Mr. and Mrs.

I was reading some of my previous posts this morning. If I had one observation to make it would probably be that there did not seem to be too much happiness mentioned over the last few weeks. Sometimes that can happen. I therefore think that it's time to note that sometimes we do actually manage to achieve our aim and smile a little.

We had a wedding last weekend. Not just any wedding though. It was our daughters wedding.

I think if you are looking for happiness and fun with a healthy dose of stress thrown in then a family wedding would be somewhere near the top of the list.

It went really well. It was fantastic fun. Everyone behaved, there was laughter and happiness and a good few tears of emotion. The venue was beautiful and to cap it all the sun came out and the sky stayed blue all day.

We had one or two minor meltdowns in the morning and a major crisis with two complete changes of outfit in the last five minuets before leaving. But this was to be expected. I am sure that the majority of female guests had their own version of this!

Other than this my wife was in her element. Happy and surrounded by family and lovely friends.

Of course, this is not really something that can be added to a planned programme of happiness. But if it comes along like it did for us then you have to grab it with both hands and go for it. The fact that we had a weekend that was completely free from any negative thoughts about health or the future was wonderful and very welcome.
