With this ring...

My brother's sister-in-law Kathy got married today to Dan, so I went along to the evening reception tonight after work - she looked absolutely beautiful, as did the bridesmaids and the mothers of the happy couple. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the service because of work (craziest day ever, by the way - didn't get near the computer from mid-morning onwards, was just dealing with customers and taking orders the rest of the day!) but I heard it was lovely.

It was also an incredibly sad day - Kathy's grandad, her mum's father, had taken very ill earlier in the week... he passed away in hospital this afternoon, and the family found out during the wedding meal. It must have been so hard for them to continue on and put that grief on hold - they were so strong. Tomorrow will be very difficult as they stop and it all sinks in.
