Zoe and Keir

Where do I start...

The preparation was perfect - I particularly enjoyed the meeting where I discussed with a father the merits of coffee and the lack of true coffees in Asia.  To which he took out his phone and asked his friend to bring me some coffee for me from Hong Kong.

A very real pleasure - and this was before the bagpipes and the bottles of champagne were even mentioned!

Krittaya and Mum were the real heroes in this wedding - I simply helped to fill in the gaps and read the vows.

The wedding began with Dad on the beach playing his bagpipes for the arrival of Keir and mum.

Beautiful.

Then Zoe and the ladies arrived.

Beautiful.

Smiles shared, words spoken and tears wiped.

Beautiful.

Keir and Zoe shared a bottle and cut the cake.

Beautiful.

The night had some rain (and a rainbow) but this only served to be a good excuse for people to open their umbrellas - food was eaten at Panwa House, speeches were made, dances were shared.

Congratulations Zoe and Keir

How many ways?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

This is my favourite piece today - there are others.

These I Can Promise

Author Unknown

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;

I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;

I cannot promise you an easy pathway

That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart's devotion;

A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;

A love that's ever true and ever growing;

A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

I found these words on this website wedding forum

Heidi and Simon

Heidi and Simon were in Phuket to experience something special. 

The timing was organised and Simon was ready on time - although he did appear a little nervous as we were waiting in Panwa House for Heidi and the beers were supposed to help relax Simon but I think that he just kept smiling more.

When Heidi was ready we moved to the beach and calmly waited - Simon was very good and did not even glimpse behind whilst we were waiting for Heidi - who arrived gracefully and amid all of the guests on the beach. Beautiful.

Vows were spoken and rings exchanged.

Congratulations Heidi and Simon.
