But, the kids finally got on a plane today and headed out on their honeymoon (nearly five days late) so I'm sure they'll have time to rest and rejuvenate and reflect on what a beautiful wedding day they had.

As for remedies lots of water and rest I don't have anything else or maybe ice blocks to suck on.<br /><br />At our wedding my Mum had pneumonia and one of the groomsman had concussion after playing footy that day and went home before the main meal and the best man had a broken ankle from playing soccer but didn't know till after the wedding his ankle was so sore and at one stage he took his shoe off and then had to put it in a bucket of ice to bring some of the swelling down so he could get his shoe back on for more photos :) <br /><br />Have Fun<br />HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984438742736003285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-290449425210832872016-09-21T13:27:56.658+10:002016-09-21T13:27:56.658+10:00Thanks, Michelle!

Frustrating when everything is so well planned out in advance and something you can't even see can blow everything out of the water. Ah well, that's life, right? And yes, the rest of the photos will be wonderful, I'm sure. The photographer is very talented when it comes to capturing the essence of her subjects and she did a terrific job of the kids' engagement pics. Something else to look forward to!Yvonne Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13239798631137178485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-70739698720852680912016-09-21T13:09:16.031+10:002016-09-21T13:09:16.031+10:00The wedding photos look lovely, Yvonne, but what a...The wedding photos look lovely, Yvonne, but what a shame that the bride and grooms plans have been so totally scuppered. Well, I guess not totally as they will still get to go on their honeymoon...but hugs to them on the delay (and the horribleness of the lurgy), and hugs to you on all the hospital trips and the worries. I have my fingers crossed that everyone else manages to avoid the lurgy...and that the wedding photos arrive soon to help you remember all the happy from the event.

The 'bug' my youngest bridesmaid caught from a class mate at school, galloped through the entire wedding party. My hubby came down with it the first day of our honeymoon and me, a couple of days later. It was a week before we were seen out of our room, to lots of nudge-nudge-wink-wink-they're-newlyweds type comments. If only we'd been in there having as much fun as they all thought!Pam Swainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-60145842967463433682016-09-21T09:57:10.411+10:002016-09-21T09:57:10.411+10:00Good thinking, Amy!
