It’s the last day! We made it – it’s been tough, and I have to tell you there have been a lot of very late nighters to get this done but here we are on Day 14 of Fairtrade Fortnight. It’s not just about the groom and his guys today – we’re looking at the [...]

Hello! In part 1 I shared about our last-minute preparations, so here is how the actual wedding ceremony went.
