Today was our very first English Wedding – We arrived at the church in Badsey and walked in with our pram seated right by the videographer (a great way to ensure that Tom and Lucy hear Elsie’s cries over their wedding vows). During the processional Elsie gave her own toast with a large mud slide (in baby land poops are very special!) – we had to excuse ourselves outside for a quick change and then elsie was a sleepy head for the rest of the ceremony. Grammie gave elsie the little hair bow and it was very cute with her white dress – although we realized that a traditional english wedding has lots of feather plumed head pieces, I felt under-head-dressed.

The wedding was beautiful – this weekend 30 years ago Lucy’s parents, Patsy and Antony were married in the same church. Lucy was gorgeous! After the ceremony we all headed across the street to the Sladden Barn for the celebration.

Here are Doctors Tom and Lucy (Miller) Lee! with little elsie bean.

The barn was totally decked out -flowers were done by two of patsy’s friends and Lucy actually decorated her own cake. We had yummy lamb with potatoes and peas followed by a rhubarb creme brulee – delish!
Elsie again was a super champ – sleeping it up through dinner and waking just to eat a few times and then was happy to be held by Patsy and Alison. We got her home around midnight and she is ready for bed – this cute little hat was knitted by ann shires (from New Zealand) especially for Elsie (it fits her little noggin quite well). This look means we have a rough night ahead – she will show us for keeping her out all night.
