Thanks Wolram, do keep us posted and get fresh batteries to make pictures
 
Getting spliced sounds painful! :biggrin: :smile: I just love the way you use language. :smile: Wish her the best of luck for me! And if it rains, just remind her that's good luck...it means that the sky has shed all the tears so the bride will never need to shed another one during the marriage. :approve:
 
I'm really happy for you all. I wish her and her partner all the best. And please make sure you get a photo of you in your suit. I just love weddings.

Not to worry about grammar or bits. The point is that it comes from the heart.

Oops i keep forgetting slang, i hope to get some pictures from my brother to post, all mine came out to dark.
There should be some cute one's, the flower girls 3yrs and 4yrs old, the brides maids ,and of course the bride and groom.
Our clan now covers England, Southern and Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, i think every one went away with some new good friends.
