…in the heart of financial centre in the city of London

If you didn’t know about St. Dunstan you would probably never see it because it is surrounded by high rise buildings.

It was first built by St. Dunstan in 950 AD and rebuilt by Sir Christpher Wren after the Great Fire in 1697. During the blitz in World War II much of the church was destroyed but in the 60s gardens were created for the public to enjoy.

Thursday Throwback – Three Weddings

This year two of my three children have and will be celebrating their 10th wedding anniversaries and one celebrates 15 years of marriage. All three were very happy days and full of wonderful memories.

9/10/11

Our youngest daughter was married first and her anniversary date is always easy to remember. She and her now husband were married on September (9th month) on the 10th day in 2011. It was a beautiful late summer day and the outdoor wedding took place in a vineyard.

In 2016, our remaining two children decided to tie the knot. Andrea and Josie were married on their 10th anniversary of their first date, February 10th. It was a small wedding with family and close friends. They were married at City Hall and had the reception in a lovely Italian restaurant.

Five months later our son, Brendan and his beautiful wife, Azadeh were married in Assisi, Italy. The destination was chosen because it was the one place that all the families could attend without any visa restrictions. Also Brendan and Azadeh had a connection with the owner of the resort and they were able to book the entire place just for their guests. It was a magical place and a wedding that we won’t soon forget.
