It was a whirlwind of love. A joyous blast. A meeting of so many from all over the world, converging to celebrate two remarkable individuals joining together and growing into something even better.
From the moment we stepped off the plane we were fully immersed in the magic of it all. From stumbling into the joint hen/stag dos; preparing the magnificent venues on the Wormsley Estate; a rehearsal, dinner and drinks reception for the wedding party and those travelling from afar; and onto the day itself. And what a day it was – travelling by vintage bus; entering All Saints Marlow to the sound of harp and strings; a service full of love demonstrating their deep faith; the church bells chiming before more vintage buses to Wormsley. And then straight to a drinks and canopies reception with string quartet on the terrace of the Garsington Opera House. Then a meal, toasts, games and dancing in the Boundary Room on the edge of the cricket ground at Wormsley till late. The sun shone, the views were spectacular and everyone had…well everyone had a complete ball.
It was everything you could hope from a wedding and a little bit more. And I have to say I was really proud of Emily and Niomi making wonderful bridesmaids, and I just loved the whole adventure.
A weary tidy up on Sunday, and then an even wearier trip home with Storm Ashley making for an 'interesting' descent to Glasgow.
It was a whirlwind, a blast, a time to remember – but it's the energy, the love and the joy that I’ll remember most.
Thank you Bucks Rookes – you can sure throw a party. You conducted a true masterpiece, with an orchestra of helpers made up of so many wonderful people.

And mega congratulations to Chloe and Alex - a joyous day for such a joyous couple. It was all so very beautiful and inspiring being surrounded by so many great friends and family.
