I've come over all misty-eyed. Jess lloks beautiful and they both look very happy. Will the horse be accompanying them on honeymoon?

Guy and all the other furries stayed home, but John's parents have gone on the honeymoon.

Not quite as crazy as it sounds - they could only come to Oz (from England) for two weeks, and spent the first week recovering from jet lag and helping with wedding preparations, so the only way John could get to spend quality time with them was to travel together.

Blimey. I hope they have separate bedooms, 100 yards apart.....with red flip flops guarding the honeymoon suite.....

Does Jess look like you Caroline? Apart from the hair colour I seem to detect a family resemblance.

[Liz Jay]

Hi Caroline

I think Jess looks like you as well! Her dress is gorgeous and so is the horse. When Mick and I got married we had a Beardie in some of the photos ....

Yes, despite hair and eye colour, people never have any difficulty working out that there is a close relationship

Yes ... people never have any difficulty working out that there is a close relationship

My son looks so much like his father he has been called 'aggressively legitimate'. As if my son wouldn't be legitimate!!

I have just come back from the first wedding of the year...

my friend Mike married his long term girlfriend Alison at Kitley House near Brixton (no, not that one... the one in Plymouth) and the weather was beautiful!

Interesting wedding - Mike is currently serving in the RAF (he has been in the army before) so he was in military get up - the wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast was suits etc and the evening's entertainment was black tie - so it neccessitated a quick visit back to ur B&B to change!

[Alexandra Thrift]

Thanks for the photos Caroline ! Just love the riding boots under the gown .... how my horse mad sisters would approve !

Jess looks very like you Caroline... except the blond hair... your hair was glossy,straight and nearly black, setting off your big brown eyes

Please peruse the private message I have left you. Sorry it took so long....I've been on a THREE MONTH course which finished yeaterday and I'm totally knac...er...exhausted

warm thoughts to all.

blimey thats a bit much two different dress requirements-they cant have expected everyone to have changed!

Im having a stricter dress code as there are a few people i know who would turn up in their everyday clothes-as i have to look at pictures for years to come i want them to look good!

we went to one like this in January 2001, the couuple had been togehter 13 years and had two children 12 and 6. sorry to say they are now divorced

[kerrensimmonds]

Well, that's cheerful!
Has anyone done any research on the relationship between 'living together before marriage' and 'divorce after marriage'? The only long-term living together friends I had, who eventually married with great ceremony, were divorced within two years...... But we must not generalise. I am sure that each and every case is individual.......
