Thank you all for the lovely comments about the flowers. I can't keep the secret any longer, so if you go over here the story is being unravelled. My lovely friend Emma got married so please pop over to her blog to wish her wonderful family congratulations. She got married and we were there - she planned her beautiful wedding day and asked us to be part of it. I can't tell you how I felt when I received the invite - honoured, privileged, excited and overwhelmed by the warmth and kindness of a friend who I met because we both decided to write some words on the computer and publish them! To discover that we live just streets apart and share so many dreams and loves has been wonderful for me.
In the build up to her big day, I had been party to some of her plans. The wedding Emma wanted reflected her so beautifully - natural, pretty, friendly and warm. As I said before the story is not mine to tell but the day was perfection, filled with adults and children laughing, the sun shining (how lucky were you Emma), the most beautiful setting and the loveliest of newlyweds (Emma you looked a dream) - congratulations to you two and your gorgeous boys, and THANK YOU for letting us be a part of it.
Oh I forgot about the flowers - they were just one of oh so many posies of flowers that Emma had grown on her allotment for the day. Jars of gorgeous posies decorated the tables surrounded by handfuls of loveheart sweets - heaven!

Love is in the air as I too went to the most delicious wedding on saturday, not a dry eye in the house, the young bridesmaids dancing in their barefeet, lovely roses, laughter and good conversation, new friends and the most gorgeous and delightful home where the reception was. Kiss someone you love today, I am feeling romantic. X
That's a lovely happy tale. How lovely to have met a kindred spirit through writing, and then have it develop into a warm and valuable friendship. Jx
What a lovely thing to happen!
How nice that you found each other, so close by too!
You must have developed a very special relationship to then go to her wedding, clearly she thinks a lot about you!

Thanks for sharing that happy story. I went over to look at the photos of the bride and groom - lovely. Is there anything else like a summer wedding?

Thanks for your comment on my blog. Lots of layers is sounding good to me!!! We were meant to be camping this week but hearing the rain pounding against the windows as I type, I'm glad we didn't!!
Thanks for sharing the story. What a wonderful wedding. I so love weddings with wonderful personal touches and how great that you met through blogging!!
I was privileged enough to be invited to the wedding of Garden Girl, but I knew her before so that doesn't really count!! Stunning wedding though never the less!
oh that lavander! so pretty!
Oh I just love that she grew her flowers on the allotment! That is just wonderful! t.x

It is so special to find a kindred spirit through blogging but then to discover you live near each other is really great fun. I met another lady here in my city who also is a needleworker through my handwork blog. I just love having our online friendship blossom into a real life one too. What a happy day it must have been for all!
Hugs ~

How beautiful! You have such a wonderful way with words Kim -- it sounds like the perfect day!
What a lovely thing to have happened...and all because of blogging! And you have your gorgeous posy of flowers to remind you of the day. D x
Ahh the mystery is history.
Hi Kim
Do you think we should try and set up a sussex version of the vintage and handmade meeting? I do not want to pinch their idea by any means but obviously there must be quite a few people locally who cannot make it down to Chipping Sodbury but would like to meet locally. I dont know what your thoughts are?
Have asked Emma to blog more about her wedding! It was nice to seem some more photos via your blog. Weddings can be so wonderful now - less etiquette to be bogged down with -everything seems more free. My husband and I got so disillusioned 16 years ago that we thought bugger it and ran off and got married! Love Emma
Oh how fun! I love weddings! I'll have to go read your friend's story!
What a wonderful tale Kim - and how lovely for you to be a part of it all.....and soooo lucky with the weather too!

This is soooo romantic, I read about weddings like this in Country Living ect, but this is soo much better it's for real, with people who are your friends, it is magical. Events and days like this are what make the world a very special place; gosh I really wish all of our days were filled with friends and happyness, love and laughter....
Hugs Kim a lovely post, lovely.

Sounds lovely. It is so nice that she wished you to share in her special day.
What a lovely story Kim. How special that you should meet this way, share the same loves - to find you live only streets apart! wonderful. I wonder...like Michele if they will be others.
