Our gorgeous third daughter, Daisy Demelza and the lovely Tom finally tied the knot… after 13 years of courtship!! 💒💍
It was a joyous day at Milden’s tiny St Peter’s Church, crammed with friends and family… belting out hymns, lots of laughter and happy tears! Followed by a homespun reception in the walled garden at Milden Hall, supper and speeches in the Tudor Barn and a jolly evening of barn dancing 💃🏻🕺🏻
HUGE thanks to so many people. But to name a few …
💒 Rev Mike Birt for marrying the third and final Hawkins daughter
📸 Lucy J Toms for the beautiful photos… and vibes!
💐 theboulein’s Cathy for doing spectacular flowers from kind friends’ gardens (thank you!!) and Peter for buffing & chauffeuring in his blue Tornado and blue velvet cap - very special indeed.
🎻 Emily - Alternative Handfasting Celebrant for playing the fiddle so beautifully under the copper beech tree
💃🏻 the best ever band for patiently running the barn dance to a lot of new & eager ceilidh dancers!!
🌯 and all of our fabulous friends from near and far who smilingly helped prep food, manage the kitchen & feed the guests!
What a day 😮💨🥰
