The sun shone all day and the Wedding in the Grove was utterly delightful. Humanist Weddings are each unique, completely personal and so special and this was no exception. The bridesmaids carried small bouquets of bluebells and greenery from the garden, miniature copies of the Bride’s flowers. The Wedding party came in to the grove to the lilting sound of a harp and after the very moving Ceremony, left to more beautiful harp playing. The harp was later left by the fountain.

Yesterday was also the best, weather-wise, of the Spring, sun all day, no wind and just perfect for the Wedding Ceremony. 🙂

Exactly my thought too. A fairy tale wedding conducted by the beautiful fairly god mother. 🙂
