Zoe and Nick Brickwood's Wedding 16th September 2017



Yesterday we had the pleasure of dressing up in our posh suits and pretty frocks to attend the wedding of Zoe King to Nick Brickwood at Westcliff Pavilion overlooking the coast. Joshua and Brandon were honoured with being page boys and trusted with the very important job of looking after the rings and presenting them when requested. Holly was dressed up as one of the page girls along with Leyla-Grace as well. The wedding seemed a little weird to me as I remember visiting hospital when Zoe was born, changing her nappies and feeding her. So to see her all grown up and getting married is a sign of generations moving on and made me feel particularly old!

 

The weather held off for the lovely couple despite downpours about an hour before the start. Everyone seemed to have an absolutely amazing time. The wedding went perfect, the sit down meal was lovely and everyone looked fantastic. Holly did amazing lasting until around 10pm when the signs of tiredness finally kicked in and she fell asleep on my lap. The two boys kept going all night and were really enjoying mingling with the family and messing around on the dance floor.

 

Nicky did absolutely amazing given what she has been through lately and although Paul couldn't manage the walk down the aisle, he managed to stand up and gave it a try which was incredible and very emotional at the same time. One thing for sure is that Mum and Slim would have been there in spirit and would have been so proud of everyone whilst they were looking down from above. Our life on the planet is so short and you never know when your time is up, so days like yesterday are to be treasured and make you realise that you should make the most of every single moment as you never know what curve balls are coming your way.

 

So from all the Wickford family we wish Zoe and Nick a long and prosperous future together and look forward to meeting the next generation in the family when the time comes.

 

Page boys and page girls all dressed up.

Holly looked absolutely beautiful and was perfectly behaved for a page girl.

The wedding venue overlooked the Essex coast line and the rain held off.



I think Brandon needs some bigger shoulders to fit his waist coat.



Love how natural the kids all look in this picture.



Lovely picture of Holly and her best friend Leyla.





Just about managed to get a picture of the 5 of us.

Once Holly had photo bombed she allowed me and Tina to get a picture together.

Holly loved her little sticky man which found itself on the wall, ceiling and everywhere in between.

It all got too much for Holly in the end and she ended up having a nap on my lap.
