The big day arrived- and my mother is now Mrs Madre, an honest woman, and all that jazz! I still can't quite believe it.
The service was held in Anne of Cleeves' House, in Lewes. It was a gorgeous ceremony, the house was all decked out in fairy lights and sprigs of leaves and flowers. Many tears were shed (good tears of course).
