The morning after the night before....

My wife must be feeling a little brighter today...she's done nothing but moan about how little she's done today....so I've just reminded her that, despite doing nothing, she hasn't done enough to write her blog....and in true "husband does what his wife wants" here I am scribbling a few lines.

The last couple of days has been just as much of a blur as normal, actually that's not right...it has certainly been a lot more so. Wedding preparations went on at a pace...."outlaws" from the UK continued to arrive....but there were no last minute hiccups and everything went really really well. A truly great day that will give us so many memorable moments for a long time to come. Jilly paced herself and also did the Chapel, the meal and speeches and then came back for a third outing so as to be able to see the cake cutting, the first dance....and ended up doing a couple of dances herself.

I need to point out at the this stage that this "dancing" was nothing remotely resembling a normal Jilly Luce dance session.....As we all know, Jill likes to get on the dance floor early...and then stay there for the duration. Last night she danced with various family members, but I can assure our blog reader that at no time did Jill's feet move. I know it's difficult to believe, but it was a lot more of "gentle sway" than anything else. The important thing was that Jilly was there...and she got on the dance floor....so we all went home happy. Some of us were more tired than others...some a little drunker than others...but everyone had a really really good time. I won't dwell,because i'm sure Jill will want to say a bit more herself.

Other news over the last few days includes boat trips this morning for the English invaders....a trip to the hairdressers (with oxygen in tow) and a big decision this morning to get back on the Naproxen (that very helpful anti-inflammatory drug that we didn't want to take with the talc in the lung). Jill has been very uncomfortable since the drain was taken out...she feels tired...and has been put putting off starting the Naproxen for over 36 hours. Finally she took some this afternoon.....if luck the effects will kick in and allow Jill to get a full nights sleep this evening.

Steve's written this post on the iPad , so I'll have to add photos later. It's was an incredibly moving, emotional and beautiful day , the bride was stunning and the groom brushed up quite well too!

The speeches were excellent ( OK , so I'm biased) , the flower arrangements spectacular, the cake was amazing and most things went according to plan, ( and the other stuff that didn't nobody knew about anyway ).

I was so pleased to be a part of it, despite needing two breaks in between , where my every need was catered for, drivers, carers, waiters, oxygen bearers etc.

Today I have only moved from the kitchen to the sitting room bed, talked a bit, slept, rested and watched tennis.

It's been very lovely seeing my family , although frustrating that I can do nothing in the way of being a 'hostess' , more of a 'please could you do this job, that job, etc etc) .. And even then often my brain doesn't engage .

Thankful for the the lovely messages of support, well wishes for the happy couple, and appreciative of all the offers of help I/we have had over the last few weeks / months .

Thank you xxx
