On October 14th 2025 we celebrated the exchange of wedding vows between No\u00ebl and David. Cancun Mexico provided the perfect backdrop for this special day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was was probably one of the most memorable weeks in my life seeing my precious granddaughter marry the man of her dreams. I don’t think one could ask for her to have met a better person. Their love for each other shone through every moment and the love that family and friends shared with them was absolutely amazing. As I said in my speech to them “May your life together be filled with joy, resilience, and the kind of love that makes even the bumpiest roads a source of laughter.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please use the comments section to add personal thoughts, info and anecdotes about the wedding week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A transcript of my speech is attached here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
