A blessing – in more ways than one.
Just back from officiating at a blessing. This usually happens when there’s been a divorce in the background, but not in this case.
The bride and groom were married in Japan, because the bride is Japanese. Today they had a ceremony here in Norfolk, for all their English family and friends.
It was such a happy occasion. The bride’s mother and father were over from Japan, and the young couple had produced a beautiful wedding booklet with the whole of the service written out in it, and decorated in Japanese style with a single branch of blossom.
The bride looked stunning in the most gorgeous white dress with an incredibly long train, and after the ceremony they were all off to the reception in a marquee in the groom’s parents’ garden.
I like weddings. And blessings.
