clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth

I did a lot of clapping yesterday! Not just applauding the happy couple, but additionally along to some fab tunes at the disco. Happy definitely seemed order of the day - I've never seen the bride's parents beam so much, and the groom said his cheeks were hurting from so much delighted grinning! It was joyous to behold. And to participate in - I too did a lot of smiling, and also some crying! The heartfelt speeches moved me to tears several times. And one tricky moment when I couldn't connect with my kids and the emotion of the day all got to me, someone lovely just leaned against me til I got it back together - you know who you are, thankyou.

It was great to connect with people, some of whom I don't see often at all, or usually in person. Loud music made much conversing hard, but that's when connecting through the medium of dance comes in!! Pictured here is the tallest and smallest guest dancing together in joy :D

After several days of intense happenings and much driving with little sleep, I finally slept in for hours and hours. Today will be gentle tho it's about time I tidied up the drying tents strewn across every floor or hanging surface.
