yes ladies ! this wedding was to rival that of Princess Dianas to Charles !
we woke at about 6am, couldn't sleep any longer & all the girls immediately put cucumber on their eyes
- a vintage touch ! keeps puffiness down.
then we went off to the hairdressers at 8am
* came home around 11 and the makeup artist was there to make us all beautiful
..... the photographer arrived at 11.30 - don't they take over !!!!
and then time flew
- the cars arrived and we were all on our way - it was all a blur.
The rain had held of all morning
but it started to rain as we were getting in the cars & poured til we got to the church
* then the sun came out.....
what a relief
& *thanks for all the prayers - they were definately answered*
the wedding ceremony was lovely
Garth the groom was crying as my gorgeous daughter walked down the aisle...
then on to the reception
- food, music, wine - all wonderful.
The speeches were all really lovely and they loved the quilt.
this is what I said when I gave them the quilt at the reception:
when Louisa and Garth told me they were thinking of getting engaged – I
immediately thought ‘wedding quilt’
– which means I had to start something and
also finish it and I had about a year to do it .
This quilt is a labour of love
– many dramas have happened while I was working on it
* you just don’t know how
relieved I was when that last stitch was done.
So Louisa & Garth - I hope your life is like this
quilt –
made with love ; keeping you warm & safe through the many ups &
downs that come with life -

where is my vintage hankie when I need it... that speech was so beautiful just like the mother of the bride.
I bet Garth's were not the only tears shed that day. I'm sure you shed a few whilst you presented them with that beautiful quilt and made such a lovely speech.
What a wonderful day to remember forever.
What a priceless day the wedding day must have been, I love hearing about everything and seeing your wonderful pictures. I love it that the groom was moved to tears. I'll bet the mother of the bride loved it more = ). The gowns are so pretty, I like the color and design too. How special for the sun to come out and shine upon all the happiness!
Forgot to say, I think your wedding quilt was a wonderful idea too! What a treasure for your daughter.
aww what a precious day, that's so cool that Garth had tears in his eyes. Not many guys show their emotions like that.
I love the idea of a wedding quilt ~to be treasured always~ and what a lovely speech!
That is so sweet, I 'd like to have a quilt like that one too! Love all your turquoise dresses.
Beautiful :-)
Robyn, I have been trying to post comments on your blog for three days, but for some reason they just don't 'stick', so I do hope this works. I didn't want you to think I was ignoring your wedding photos and description! You all looked beautiful - loved the blue of the girls' dresses! Your speech would do credit to a Toastmaster - perfect speech for a perfect quilt..
