Wonderful news.  Many congratulations Emma & Richard.  Lots of love, J&P x

Men!  Emma did look lovely in a silk, deep purple, fitted dress with a V'd collar and straight chiffon arms; plus similarly coloured, high suede shoes.  Richard looked equally fetching with (as well as the lounge suit!) a purple shirt and tie, and not forgetting the Tiffany cufflinks - all very coordinated!

The ceremony was great; friendly and inclusive with beutiful poems being read; the food at the club was excellent, and the disco later had us all rocking until we dropped in true Merlin style.  To cap it all, it was a beautiful day showing Hayling at it's very best - they say the sun shines on the righteous!  All in all a lovely day.

With love and congrats from me too!!!  Judexxx
