The Wedding - Family

Patrick's family were out in full force, from Scotland and from Wales.    And our family were there too, from England and the Netherlands.    It would have been great to have Darren there too, and of course all our other family members from Australia and New Zealand.  But those countries are a great distance away.   Thank goodness we have the  internet, which is a great way of sharing experiences.  

Donna and Emma, two beautiful sisters.   
Emma, sharing lots of smiles with Kylie and Mary.    Mary is Patrick's mother.    Mary wore a very elegant green dress and Kylie wore an equally elegant gold dress.
The bride with her attendants, Rose, Molly, Lucy and Emma.   Donna's dress was ivory, and the bridesmaids dresses were a shimmery blue.   Lucy and Molly had white net over their skirts.   The bouquets were made with fresh roses.
Donna and Patrick, with Scott and Lucy and Patrick's daughter, Molly.     I love this photograph.
Walter and I, dressed for the occasion.   Walter, looking very dapper in his suit, and me, looking the part, as mother of the bride, in my clingy dark pink dress.   I might add here that my lipstick and nail polish also matched the dress.
The cutest little bridesmaid.    Molly.
Aaron and Kylie, getting a family photograph taken with Raphy, Mia and Abi.  
Emma and Steve, getting their family photo taken, with Jackson and Isabel.
Cousins together.    Lucy posing with Mia.    Raphy was determined that he would not get his photograph taken.   He enjoyed running up and down the slopes and falling over, so that his new outfit was soon covered in grass stains.   Typical boy.
Scott looking a little tense at this stage.   He was about to give his speech, which he did, very eloquently.   It was a lovely speech as well.
Patrick and Donna with Patrick's family.    A large one like ours, only Patrick has four siblings, whereas Donna has three siblings.

Our family, minus Darren of course.
Darren was in Australia, but kept in contact with us.   We missed you Darren, and Jay and Jespa, and Billie Joe too.
