Some of my oldest friends just got married in Seville.
Isn’t that the best?
When friends fall in love. It skips so much of what dating has become, there are no games, no playing hard to get, no-one pretends to be something they’re not – only to end up disappointing each other, they go into it with their eyes wide open, they see each other for who they truly are and take them as they are.
Of course the stakes are high.
If it doesn’t work out you don’t just lose a lover, you lose a friend, and those are valuable.
But as with all risks, the bigger the stakes the bigger the pay off!
When it works, it works.
And to be on the sidelines watching it all come together is pretty special too. Especially when it involves a wedding!
The celebrations began with a brunch to welcome everyone to the city.
We could have had a nice little lie in, maybe read the papers in bed, but with a city out there just begging to be explored, I couldn’t let it go to waste!
We dressed for the party but left early to watch the sun rise over Plaza de España.
A little keen, we arrived before the sun and waited patiently for it to peek over the building tops.
It wasn’t long before the square started to glow,
bathing the surrounding towers in gold.
And the sun burst above the rooftops, glittering through the bell tower and bringing the square to life.
