Another wedding! This time, it was just a case of putting my best coat on and walking down to the village church, where Georgie and Paul were making their vows. And what a perfect order of service.
They wanted to observe St George's Day and Shakespeare's birthday, both of which are today. In England we don't usually make a lot of this special day, so it was such a treat to do something about it. We sang that lovely hymn about 'when a knight won his spurs in the stories of old', and one of the readings was my favourite Shakespearean sonnet - 'Let me not to the marriage of true minds...'.
If you're not familiar with these, or can't find a copy, let me know and I'll put the full texts on the blog. And, of course we had 1 Corinthians 13 - 'if I have not love, I am nothing'.
And in answer to your questions, yes, she looked beautiful, yes, there were a few tears from guests, yes, the flowers were very pretty, cream roses and anemones. And the weather -
you can't have everything.
