47/52 Petals

This is a rose that was in a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I was given the flowers and Mark was given a bottle of single malt whiskey at a special dinner for he and a large group of his colleagues to celebrate their 25 years of service. Neither of us drink whiskey :0}

42/52 The Elopement

My good friend E was married this week, to her other half C, after a flurry of organising once they'd finally decided to do the deed, and not wait until the spring. With not even two pennies to rub together, a low-key ceremony was the order of the day with E's two daughters and two witnesses - myself and another - present, and afterwards back to their place after for a cuppa and a slice of cake. I was wedding chauffeur with ribbons on my car too, and the flowers were a gift from me. I loved it - a dress down wedding with almost no trimmings, but bags of love and committment, not a dry eye in the Register Office ;0)
