Oh and it’s our 8th wedding anniversary today 🥰 8 years since the coolest wedding ever, we had a group ceremony with 6 other couples, all strangers to us, in the Royal Festival Hall on London’s South Bank, up on the stage beneath the world’s largest organ. We had trumpeters and an a cappella choir and a big band in the ballroom. It was wild!
@purplepadma Happy anniversary! Looks like a really fun wedding!
@hugh It was SO fun! Everyone really enjoyed it
@purplepadma I cannot believe it’s 8yrs ago!!! You both looked stunning.
@anniewatkinsin Hi Annie! Yes, a long time. You and I have known each other a good few years!! How have you been lately? Xx
@purplepadma I’m ok thanks. Apart from my OH been in hospital with encephalitis!! Took ill on a family holiday in Spain with all the kids/grandkids. Been an awful month! He’s Home now so fingers crossed x
@anniewatkinsin Oh no! I was awful when Tom was taken ill abroad, did your OH have to stay in hospital in Spain for long?
@purplepadma No thankfully. He spent 24hrs there with heat stroke diagnosis. Then we flew home and ended up in A&E and a month in hospital here with brain infection ! Not heat stroke! So glad we made it home
@anniewatkinsin Oh that’s a blessing. It was so hard when I had to come home by myself leaving Tom facing surgery in a hospital in rural France. Worst honeymoon ever 😹😹😹
@purplepadma

@purplepadma Not bad. Busy Tuesday ahead, followed by another golf lesson with Mark, which is ALWAYS interesting.
