It’s official!

It’s official!

Hi there,

Thanks for popping in!

Just got back from the most wonderful weekend ever.

We had the absolute best time! The sun was shining, our friends and family came together,

– and we tied the knot! Signed, sealed and delivered!


So it’s official. Dave and I are husband and wife (I shall be keeping my GRAY name though).

Didn’t have a phone on me, nor an Ipad – nothing. Just an exquisite hat made by Mandy, and a beautiful bouquet of handmade paper flowers made by Rebecca. Living in the Craft World certainly has its benefits! You know what they say : it’s not what you know – it’s WHO you know!! And I know some very clever ladies! More shall be revealed when the photos roll in.

For now, I would like to thank everybody who helped make our wedding day such a wonderful occasion. There are moments I will lock in my heart forever. And those that were there know what I mean.

Time to have a cuppa, and reflect….

Love & Hugs,

Barb

You are both always smiling as you love to help other people every day of your lives, but these smiles are different. They are bigger and reflect in the happy glint in your eyes. They show the joy you have in becoming husband and wife – something for you both that is so very much deserved. Love always Rx
