright and beautiful; two cultures beautifully merged
in a tasteful nod to each and sprinkled with a good dose of fun from both.
I must thank The Larmer Tree’s wedding coordinator Carol, who is a gem of
a lady and made sure everything happened as it was meant to and never without a
huge smile on her face. Likewise, it was great to meet the band 'Rich Austin and The Maestros' and find out we
share mutual friends, always a bonus!
Lastly, to Maneet and George, a beautiful couple who were such fun to
work with, a pleasure to deal with in the run up to the day and who should be
safe in the knowledge that they pulled off a fabulous day. Your friends were
hilarious and I especially loved the 'alternative' best man's speech...bet you didn't see that one coming George?! Also, 'Lighting Boy' (so named by George's Dad) was amazing, I couldn't thank him enough! Your families were lovely and eccentric (the best combo!) and your love for each other, evident. I hope that your life together will be full of the love and happiness you both deserve and I thank you again for allowing me to play a small part in your journey together.
Go forth, eat chips and be happy ;-)
With much love,
Loukie xx
P.S. One final thank you...this one is to my boyfriend for forgiving me for taking off the wing mirror on his pride and joy. Next time I will take heed when warned about the dangers of country lanes, wind and branches. It did give everyone a good laugh though so every cloud n'all ;-)
