We arrived at 8pm and were welcomed by our family
and friends – and the Rainbow chorus, who were singing.
The fabulous edana Minghella and her band provided the
entertainment later on, and our guests were very impressed
by an evening of swing and jazz. it was amazing to watch
edana singing from behind our table with a glass of wine.
Many guests were stunned when Michael sang a song for
me –
The Look of Love
, which made me feel very proud and
emotional. Finally, the dutch family gave a surprise
performance by dedicating a specially arranged song to us.
The evening lasted until the early hours, and we spent our
wedding night in the hilton Brighton Metropole. We are now
two years on and still very much in wedded bliss! We’re
continuing to have our home improvements done, we still love
travelling around the globe and this year it will be the 40th
anniversary of abba winning the eurovision Song contest!
needless to say, we'll be partying until dawn.
