The wedding all went according to plan with some lovely additional surprises provided by my and Andy’s friends. It was just such a lovely day, despite the short burst of rain just before the ceremony (it had dried up by the time we came outside for photos). We also had a hand fasting ceremony which followed the main ceremony and used the Roxburgh tartan (another surprise gift from two dear friends). We still await the official photos, but there are a few on Facebook.
We should have married a long time ago, but family politics always put us off and we just decided it was easier not to- that way no-one gets upset. However, my illness gave us a kick up the bum and we decided to do it our way. I am so glad that we went to Gretna Green and made it a small, intimate affair (it was also a heck of a lot cheaper). All of the staff at Gretna, including the minister, made it such a personalised wedding, giving us all the time we wanted. We had a lovely meal at the hotel, but I was in bed by nine pm as I was feeling sick. I can’t seem to eat very much in one go at the moment because it makes me sick.
Following the wedding, Andy and I spent a couple of extra days at Loch Lomond and Glasgow. We visited the Glengoyne distillery and Sterling Castle, but we didn’t make it to the show we had tickets for, as I was feeling too unwell. We headed back to Ipswich on Wednesday, but overnight on Wednesday my temperature went up to 39.1!
So, I am writing from my hospital bed as they are keeping me in for a few days to administer antibiotics and monitor my bloods. I was due my next lot of chemo yesterday, but they can’t give it until any infection has been treated. 😞
Keep going dear friend..we are all pulling for you... xxxgd
