Good afternoon folks i hope you all had a fabulous weekend, well my grandson Caid got over his tummy bug his sister Lexi also went down with it but they were both ok for the wedding but my poor daughter keely felt ill all day Saturday and she ended up being sick all night Saturday luckily by the time we travelled home on Sunday she was a little better now hubby and i have stinking rotten colds as it happens hubby has stayed in bed today.

Here are a couple of wedding pics that i took,there were some tears as my daughter-in-law Lauren's mum died on Lauren's 18th birthday so her mum's sister cried all through the ceremony.

I think Lauren must have been thinking about her mum in this one so Aaron took her to her mum grave to place her bouquet there but i'm sure her mum would have been watching and would have been very proud.


Aww just look at Caid and Lexi in the front how cute are they lol.
