Family Wedding



This weekend we were all in Wales for my cousin, E's wedding - a real international affair. Originally from Wales, where her mum, dad and brother still live on the family farm, E has been in New Zealand for the last 5 years, and yesterday married M, a natualised Kiwi whose family are from Switzerland.

The wedding service included a Welsh male voice choir and a brass quartet from Switzerland. Some of the guest were German speaking Swiss, for many of the guests Welsh is their first language and the Best Man even gave a welcome in Mauri.

It's always lovely to meet up with family, and it was fantastic to see E's twin sister B (who also married a Kiwi and lives in NZ) and her 2 little girls S and C.

After days of rain and winds, the weather was beautiful, and despite several last minute hitches (icluding the brides mum spending 3 days in hospital this week) eveything went off brilliantly.
