I had the most wonderful week-end.....I attended my cousin's wedding in Kent - also known as "the garden of England" - and my daughter was a flower-girl. It was a humanist wedding - non religious - something none of us had attended before and it was amazing. The bride and groom are both academics, very successful in their chosen fields and so well suited it was wonderful to see - they truly did complete each other.
My cousin was just 19 when she fell ill in the US after spending her first university holidays working out there and she was rushed home after they discovered she had ovarian cancer.....she had a hysterectomy on her 20th birthday and began chemo and radiotherapy......things were very difficult for some time.....but she recovered, went back to university and graduated with a first class honours degree. She is now 40, has written books and papers, travels around the world presenting her research at various conferences and in three weeks time, he is giving up his career and they are moving to Brazil for three years where she has won a Wellcome Trust award to complete some research in her specialist field. Can you imagine how proud her parents are of her.....she is an amazing person.
The wedding took place at Bore Place, a beautiful 17th century manor house with its own walled garden, ponds, organic farm and vegetable gardens, water features, stables....they married under a 400 year old oak tree.....it was actually the only outdoor wedding I have been to, it was such a special day.
The bride looked fabulous in a French grey ballerina length off the shoulder 50's style dress and she was attended by her 5 flower girls who wore dusky pink. Friends of theirs did really moving readings and their former flatmates played Spanish guitar and sang music so beautiful that I don't think there was a dry eye in the house....or rather the barn, since that was where the reception was held. It really was a wedding to remember.
