Just a quick to post to say that we both survived! We are both back from our honeymoon having had the most amazing time. I have so much to say but am a little too overwhelmed to say it! The wedding was amazing. We had a small registry office ceremony, but it was much nicer than I thought it'd be - the man officiating was very nice and gave a lovely speech, although the marriage part of the day is such a blur, I can hardly remember what he said!

The honeymoon was also wonderful, we spent two weeks in the deepest of rural idylls, away from anyone else, peaceful in our newly re-kindled love. And that was the point of it, to be just us, to have nothing cloud our first two weeks of wedded life. It was happiness at its most beautiful.

Now it is back to business, lots of washing, tidying, cleaning and homemaking to do. The house was left rather in a state, because we had little time and were far too tired from the wedding itself to do very much at all! But I am glad to be back, with ideas, memories and thoughts afresh, ideas to transform into reality. To be back with my husband and our dog, who also enjoyed a holiday with my mother, as our little family.

I am not going to cloud this post with anything bad - but there is news of a less-positive nature too, which I'll detail when I next turn the computer on - after the main housework has been done. Thankyous to all who have sent well-wishes, they were warmly received and have made our big day the best it could've been. The picture above? That was my bouquet - the most beautiful I've ever seen.
