Last Valentine’s day my mum surprised us all by proposing to Darren. They planned to get married in 2009 which would be their 20th anniversary. We had many conversations about the wedding over Skype and I witnessed a renewed romantic spark in their relationship. They decided to have the wedding in my aunt and uncle, Lyn and Biddy’s, garden. They chose to make it a double wedding with my cousin Pip and her partner Geoff.

The wedding took place on the 14th of February 2009. It was a great celebration with lots of family and old friends. It was a very special day and many people commented on how good it was to get everyone together for a big celebration.

The weekend was beautiful with clear blues skies and a real English garden setting. Mum and Darren glowed with happiness.
