Instead of the lavish church wedding with hundreds of guests that I’d imagined, Jon and I had a civil ceremony with only our immediately family and a couple of close friends present. We all travelled together on a vintage coach with the sun shining through its open roof. The grating gears and frequent stalling all added to the fun.
During the ceremony I managed to keep both my emotions and nerves under control and for once did not end up sobbing hopelessly, even when the registrar pronounced us man and wife.
After a splendid meal at a restaurant in the village, we walked the short distance home and enjoyed the remainder of the evening on the front lawn.
Our actual wedding was nothing like the one that I planned all those years ago, but I cannot imagine a better day than the one we had. The day that I got to marry my Prince all my dreams came true and it was the happiest day of my life.

I'm wondering if the lady in blue to your prince's right is your sis and if the lady on the left, closest to me in the foreground is your Mom???? The dinner looks like it was in a very lovely spot.
