Alastair and Rhian's Wedding

The highlight of our trip home was the wedding of our son Alastair to Rhian. It was a lovely day. She looked stunning with a beautiful dress and her hair up. She was accompanied by 3 page boys, 2 flower girls and 2 bridesmaids, a lovely wedding party. Alastair had 3 best men including his brother and 2 friends from university. It was a good plan as the team were able to ensure that the wedding went smoothly.

The wedding was at a beautiful Norman church on the outskirts of Oxford. From there we walked along the tow path beside the Thames to the reception.

We had all of the traditions of an English wedding, photos, speeches, food, cake and dancing.

Sharing a joke with one of the best men

At the end of the evening they left for a hotel in Oxford through an archway of sparklers onto a waiting river barge.

It all made us feel a bit homesick and we would have happily stayed longer. However, the plane back was booked for Monday so we returned to Entebbe feeling a little jaded. We're now looking forward to our return home at the end of the placement in October and an opportunity to get to know our new daughter in law.
