Over three months before saying anything, like a pregnancy.
Did they get to have any kind of honeymoon holiday?
Not sure if i've heard of The "World Famous" Tea Cosy or just some other tea cosy (unless you've shown it to us before), but i love that they have an etiquette page.
It's all very tasteful and lovely. Nice job. ≡ Click to see image ≡
We nearly got thrown out of the Tea Cosy for a breach of etiquette (mobile phone use). But the cakes and scones were fabulous.
Here's my set of Brighton photos (carefully edited at the time to ensure no trace of Specklet, TheDonF or cmonkey appeared in them) which has lots more views of the place.
This is half a slice of Victoria Sandwich. TheDonF ate the other half. It was a 6" cube of delicious creamy, jammy cakiness.
BUt it makes a lovely gift and everything you have or get is worth god knows how much more here. Your modest fortunes are twice as large here. Someone should hint up the extended family.
Wow, those were really beautiful essexjan. There is a real intimacy in those photos. A belated congratulations to Specklet and TheDonF. I hope things are wonderful for you two.
Awwww. The pink/turquoise palette going on in the photos is really amazing. You look gorgeous, the couple looks gorgeous, the town hall looks gorgeous. Congratulations!
amro, for various reasons, we didn't tell TheDonF's parents until recently. As much as we wanted to tell you guys, we couldn't until all the immediate family knew. But now everybunny knows and we're so happeeeee!
P.S. I won't tell you that cmonkey might have gotten a bit misty during the ceremony because he'd probably kill me for ruining his super-tough guy reputation. So I won't.
