A happy day today!

Hi everyone!
This 4th of July is a truly lovely day...

First, Hala has her birthday today!

Hala is a very dear and sweet friend from Lebanon... She's been such a caring friend ever since I came to know her last summer. She reads and comments on both my English and French blogs, so some of you may know her already! Hope you're having a wonderful day dear Hala.

~*~
Happy Independence Day to my friends in and from the US of A!
(in and from the US - let us not forget our expatriate friends)

And a smile...

What happened today?!

Congratulations! Do you wait until the church wedding to call yourself Mrs or are you already officially Mrs now?

It seems strange here in the UK for you to have to do a civil ceremony to make it all official. I would have thought a church wedding would have been more 'official' than a registry office one. I wonder what the reasoning behind it is.
