All Partied Out!

Good Afternoon Everyone, and I hope you are enjoying your sunny Sunday.
As you can imagine we are having a quiet day after the celebrations of last night.  We were only at the evening reception of our friend's Son's wedding but we really enjoyed the few hours there.  Nicola, the bride was just gorgeous, a stunning gown, and stunning shoes which she kept kicking off as her feet were killing her.  In fact, I'm sure as the night went on many pairs of shoes would have been abandoned as the heels of quite a few of them were incredibly large.  Beyond me how anybody can walk on them let alone dance, nevertheless, I still drooled over them.

Our friend's and Bridegroom's parents, Linda and Ian, looked wonderful and happy, everything had gone well, and for them it also meant having their family all together as their daughter Julie lives in Australia with her husband and two children, but came over for her brother's wedding.  Linda and Ian are just delighted to be able to spend time with their grandchildren.  Not having grandchildren myself I can only imagine what it must be like to have children and their little ones on the other side of the world.

Ian who is a Master Baker made the wedding cake, which was 3 layers of cupcakes with a square cake for the tradition of cutting the cake.

I have to say they were delicious., and here is the Master Baker himself with Linda;

Not the best picture, but hey ho, I don't have a photo of the Bride and Groom, mainly as they have all turned out pants, and the only one which is any good is of Nicola dancing with her little daughter and I wouldn't post that without permission, but here is  a photo of another happy couple;

Yes me and the lovely Alistair.

We then took ourselves off to Dougie's 6oth which was in full swing, and got there in time to see another wonderful cake;

Sadly, I didn't taste any of this one as I had already had wedding cake which pushed me well over my carbs limit, but it certainly looked good.  Dougie, is another of Alistair's hillwalking friends, hence the theme of the cake.

Towards the end of the night, the little band got together and played a few tunes,

They're singing "Ernie the Fastest Milkman in the West" at this point, their repertoire is eclectic. Don't know who the lady is though but she can certainly play the accordian, the other guy is another friend who joined in.

So, a great night was had by all, no doubt lots of aching heads this morning, not mine though, I drove us home, two slimline tonics the whole evening, I'm such a cheap date.

Now after all these photos here is the box I decorated for Nicola and Ian's wedding card, which I've shown before;

A much longer post than usual, and hope your not all bord with the photos.

Thanks to everyone who visited my last post and left lovely comments, please come again you are always welcome.

Bye for now
Hugs, Kate x
