Wedding day

I've missed a few days posting as we've been very busy with preparations for the wedding - hopefully I'll be able to catch up soon, but I've just got a few moments before we have to start getting ready so for those interested in the most up to date information, here we go.

Iain is currently on Sanibel Island spending some time with his brother and Lucy is with us in the villa so that she can travel with us to the wedding venue.  This to be held on a beach on Captiva Island just off the road at its northern most point.  The ceremony is scheduled for around 5:30 this afternoon just as the sun goes down.  The weather here this morning was overcast and misty, which after 4 days of continuous sun with temperatures in the 80s was disappointing, but this burnt off very quickly and by the time we got Lucy back from the hairdressers there was plenty of blue sky peeping through.  Hopefully the clouds will add to the sunset spectacle rather than spoil it.

I think we're all a little bit nervous (some, including me, more than others), but nothing has gone wrong so far and hopefully that will continue to be the case.

Iain stayed last night in the hotel he will be sharing tonight with his new wife and the boys went round to see him off with a good hearty meal, whilst the girls all came back to our villa for a bit of a hen party.

It still hadn't sunk in with Iain last night nor with Lucy this morning that the day they had planned so much for has finally arrived.

In less than 3/4 hour we'll all be setting off for Captiva and the adventure will have begun for real, so I'd better start getting ready myself.

to be continued ...
