A very French wedding.

The two Stainsby girls escaped Four Acres for a weekend in Paris!
I drove down to London on Thursday night with Leah,and after spending the night at maman and daddy's with Sarah, we were joined by Kaz and Andy at 0630 and off we went. The three sisters had great fun "being" together ( a feat rarely seen) and winding daddy up!. We arrived in Paris in the afternoon and settled ourselves at Babette and Bruno's townhouse in "La Garenne Colombes". Unfortunately feeling unwell I needed to visit a GP who got me back on track for the wedding festivities. Saturday saw the arrival of countless wellwishing bouquets, a lovely get together lunch and meeting my cousins whom I haven't seen for fifteen years... We got our glad rags on and then to the "Hotel de Ville" (registry office) for a very legal, concise ceremony in the most oustanding room. The bride and groom were beaming with joy and the guests were delighted to be "in" on this very tender and happy union. The reception (once we had extricated the minibus from the very low ceilingued parking) was held in Auvers (where Van Gogh lived and painted the church) and the meal was a gastronomic sensation!!!
Sunday arrived and with the extra hour we lazed around, before suddenly having to up the tempo to pack up the bus ready to leave as soon as the buffet lunch was over (and Andy and Sarah had returned from their shopping trip across town!) We drove back to Blightey, as many other Brits did, hence the enormous queue at Eurotunnel! and arrived back to London rather later than anticipted. We stayed on for the night and drove back home to our boys in time for breakfast on Monday morning.
It was a memorable weekend for the wedding of course but also for having the three girls together with M&D, Leah enchanted all who met her and looked adorable in her dress (thanks Julie)
