Moved offices and took a few of these.
Sat staring at it for half an hour.
Life’s pretty good!

Happy Friday! I’m up to my elbows and knee deep in wedding celebrant training.
Currently writing a full ceremony for a fictitious couple.
Karinda and Eleanor, from Bristol and marrying in Brighton.
I’ve written a lovely back story about how they met at the university’s induction day and became flatmates. One is a professor and the other a scientist.
It’s an intimate ceremony with just their friends.
The ceremony is making me cry with joy as I write it so no idea how I’m going to be able to present it!

Image description. This is a picture of the entrance to @ovolohotels fortitude valley. Such a fab location and where my sister an I stayed for her hens weekend. The wall has large palm frong wallpaper and gorgeous pink velvet couches. Round black tables with magazines and smaller cushion topped round stools are scattered over the tiled floor.

—————
Good evening everyone, I am Natasha’s big sister, Jessica. Thank you to everyone who has helped Natasha and David today, the love in this room is huge and so nice to be a part of. Natasha you look absolutely stunning and David you are the most handsome man in the room. 👰🏼🤵🏼 I’ve known Natasha her entire life, as a baby changing her nappy and she weed on me! Through primary school when Selby, our family dog and I would pick her up from after school care. To her high school years when for a short time we were flatmates, before she went to boarding school! Natasha is my best friend and for years we have talked about when her husband would turn up and she could start having the babies. Welcome David!
I can’t wait to become the annoying aunt who sends your kids a drum kit for their birthday, and takes them to theme parks and fills them up with sugar! But most of all I am so glad that Natasha found you David. Someone who recognises her for her kindness and beautiful soul, and will support her through her life. As a family we knew you were perfect for Natasha when you moved in together, and she told us you started to have naps and occasionally enjoy sitting on the couch with a blanky! I wish you both all the happiness in the world. Now, as a request from the bride and groom we are going to play a game called ‘the shoe game’. Both David and Natasha will hold one of each other’s shoe and raise the one they think answers the question best.

The question captured in the third photo is ‘who hogs the blankets more?!’ Thank you @laurenbythesea for winging her way to the other side of the world and capturing the day.
