Puddle Brook Wedding

 Hello friends...
I hope this finds you well

Today I am sharing some wedding photos from Puddle Brook, I know you wanted to see the bride and here she is

She's wearing her Grandmother's gold and pearl necklace handed down by her mother Amelia together with the gold sequined veil Amelia wore at her wedding

There's a tradition that the bride wears only leaves in her headdress until she is officially married after that she walks through the arch of flowers and the women folk add flowers to the headdress and a glittered veil

Here she is with her little cousin Briony

For Briony this is her first attendance at a wedding and she was so excited and completely bewitched by the glitter veil

 Amelia sobbed through the whole service, she was so proud of her daughter and wished that her father were still here to see his beautiful daughter. Sadly, he was lost at sea some years ago.. He was part of the search and rescue team and during a terrible storm one night he was called out to help with some stranded fishermen. Eleven lives were lost that night.


But this is a happy occasion and Amelia's tears were that of joy

And of course I had to share a photo of Eugene who wore his uniform for the wedding and looked so handsome

His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw his beautiful bride


I hope you've enjoy the tales of Puddle Brook, I'm giving them a break at least for awhile.

Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for all your lovely comments

Till soon

What a wonderful ending to the big day at Puddlebrook Ros...the wedding was just beautiful!! The bride was simply STUNNING in her glittered veil and beautiful gold and pearl necklace that her mom wore at her own wedding! And I can totally see why Eugene's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw his bride all dressed in her finery! Feel like I really was there celebrating with them!! Thanks for inviting us all along...truly a delight Ros!! Hugs. :0)

What a super wedding in Puddle Brook and love the beautiful bride and her little cousin Briony so cute in her pretty hat with a flower on the side and you can see how happy Amelia is to see her daughter married, and then of coure the dapper bridegroom in his smart uniform. What I love is the way you manage to keep the look of the characters the same for each card so they become recognisable. I hope you will keep us informed of future events and when there is the patter of tiny webbed feet we would love to know. x

Thanks for the update on the wedding! What a beautiful bride and her sparkly veil is beautiful! Eugene is so handsome and I love Amelia's red hat! This would make such a lovely children's book, Ros! You should check into having it published.

Sandy said it: delightful! Such an amusing read, I can't wait to hear more about Puddle Brook. Love the bride, though was very sorry to hear her Dad had passed away. It sounds like he was a hero, though...
