Yesterday\u2019s wedding of my second adult niece, Grace, was always going to be a bit of a tough one, given that Mum passed away just three days beforehand.<\/p>\n

But, we rallied round, shipped ourselves up to Stoke on Trent and I think that Grace had a lovely day nevertheless.<\/p>\n

And bless her new groom, Adam, for mentioning what possibly a few people who didn\u2019t know him may have been thinking, which is that he knew he was punching well above his (not inconsiderable!) weight in bagging my rather lovely niece \u2013 especially as she is a nutritionist and has a bit of a job on her hands with him! Even the vicar marrying them said Adam had been rather lucky….<\/p>\n

Anyway \u2013 luckily the sun was out, the barn venue was stunning and Richard made a lovely mention of Mum and a toast was raised in his speech, which felt absolutely fitting.<\/p>\n

Nice shot of all three of his girls \u2013 poor Jess is 5 months pregnant so had to get out of her bridesmaid\u2019s dress shortly afterwards as it was getting a tad tight… hence she is in green in the next shot!<\/p>\n
