The highlight of the trip – the wedding at Upwaltham Barns in Chichester. That is why we are in the UK at all. Otherwise we would’ve skipped London this time around.

Emerald is a very good friend of Ben’s. They both worked in the same place way back in the early 1990’s in Notting Hill. I guess they “clicked” and have been good friends ever since even though they stopped being colleagues for twenty years. So here we are celebrating, probably the happiest day of Emerald’s life. And probably the groom’s Irvine as well. 🤗😉

But as they say, a wedding is not an English wedding without some rain. And it is not just some rain. It’s pouring rain the whole day until late in the evening.

“I’m sure it is karma,” I jokingly whisper to Ben, “On Em for stealing your birthday weekend.”

“Shh… Don’t tell that to Em,” Ben responds jokingly. Emerald, in her message to Ben prior to official wedding invitation, mentioned that she had a good and a bad news.

“The good news is I’m getting married. The bad news is it will be on your birthday weekend.”

Despite the grumpy sky and chilly October air, it was indeed a happy day, celebrating the union of the beautiful bride Emerald Hector & the handsome groom Irvine Hector 💘

Loads & loads of congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Hectors. Love you both xx

p/s: Emerald, that gown is gorgeous…😉❤

And another thing:-

“Life is short, marriage is long” greeting on one of the wedding cards is from me, in case I forgot to sign my name underneath it. 🤔😁
