how life changes...

Five years ago we were standing at Peckham Registry Office, there i was in my Viv dress, Borough Market flowers, Mr Loveliness, brown linen suit (that was swopped for shorts when done!), our folks and siblings. My ring was tucked away after it had just been dropped off by (patient) jeweller Jeremy Hicks from the other side of London on his motorbike.

If a bird had whispered into my ear then that fast forward 5 years and you'll be mama to almost three, living outside of London, driving a Discovery with a black lab plus all the other changes we've gone through I'd have said no, that can't be. Hey!, it is and yes life is incredibly different and I'd be untruthful to say I don't miss those days but i wouldn't change what i have now for the world. 

Our wedding day as I'm sure everyone says was the best, for us it was, it suited us, local, only close family and friends. Hubby and Pop went to Borough market at 7am to collect fresh pastries for our champagne and pastry breakfast which we tucked into on our return from Peckham Registry Office. Later our neighbours amazing company put on the best canapes and gorgeous staff that went on for hours with flowing champagne which seemed forever and was incredibly delicious, the sun shined all day, we danced and then enjoyed a DIY serve yourself and be merry b-b-q with my dad on constant hand as chief of the charcoal!

I've taken some time this morning reminiscing and showing mini1 the pics as she is very keen and excited about the anniversary (she thinks celebration = party and cake!) and she loves to lok at photos and always says "tell me about it"

I'm sharing below 2 snaps, not your usual wedding snaps but one that shows the wonderful work of Vivienne Westwood and the flowers of July and another that is not exactly a wedding pose it makes me chuckle, it's probably one of the images that would not be included in the album for most, mmmm i wonder what we were saying?
