Last week we had the joy of returning to the church where we were married–seven years ago this June–for a celebration of the wedding of Emily’s sister Sally to our new South African brother-in-law, Elrick. The wedding day was superb and packed with chatting, laughing, singing, catching-up, dancing, and eating and more eating. Since Emily was a bride’s maid and I was occupied with making sure flower girl Poppy made it down the aisle successfully, we weren’t actually able to take any pictures during the service. We did get some at the reception, but looking back we wish we had taken more.

What’s more, Poppy fell asleep in the car on the way to the reception and didn’t get crackin’ with the party until well after the main reception meal. At least Mummy and Daddy were able to sit and enjoy the delicious lamb though! But this also means that we didn’t get many pictures of Poppy looking like a perfect princess. Next to the bride, she and Emily were the two most beautiful ladies there!

We ended up partying until well after 11pm, with live music and barn dancing. All in all, it was a wonderful day and we look forward to getting to know our new brother-in-law more and more in the future. Congratulations, you guys!
