My Baby Sister Gets Married

Amy is twenty-five, I probably shouldn't still be calling her my baby sister but I always will.  This Saturday Amy and Ian were married in Paignton, it was a beautiful day.  Here is Amy arriving at the church:
Amy's best friend, sister-in-law and nieces were her bridesmaids:
Mr and Mrs Hayes:
My older sister Leah is more than a little accident prone, mostly due to her being partially deaf and unable to balance very well.  Two days before the wedding she stood on an eight inch nail sticking out of a piece of wood (I'm still shuddering at the thought of that) and is currently wheelchair bound.  I think she rocked the wheelchair and sock look:
Isn't Ben handsome?  There are girls falling for him already:
My little man Noah:
Rosie loved being a bridesmaid:
Ethan likes to pull faces when I finally track him down to take a photo:
I had to add a picture of the bunting I made for the reception, I had deformed fingers after all that cutting and sewing:
After food, speeches and toasts we drove the four hours to the London Temple to witness Amy and Ian's sealing.  A family friend who used to be our bishop many years ago is now a temple sealer and was able to perform the ceremony, it was beautiful. 
I am so happy for Amy and Ian, they are adorable together.  And they get to honeymoon in Paris!

Mr And Mrs Peres

I'm so happy for Gemma!  (So is she, can you tell?)  I've known Gemma for a long time but I've gotten to know her really well over the last four years when she moved close by with her young family after her husband had left her, pregnant and with two toddlers.  I saw her grieve and adapt to her new life, raising three incredible boys on her own.  I also saw her become a strong, confident woman... and find the true love of her life!  Gemma and Nick tied the knot on Saturday and it was such a beautiful day.  Don't they make a handsome family? (I love that Jamie is hiding behind his brothers!):
Sisters:
I think all weddings should come with pick and mix sweets on the table:
The first dance:
The reception was held in Mary Tavey on Dartmoor and as we drove home over the moors I got to see my favourite sky: grey clouds and sunshine!  The perfect ending to a perfect day:
(News flash:  I wore a dress, the first time I've worn one since my own wedding day... photo to follow!)
