It’s just dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, the groom said

29 May 2008

There’s nothing like watching your best friend getting married to the man she loves to make your eyes sting. Lauren and I have been close for the past 14 years, having met for the first time at an open evening for our secondary school. We spent a day together before school began and while our Mums talked in the sitting room, Lauren and I made blueberry muffins in the kitchen. And that was the day that I decided I didn’t like blueberries very much. But that Lauren was very nice.

She still is, in fact. She’s my photography buddy, my foodie and my patient sounding board, as I regale her through the working day with interminably detailed emails, be they ridden with angst or giddy with joy. It was wonderful to be there on her wedding day and to share in her happiness. As well as her canapés.
