So here I am in my digs, over in Liverpool, city of my fathers (and mothers) just putting the final touches to the speech and hoping that the grey skies defy the weather forecasts and don’t deliver the promised downpour. At one o’clock, at the church at Walton on the hill, I hand over our firstborn to one of the nicest, kindest and thoughtful men I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
So thoughtful, in fact, he brought Gina across to France last September, ostensibly for a late summer break, so he could ask me in person for her hand.
Today’s match will be brought to us by Trev the Rev, a twinkly, wry vicar, who took us through our paces on Thursday. One of the hymns will be ‘one more step’, and that’s exactly how it feels; one more step, one more daughter married, one more connection.
And, it might not rain…

I will pray that the rain goes elsewhere (here, we could do with a drop or two) and the day is a happy one.
Thanks Viv. And it’s grand to hear from you. I’ve been quiet for a while, I know. Hope all is well with you. 92% chance of rain means 8% chance of not rain, I guess, so fingers crossed.
The ‘follow’ system gave me a surprise this morning when you popped into my inbox.
Get her to the Church on time!
What a lovely blog, I’m so proud to have you walk me down the aisle dad xxxx
The honour is all mine. let’s have a terrific day! See you soon.
My fingers are crossed for the 8% chance of no rain to be the winner in the weather stakes! Hope you all have a lovely day, and congratulations to your daughter.
Thanks so much. We saw a spell of sunshine earlier. Oh the car’s here!
Best wishes (also hoping for rainless event).
May it be a day of wonder—with no rain! 😉

I little rain at a wedding day is good luck. We had rain and we have been married for 41 years.
congrats! what wonderful news of a new beginning…. and rain is said to have magical powers.
lovely photo…. loving parent ….happy couple….bravissimo!
Ok here’s the latest… It rained (a little) on the way into church, but was dry long enough for photos after the service. Then it poured down during the reception (we were all safely indoors), then the sun came out for outdoor drinks and photos. Couldn’t have been better! So, thanks to all the 8 percenters out there rooting for a little let up in the rain. It worked, guys!
Congratulations from a fellow Scouser!
